Non-profits & Activism
Sub Category
Atlanta's newest organization dedicated to recognizing that not only do the Lives of Black People Matter but also Black Votes Matter & Black Economics Matter.
This video is an introduction to the Let's Define Progress Conference as well as the goals and roots of our Economic Activism arm. We are an African American owned Non Profit that's actually focused on Economic Activism that makes Black people across the globe the primary focus of our actions. The Let's Define Progress Conference exists to foster economic bonds between African people regardless of where they call home. It is our hope that United, African people can begin to use what we as a people have available to us today in an effort to truly create a foundation from which our children can grow and build upon.
A Black farmer is using her farm to fight against racial injustice, health disparities and inequalities in the food system. Leah Penniman calls the lack of access to fresh produce "food apartheid." Errol Barnett spoke to the activist about how her nonprofit is helping hundreds of families eat healthier, while also opening opportunities to young Black farmers, for the "CBS This Morning" series A More Perfect Union.
There is an inspiring trend in the current political environment: more activists are turning to entrepreneurship, and more investors are willing to support efforts to create a stronger civic environment through enterprise. This trend has important implications for who gets funded, how power gets built in communities, and how enterprises can be a tool for transformative social change.
Joining the Transform Finance Investor Network in this webinar are Julie Menter of New Media Ventures, the first seed fund and national network of angel investors supporting media and tech startups that disrupt politics and catalyze progressive change, and Sarah Williams of Propel Capital, an investor in New Media Ventures.
Naomi Nyambura Theuri is a social entrepreneur and visual artist from Kasarani, Kenya, who is in her 20s. We are happy to have her join our community.
After witnessing the post-election violence, Naomi developed a passion for Pan-Africanism. She graduated from Alliance Girls High School in 2015 and later from Vanderbilt University in 2021. Naomi has also worked as a mechanical engineer, and for a Fortune 500 company. In December 2021, she reopened her own fashion business, Naomi's Faves.
She is passionate about helping single mothers in the slums and is grateful for her life, despite its contradictions.
Let's Create Africa, a PR, Communications and Media social enterprise, and Startinev, an innovation ecosystem enabler, have come together to create a show dubbed 'Let's Create Africa,' a weekly webinar highlighting and discussing Business Technology, Innovation and Governance within Africa.

In Africa with 55 countries, countless initiatives follow their visions of a prosperous Africa for everyone. The resurgence of social protest movements, environmental and climate activists, feminist women's networks, local peace initiatives, digital start-ups, creative art centers and critical intellectuals are an expression of these aspirations.
Africans Rising, the pan-African network of social protest movements for justice, peace and dignity is based on the Kilimanjaro Declaration. Africans Rising unites thousands of activists struggling in their respective national or local contexts for a better world for all. Kumi Naidoo, the former Director of Greenpeace and Amnesty Int’l, calls Africans Rising a decentralised network to “stand up for your rights and to overcome African mass traumas.”
At the beginning of the VIDC series of events “Africa. Beyond crises” we invited representatives from Africans Rising as well as from Austrian anti-racist and climate movements to talk to them about their struggles and their dreams.
In the panel discussion, we explored what visions Africans Rising is fighting for and how their struggles are linked to climate and anti-racist movements in Austria.

The United States estimates that over 15,000 children are trafficked from West Africa every year. This is despite efforts by governments and non-profit organizations to curb the trend.

Glenn Farred unpacks some key insights from the Africa NPO Regional Consultation which took place in Cape Town, South Africa during 22 - 24 May 2023
This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Mallence Bart-Williams introduced her second home Sierra Leone and its talented people, who are part of her project FOLORUNSHO. Find out more via http://www.tedxberlin.de
Mallence Bart-Williams was born in Cologne, Germany. She is a Sierra Leonean writer and filmmaker and a German fashion designer. She pursued her studies in economics and finance in Paris, Singapore, and Great Britain. Today she lives across the globe, produces an all-natural cosmetics line in Hong Kong, and is the founder and creative director of the Freetown-based creative collective FOLORUNSHO, a ‘SHARITY’ that she initiated with street kids in Sierra Leone.
Due to her German-Sierra Leonean roots she perceives herself as a bridge connecting two vastly different worlds. Her diverse background enables her to see creative solutions to common problems. Within their three years of operation, her collective has taken homeless children off the streets and into school, developed a sneaker and clothing collection, published a book and documentary of their story, and has held fine art exhibitions. Through her work with FOLORUNSHO she connects cultural contrast, enabling people to share ideas, take action, and get results.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
Production Agriculture’s reality - increasingly - involves doing battle with groups opposed to what we do, how we do it, and even our very existence. While we (grudgingly) accept this in places like California, the movement against farming is now common in “fly over country” too. In this episode I sit down with Leah Bunkers and Jim Pinkert, two members of Families Feeding Families, an organization founded to combat anti-Ag activism Yankton, SD where activists infiltrated local politics in the Ag-centric county. If it can happen in South Dakota, it can happen anywhere. In this episode I shed light on the business model and religious movement of opposing Agriculture.

LEAD, Leading Equity And Diversity, is a series of conversations where attendees have the opportunity to hear from a diverse group of guests who lead and/or support DEI and social justice initiatives.

In the midst of an unprecedented pandemic and highly-publicized uprisings against racism, there has been a significant upsurge in student activism advocating for a more inclusive and equitable environment. How can higher education professionals support this just cause and leverage the passion and experiences of student activists.
