@SDCatalyst @normachavezp @CalEndow @ICFDN @sd_fdn @CHayling @sdACLU @Funders_Network @DianeTakvorian @kamaalornothing It's the network and our relations that make us strong. So good to spend time building both together!!!

This week, Catalyst team members attended The Funders Network national conference right here in San Diego. We learned *so much* from national/local speakers and participants, including @normachavezp. Shout out to Catalyst members who sponsored #TFN2022 - @CalEndow @ICFDN @sd_fdn!

"Move not just away from whiteness (assimilation), but towards solidarity." A powerful evening with @AsianSolidarity San Diego API Coalition and more to honor the victims, survivors and families of the Atlanta murders of Asian women a year ago.

Y'all, I'm excited by the #Tijuana-#SanDiego designation as the 2024 World Design Capital. Video @ bit.ly/3h1OIt2 Have ideas how to use this to promote binational connection & racial equity, HMU! w/ @worlddesignorg @BurnhamCenterSD

Just remembered how much I like the music of #Juanes 🎶🎸 Highly recommend.

So proud of how we come together with @Socalgrantmaker and @NorCalGrant as Philanthropy CA for the greater good of our great state of California. Shout out @DwayneSMarsh, Chris Essel, Karla Mercado

Philanthropy & government coming together at our annual discussion about working together for #climate, #healthforall, #homelessness, #mentalhealth, #immigrants and more. @SDCatalyst @sd_fdn @AllianceHF @LuckyDuckFound #PhilanthropyCA Thanks for hosting us @kkellyjanus!

Just got real excited about work in #SanDiego to drive funding to diverse founders -- @innovationscity & @f1stcp are leading the way.

"Love is calling." -Rev. Beth Thank you for a beautiful morning! #apcsd2022

@tonymanolatos @ToddGloria @ewfitzsimons But why is nobody eating the peaches?! 🍑

Look closely. That’s Mayor @ToddGloria delivering the State of the City address. We’re watching over dinner - the boys, SD Library Commissioner @ewfitzsimons, and me. Go Mayor Gloria! #SOTCSD22

What will you bring into 2022? I'm breathing into UJIMA, a principle of Kwanzaa meaning 'collective work & responsibility:' to build and maintain community together and make your problems OUR problems and solve them together. Love to you...see you soon.🌠

@SDCatalyst @RSFFoundation @GEOfunders @ICFDN We are going to need to keep showing up, again & again, with and for one another. Exhausted and hopeful. We have and will do great things together. #letsgo

Hi @nature_org. Love your work but this mailing is an abomination, totally not mission compatible. Please rethink how you take care of nature in all aspects of your work.

The SD-TJ World Capital Design award highlights that "the border" is an outdated framework. "...the solutions of the future will have to transcend traditional geographic borders." Yes! @BurnhamCenterSD sandiegouniontribune.com/opinion/commen…

#Reckoning is a big word, but freeing. Truth-telling, embracing harm we've caused, then acting to liberate ourselves alongside those harmed by doing better. I'm just beginning...& proud to be part of the institutional version @museumofus #decolonize artsandculture.google.com/story/OwVB4cUK…

@SDCatalyst What a powerful day hearing from change-makers from across #SanDiego and #ImperialValley & @GEOfunders! Now let's go, friends, #ALLIN for transformative progress. #CatalystAC2021
