Important conversations around our democracy, justice and equity are at a tipping point. In this moment, how can we ensure our communities are inclusive, equitable and participatory? And amid the COVID-19 pandemic and our current moment of reckoning on race, what are the new demands of citizenship?
On the next episode of VISION, we’re talking with two members of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences Commission on the Practice of Democratic Citizenship: Antonia Hernández, president and CEO of the California Community Foundation, and Stephen B. Heintz, president and CEO of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund. They’ll share their insights on building equitable communities that work in service of their residents.
(Thursday, June 18, 1 p.m. ET)
Stephen Heintz is the president and CEO of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund. In 2010, he set an ambitious path to align investment of the Fund’s financial assets with its mission, resulting in its 2014 decision to divest from fossil fuels, and establishing the RBF as a leader in the Divest-Invest movement. He has devoted his career to strengthening democratic culture and institutions to better serve citizens.
Antonia Hernandez is nationally regarded for her expertise in immigration, civil rights and philanthropy. She has spent more than four decades advocating for social justice and improving the lives of underserved communities in Los Angeles County and beyond. Since 2004, she has served as president and chief executive officer of California Community Foundation, one of Southern California’s largest and most active philanthropic organizations.
