NonProfit Quarterly

Image credit: Photo by Ogulcan Ercal on Unsplash The values attributed to success under capitalism are not the same values that lead to equity and sustainability for society.

In reply to Geoffrey Close. I stand with Jews around the world in fighting antisemitism. I can’t stand with Israeli government and the extreme violence both before and after the Hamas’ horrific attack. Thousands of people, including children, have been killed, with far more Palestinians than Israelis. Both groups are violent. And nothing justifies the rise of antisemitism around the world and I am committed to speaking out against it.
