During the event, I articulated my resolve to move beyond the philanthropic status quo. I firmly believe that courageous philanthropy is essential for advancing racial justice and equity. This is our opportunity to lead boldly and authentically, forging sustainable systemic change for the communities most impacted by disinvestment.

At Weingart, we are focused on building movements that tackle the root causes of inequality. Our goal is to cultivate radical solidarity across communities and to collaborate deeply with those on the ground, ensuring that our partnerships are founded on trust.

I invite you to watch this brief video, which captures our time together and shares my vision for the future of Weingart. Together, we can transform our work into a beacon of change that resonates throughout the country.I am excited about the path ahead and look forward to walking it with each of you.

Warm regards,

Joanna S. Jackson
