Who Gets to Be ‘Legit’? BackBlack: The Movement That Proved Community Is the Infrastructure with Floyd Jones

Episode 222 Published 4 months ago
Description

A lot of movement builders might be thinking, who actually gets to be considered “legit”?

We are celebrating Black History Month, and in a very short amount of time, BackBlack has built massive momentum, which is why I had to have one of my favorite repeat guests back on the show, Floyd Jones.

This incredible case study unravels how they’ve helped move nearly $4 million to Black-led organizations, built a directory of close to 2,000 organizations, and driven tens of thousands of people to take action.

We also talk about the structural realities many Black-led organizations face: 44% have no full-time staff, and most operate on less than $30,000 a year. The real question this episode raises is what becomes POSSIBLE when trust, proximity, and community are treated as legitimate infrastructure?!
