Being a #changemaker often means long days, often anywhere BUT the office. @TouchPointBmore is home base, and a unique space designed for radical #collaboration among #Baltimore #nonprofits looking to make change a reality in our city. Together with @threadinsta and @center_for_urban_families, community and corporate partners, we're working to put our city's collective interests above those of any single organization and break down the silos that too often keep us from being most effective in our work for #socialchange. #bestplaceintheworldtochangetheworld

Talk about everyday #changemakers... these are the folks that inspire me. Facilitated by Program Manager Tamara Arnold, this #changemaker panel shared their wisdom with our new Fellows today at orientation. Founder of BOND: Building Our Nation's Daughters and co-host of @pointofhuepodcast, Ateira Griffin (@ms_amg18) is a @BaltimoreCorps alumna of #BCorpsCohort4. Alphonso Mayo is the founder of #Mentoring Mentors and worked with us as an executive-in-residence. Kim Trueheart (@trueheart4life) is a community activist and invaluable partner here in #Baltimore. Being an everyday changemaker is NOT something one does alone -- it can only be done successfully in #community. I'm so thankful for the ever-expanding Baltimore Corps network, dedicated to making systems-level change together. #bestplaceintheworldtochangetheworld

In between meetings @open_works_bmore with @baltimorecorps Director of Employer Engagement Sarah Flammang and Frank Knott and the folks at #Innovation Works. Proud to be supporting their executive search through our year-round Place for Purpose service. Innovation Works is a new collaborative knowledge center in #Baltimore working to reduce neighborhood and racial wealth divide through #socialentrepreneurship and supporting everyday #changemakers.

My 'morning routine' was a bit different this morning, as sometimes being an everyday #changemaker means catching a red-eye for just a few minutes at #HomeSweetHome and a little #Frenchpress -- have to caffeinate -- before running off to meetings. I value the thought partnership and support of champions across the country, and always enjoy coming home to #Baltimore -- the #bestplaceintheworldtochangetheworld.

One of the highlights of each year is getting to meet our new Fellows! The #Fellowship is @BaltimoreCorps' flagship program, and today we're welcoming our 5th cohort of 39 Fellows, with placements throughout #Baltimore's #socialimpact sector. THESE are the everyday #changemakers I admire, committed to working with their Visionary Cause Leaders to increase sector effectiveness and advance a citywide agenda for equity and #racialjustice.#bestplaceintheworldtochangetheworld

#CaseTakeover update from @sncordes: What a thoughtful surprise from our friends at the Tiffany & Co Foundation! Shortly after my fiancé and I got engaged, I moderated a keynote panel with the President of the T&Co Foundation around their company’s commitment towards sustainability and wildlife conservation - which is quite impressive! We had a great time chatting about the unique intersection of saving endangered elephants, luxury jewelry & conscious consumerism through their Save The Wild collection. Such a sweet treat for this Tuesday’s takeover! Cheers to the many ways that fashion can overlap with other social impact areas 🥂

Everyone can have an impact with their dollars. It’s not just impact investing that will make a difference, it is with each and every one of our purchases that we should consider what type of company we are supporting. Are the workers paid a fair wage? What are their factory conditions? After making a few shifts in my own wardrobe, I have committed to only buying from companies that align with my values. My outfit in this picture for the #CaseTakeover portrays a few of my favorite ethical fashion brands: - Shirt: @amourvert USA-made, organic cotton, plants a tree for every t-shirt bought- Skirt: @renttherunway a subscription model where I can rent something rather than buy new!- Shoes: @matt_and_nat eco-friendly, vegan leather- Earrings: @shopsoko - ethical jewelry made from sustainable materials in Kenya- Sunglasses: @maiyet - luxury artisan handcrafted collections

Happy Tuesday from sunny New York City! I’m @sncordes and I’m excited to give you guys a behind the scene look into my life as a millennial impact investor, philanthropist and sustainable fashion advocate. In my current role as Vice Chair of the @cordesfdn, I use my previous experience in the fashion/publishing industry alongside my passion for women’s equality and social justice to support organizations and companies that are using fashion as a positive force for change! This morning of the #CaseTakeover started with a homemade açaí bowl with granola and fruit eaten while on my Manhattan rooftop. Perks of working from home 💻☀️👌🏽

To any caretaker of anybody or any community, remember that self-care is important. This line of work is exhausting and compassion-fatigue is real. So remember to take care of yourself and when you do, don't be hard on yourself.⁣⁣I'm not saying jump out a plane, but take time to expand your hobbies and do things that you enjoy.⁣⁣Thank you to my team and @socialworks_chi for allowing me to do work that I love and the Case Foundation for considering this joe-shmoe from 79th, on Chicago's Southside, as a millennial changemaker! #socialworkschi #socialworks #supportCPS

This is for the foundations, institutions, brands, and shot-callers! LET THE PEOPLE IN! Be comfortable opening the doors to the boardroom and being vulnerable to one's short-comings. It is only with this, can we work together to improve the quality of life for everyone.⁣⁣⁣⁣For example, our New Chance: Arts & Literature Fund. A granting system we created with Chicago Public Schools & Ingenuity. We empower principals to create their vision schools. We've seen disciplinary rates decrease, graduation rates increase, attendance increase, science labs constructed, and so many classes implemented bell-to-bell.⁣⁣⁣⁣Without CPS' willingness to allow a conversation with SocialWorks none of this would be possible. And look, a year later we've raised $4M for the students of Chicago and inspired tons to get involved. From kindergartners, small businesses, law firms, the Chicago Bulls, Jewel Osco, Google, and SOOOO many people we've been able to begin to rewrite the narrative and give kids what they deserve. AND IT ALL STARTED WITH A CONVERSATION WITH 20-something-year-olds!⁣⁣⁣⁣So lets rejoice in the next generation's ideas and know that it could be an opportunity for endless possibility. #supportCPS

And that's what we do at SocialWorks. We've all been the graphic designer, custodian, truck driver, volunteer, or whatever it takes to put ourselves in a position to gain trust within Chicago. All with the intention of inspiring people to do what they can to help. We develop our programming off positivity, leadership, and inclusiveness and reinvigorating community institutions like churches and libraries, which build a community, based in heart and hustle.⁣⁣Without the companies, brands, and PEOPLE there would be no SocialWorks. This relationship reminds me of one of my favorite Andre 3000 verses.⁣⁣"If it don't move your feet then I don't eat so we like neck-to-neck⁣Yes, we done come a long way like them slim-ass cigarettes⁣From Virginia, this ain't gon' stop, so we just gon' continue"⁣⁣This speaks to that relationship. We LOVE the work we do. If you give us an inch we'll turn it into sustainability and impact. So if you don't know what to do in this climate, volunteer, donate, inspire others, or do whatever it takes to pass the love and it will come back 50-fold. SocialWorks and a lot of dope organizations need it and are counting on it.

But as we move into the future, there are "activists" that are doing the same work. One is Michael Airhart ( @michaelairhartexperience )! He's an individual that's committed himself to serving the homeless for the last 5 years! He is a servant-leader and has inspired tons of people to donate through him and volunteer. The work that we all do as Change Makers DOESN'T WORK WITHOUT PEOPLE PLUGGING IN!Michael has done a phenomenal job being the change that people want to see and allowing himself to be that extension of the people.

An activist is a person who campaigns to bring about political or social change. These are some of the activist, among others, that inspire me on a daily. People who have empowered others to feel bigger than themselves and, most importantly, plug-in. These people are pretty cliche but have done nothing less than set the standard and are still very important. I see a lot of millennials doing the same thing, creating change from the bottom-up and top-down, and it motivates me and @socialworks_chi team.⁣⁣⁣⁣This is also a hilarious rendering of these icons and don't forget that! #socialworks #socialworkschi

Staring out at the vastness of the #GrandCanyon, and can’t help but think that in a way it all started with one small river. Powerful reminder of the potential each of us has to make an impact in our world. Social change starts with people, not institutions.

A year ago, following the tragedy of #hurricaneharvey, I flew to #Houston and volunteered with the @houstonfoodbank -- the largest (and probably the most progressive, inclusive and innovate) food bank in America! In the wake of disaster, don’t just look for the helpers...be a helper. - @shane_feldman #InstagramTakeover

You are the product of your community. I am consistently surrounded by inspiring leaders and visionaries. That didn’t happen by default, it happened by design. It starts with being intentional about where you spend your time and who you spend it with. Find key mentors and surround yourself with friends who inspire you and challenge you. - @shane_feldman #InstagramTakeover

It was a pleasure to connect with all of you today at the #casetakeover! And the best way to end the day is by introducing you to the heart & soul of @VotoLatino: the #latinx voters and our volunteers. This is what Latinx youth engagement looks like! Over the weekend we worked with volunteers and partners in various events on the ground to help with voter registration efforts. Young #Latinx have the power to create a more inclusive democracy. Don’t believe those who say youth engagement can’t make a difference.Over 27 million Latinx are eligible to vote in this election ✌️✌️✌️✌️and over 60% are under age 33 🙋🏽! This is your time… Juntos #SomosMas ¡Gracias! - @mariateresakumar

I often appear on TV and also get to meet several leaders in the community, the media and celebrity partners who support @votolatino’s mission. But planning and running a large campaign requires a lot of work that happens behind the scenes and is not glamorous 😀. During campaign crunch time is all hands on deck! These #SomosMas t-shirts are being packaged and sent to activists and partners all over the country to create awareness about the #Latinx community coming together to rise and be represented #casetakeover

And I’m back. Registering thousands of people to vote is no easy job but I ❤️ it! Here I am talking to partners nationwide to coordinate voter registration efforts. We really appreciate our partners and are extremely lucky to have their support. It takes a village to help get new voters engaged!I’m also working on #SomosMas, an upcoming campaign focused on engaging our community to unite and show that American #Latinx are stronger than those who stand against us. We are stronger than hate ✊🏽 #LatinxVote #midterms2018 #SomosMas #sisepuede#casetakeover

Hi all! I’m #MariaTeresaKumar from @votolatino and I am doing a #casetakeover and joining you today to give you access to my day. I’ve been working over a decade to empower #latinx #milennials and every day I’m inspired by the power of change that exists in our community. I founded @votolatino with @rosariodawson because I truly believe that young #Latinx have the power to create a stronger and more inclusive democracy. L At @votolatino, we are fundamentally aware that young #Latinx are the new builders and makers in this country. But to reach that potential, there has to be some level of access and opportunity. This is why @votolatino exists: to provide a roadmap for young #Latinx to become leaders, educators, entrepreneurs, and really anything else they deem possible.
