** Resourcing the Field: Freedom Dreams
------------------------------------------------------------

September 24, 2025

In today’s Resourcing the Field newsletter, we examine the ever-present resourcing challenge from the perspectives of both movement groups and philanthropy.

We begin with a bold exploration by three Black male nonprofit leaders ([link removed]) of what it means to show up as a Black male leader these days and why a core part of nonprofit leadership and staff resourcing staff work today is care work.

Next, a look at the potential and difficulties of building alliances between Jewish and Black activists ([link removed]) to forge a stronger unified movement to confront contemporary authoritarian threats and advance liberation.

Then, we highlight an interview with Edgar Villanueva on the Decolonizing Wealth Project and the movement for reparations ([link removed]) . The latter, Villanueva notes, is showing far more progress than the news these days would suggest.

Last but not least, in the latest installment of State of the Movements ([link removed]) , NPQ’s column dedicated to tracking the pulse of social movements and the solidarity economy, authors from the Generative Journalism Alliance dive deep into what it means to pursue a “just transition.” ([link removed])

As you read these stories, I hope you find some inspiration—and perhaps get a few ideas on how to resource your own work, even in today’s difficult times.
