Thoughts from my day job, if you're interested....
Despite all the uncertainties, joining @lyft was one of the easiest and best decisions I ever made.
Here's my first CEO letter-- all about leading with purpose, obsessing over customers, growing the company and turning uncertainty into action.

Thrilled that @DemocracyFund has added matching funds to #HalfMyDaf to strengthen democracy. $2.1M in total matching funds now available for anyone who agrees to spend down their DAF by half.

We’re excited to announce that @Amalgamated_Fdn and Democracy Fund are collaborating on the #HalfMyDAF campaign by creating a new $500,000 democracy funding pool that will match the first $10,000 donated to a pro-democracy organization. democracyfund.org/idea/mobil…

US has a culture of philanthropy that's truly unique. A high % of America's wealthiest intend to donate substantial portions of their wealth rather than pass it all to heirs. I just wish that those with that intent wouldn't wait until death to get aggressive with their giving.

"A quarter-trillion dollars sitting in 'charitable' investment accounts is a tragic waste and won’t do a damned thing to fix anything."
@Al_Cantor pulls no punches with a great piece about all the parties that have an interest in blocking DAF reform:

Aargh.
DAFs serve a function. They’re easy to use & for-sure help people give.
But when DAF sponsors misdirect, they remind us that they encourage hoarding, not giving.
Visit Halfmydaf.com to give your DAF grants a chance to be matched. $6M in matches & counting!
Schwab Charitable loves to tout the dollar value of their donor-advised fund grants. But check out the growth in their assets compared to their grants. Wonder why we call it hoarding?

@GivingUSA was released this Tuesday, and the numbers are scary.
US giving has long been propped up by mega-donors. And this growing dependence on the wealthy has weakened our charities. For @Inequalityorg, I ask if the chickens have come home to roost. inequality.org/great-divide/…

This is true. Goes for non-young people too.
