As a Jewish family, we acknowledge how strong communities are in their resilience and survival of white supremacy. We believe in naming and confronting racism and white supremacy, including where it exists in our own behaviors and practices. We commit to shifting economic, political, and cultural power towards individuals and communities directly affected by this oppressive system.

By centering grantees, we are practicing trust and seeking to be in alignment with the needs of communities. We recognize the multitudes of our privilege, the limitations they create, and we seek to continuously listen, learn, and unlearn.

We do this by providing multi-year general operating support, keeping our processes simple, and committing to supporting grantees beyond financial investment.

It is our responsibility to envision and act toward a future of shared freedom with all peoples. Our interdependence is essential, and we will only arrive in olam haba, the world to come, if we work collectively.
