Excited to share perspective alongside @a_russman in @FastCompany. After Dobbs v Jackson, corporations stepped up to fill abortion care gaps. We ask: What consequences does this have on worker power? Health equity? For @Starbucks, PR from benefits helps cover up union busting.

Anti-monopoly is so much more than antitrust. It is a way of viewing the world through the lens of power: who has it, how it is wielded, and whether it's used to dominate or to partner. This frame helps cut through a lot of partisan politics, false dichotomies, and red herrings.

@AmakaAgbo @rajasvini @changecrusader & @ABLImpact are four powerful voices that leaders in #philanthropy & #ImpInv need to listen to right now and into the future. I'll do my best not to get too much in the way of their actionable and visionary insight and experiences. 👊🏾🙏🏾

In a @guardian op-ed, @darrenwalker implores those with power and wealth to embrace sacrifice. “You give up some of your privilege for something far more valuable: justice.” https://t.co/4hMmtRRB6Z

The individuals leading change, and making the largest sacrifices, are all too often the people most threatened by inequality
