“We don’t chase money. We don’t pander to funders. We do the work that we believe serves our people and our mission. And that has served us. We ARE the dream that our ancestors dreamed.” — BYP100 Staff
There is no getting around the reality that we live in a capitalist society where the goods and labor necessary to do our work cost money. We exist and operate within the same systems that we are also trying to abolish.
This week’s blog post is a visual and audio recording (vlog) of Sam Daley, BYP100 Development Manager, and Nzinga West, BYP100 Managing Director. They will explain internal budgeting processes, how access to funding is acquired, and long-term strategies/proposals around the usage of funds for our organization’s future. The recording can be accessed using the member-only password issued to all members via internal communications.
The video can be divided into three sections. A guide for where and when those sections start is below:
- (00:01) 2018–2021 Budget Process
- (23:38) Access & Accountability
- (36:36) Freedom Dreams & Next Steps
