"In this tumultuous moment, we must use our pain as fuel to redouble our efforts toward that future: a future that is more inclusive, more equitable, and more just; a future in which finance is used as a powerful lever to tackle our most urgent challenges; a future in which the “black lives matter” mantra is understood simply as a statement of fact.” - GIIN CEO Amit Bouri shares his reflections on structural racism and urges all those in positions to make change happen to take action.

In this Op-ed published by Philanthropy News Digest, the GIIN’s Managing Director, Giselle Leung, gives insights into the manifold responses and tangible actions that the current COVID-19 crisis has prompted amongst the hundreds of member organizations of the Global Impact Investing Network. Giselle explains that “at the GIIN, we see those actions falling into three primary phases: a response phase, with a focus on immediate health and financial needs; a recovery phase, with a focus on rebuilding and tackling the social and economic impacts of the pandemic; and a resilience phase, with a focus on long-term systems change.” She notes that the crisis is laying bare deep inequalities in our wider society and underscores that “as we strive to become more resilient in the years after the crisis has passed, we must do everything in our power to prevent those inequities from taking hold again.”
