Compensation and Investments

"At the end of the day, a budget should be able to tell you what the values are of an organization just as well as a mission or vision statement." -Ronee Penoi

Led by Adrian Budhu, Sara Mokuria, Ronee Penoi, and Corinna Schulenburg

A budget is a moral document, and in this session we took a hard look at how our values do and don’t show up in how we compensate and invest. We focused on the #WeSeeYouWAT demands that include: transparency of board affiliations; vendor audits; publishing organizational budgets; ending contracts with police departments; divesting from oil companies building on native and indigenous lands; and more. We’ll also center the needs of freelance artists who are facing severe economic precarity as well as union challenges.
