Also, have to shout out @bridgitaevans who was also named on @Ruth_STaylor thread. Everything that @PopCollab puts out is amazing. The Becoming America fund showcases the way they bring together folks within entertainment, philanthropy, and social justice.

In my communications consulting work, I advise #globaldev organizations to no longer view communications as an “add-on” service department, first beholden to the #fundraising function of an organization. /1
At this point in history, communications departments can and must be developing narrative change strategies that support the vision of the world they and their partners are building. #DevComms /2
In this week of #GivingTuesday, it may appear that #narrativechange work is at odds with proven fundraising practices. how-matters.org/2018/12/04/giv… /3
