Debates featuring Susan B. Anthony

Ethics & Activism

Should I take "dirty" money? I work at a nonprofit fighting housing discrimination. We recently had a chance to partner with a large corporation that would fund our work for three years. The corporation has a reputation of being discriminatory, and, particularly, discriminatory against our community. Their CEO has made dismissive comments about our community in the past. Half my team says we should take the money and use it to help people who need it now. The other half says partnering with them legitimizes their image while they continue to practice discrimination. I'm the executive director and have to decide. The money would let us serve 500 more families. But I'd have to stand next to that CEO at a press conference and smile. When fighting for justice, how do you decide when to compromise and when to stand firm? Is it selling out if the money genuinely helps people? — Conflicted in Cleveland
