💡 If you work with non-profits, then it’s no secret that it's getting harder and harder for them to reach their fundraising objectives.

Abilities First celebrates Disability Pride Month 💪🏻 What does that mean? Disability pride has been described as “accepting and honoring each person’s uniqueness and seeing it as a natural and beautiful part of human diversity.” 85% of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) are unemployed.

On Monday 4/22, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear the case of City of Grants Pass, Oregon v. Johnson, a Supreme Court case that will determine whether a local government can arrest or fine people for sleeping outside when adequate shelter is not available. The case is expected to have a significant impact on local responses homelessness and the rights of people who are unsheltered. The National Low Income Housing Coalition, National Homelessness Law Center, National Coalition for the Homeless, and National Alliance to End Homelessness are organizing a National Week of Action to Oppose the Criminalization of Homelessness and have created this toolkit (linked in the post below) to support local advocacy. As stated in the toolkit, "The Supreme Court case comes amidst a growing wave of criminalization in communities nationwide. Criminalization is not a solution to homelessness; it is an outdated, dehumanizing, and counterproductive approach that makes it harder to address this crisis. Criminalization disproportionately harms Black and Indigenous people, who are overly represented among those who experience homelessness due to longstanding, systemic racism in housing and other sectors. Instead, the approach proven to be most effective in addressing homelessness is providing access to affordable housing and voluntary supportive services, including case management, healthcare, and behavioral health services. Rather than arresting people for being unhoused, policymakers at the local, state, and federal levels should use all available tools to address the affordable housing crisis that fuels homelessness and to help unhoused people move into homes and access supportive services." See the toolkit for more information and resources to join the National Week of Action!

CoBiz magazine just ran my guest column about what I call the silent epidemic of discrimination and neglect: the systemic violation of civil rights for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). It's time we recognize that this is more than a DEI issue; it is a civil rights issue.

Does your company distribute grants? run employee engagement programs? do other social impact work? What about measuring, managing and tracking the effectiveness and impact of its CSR work? The Corporate Measurement & Evaluation Community of Practice is conducting a benchmarking survey to understand the state of M&E across the corporate landscape - who is doing it, how, why and what tools and approaches are being used. If you are directly responsible for measuring and reporting on the impact of your companies CSR work, or you have visibility into it, we'd like to hear from you! https://lnkd.in/gv9Deiwi Please note, We have taken special care in crafting the survey so that we aren’t repeating information that can be found elsewhere. This benchmarking will complement that done by ACCP and CECP.  The responses are 100% confidential and data will only be reported in aggregate.  More information on the Corporate Measurement & Evaluation (M&E) Community of Practice in comments.

Housing affordability is a top three issue for all age groups, and politicians listening to voters is a top two issue for each. 👂🏼🏡 Younger voters tended to prioritize crowded neighborhoods, earning enough to pay for non-housing needs, housing affordability, and K-12 education. Older voters prioritized abortion and women’s rights, air quality, partisan politics, and politicians listening to voters. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/geWJUWxJ
