“What will it take to build a global civil society and funding system that center equity, justice, and flourishing lives for all?”
As you settle after the 2023 #ShiftThePower Global Summit experience with 700 plus change makers in Bogotá, Colombia, the aside “Summit Communique” is here. It is dedicated to you who felt restless and vowed to reclaim the lost power of alternatives, diversity, and solidarity to create the world we want. Much credit goes to the event organizers, led by Jenny Hodgson, Global Fund for Community Foundations (GFCF), and her creative team, for confronting the world’s pain through relaxed atmospheres, light-up talks, and plenty of connecting spaces. And you of course,100%.
Indeed, development and humanitarian work are becoming more traumatic and difficult amidst geopolitical cold ideologies of control, greed, and destruction. We know that building the civil society and funding system we desire is a long journey with turbulences, blockages, and delays, but we are determined to reach our destination.
