“I was talking to a fundraiser who said they used AI and they doubled their annual appeal revenues from $50K to $100K. Well, is your 50k in additional funds worth the $300K's worth of environmental and other forms of damage and trauma to communities?” - Carlos García León

Hi everyone, on May 28th at 1pm to 2pm Pacific, I’ll be in conversation with some brilliant leaders (including Jan Masaoka and Al Cantor) about regulatory and tax reform of private foundations, such as with Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs). It’s free. Register here. -- A couple of years ago,

A routine reminder that it's always a good idea to boycott #Substack.
We have long known that it platforms and profits from Nazi publications. And now: #manosphere influencers with multiple accusations of serious crimes... so much so that there is a dedicated Wikipedia page about them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_affairs_of_the_Tate_brothers
No problem for #Substack though! They happily take a 10% cut from all paid subscriptions.
There are many great alternatives to SS: Ghost, Buttondown, beehiiv, Patreon... no more excuses
This May Day, a broad coalition of organizations are uniting for a day of action and economic power, including this rally and march. We are taking action in solidarity with workers, immigrants and everyone impacted the most by the Trump regime’s barbaric attacks on our rights and freedoms. Join us to support these organizations for a powerful May Day in Chicago! We continue our resistance to the Trump regime by showing up on this International Workers' Day -- and every day -- to fight for a better future and country that serves workers, not billionaires, and to demand ICE out of our communities! When workers and communities rise up together, we fight back with more power and we will WIN! We stand with our partners at: Chicago Federation of Labor, Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, Chicago Teacher's Union, Illinois Labor History Society, SEIU HCII and more. We’re united to demand fair wages, safe conditions, healthcare, education, voting rights, immigrant rights, LGBTQ+ rights, abortion rights, and dignity and justice for all. More events and actions across the city coming soon—stay tuned for more info or go to: https://chicagomayday.org/ Please note: A core principle behind all our events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.
