URBAN REVITALIZATION OF PLANNED EXTINCTION
Why do some neighborhoods need revitalizing? Urban revitalization implies something was once thriving but now must be restored. In this talk, economist and historian Trevon D. Logan (Hazel C.

He shares his perspective on how to acknowledge the past and change blighted communities today. 

VOICES FROM THE FIELD: RURAL ORGANIZERS ON WHAT THEY NEED FROM FUNDERS
As a first step in establishing a framework and priorities, the Integrated Rural Strategies Group commissioned a scan of rural organizing work.

Capturing the voices of organizers on the ground, the scan identified the following priorities: infrastructure and capacity, strategizing for impact, and anti-racist organizing.
