Race + Power Weekly

In today’s Race + Power newsletter, we offer a call for unity across the nonprofit sector—and strategies to fight back against an illiberal regime. First, a philanthropy coalition launches a solidarity sign-on campaign to defend the freedom to support our essential nonprofit sector. Next, these are not normal times for nonprofits and movements. But these times also provide an opportunity to recommit to mission and advance the values that we hold dear. Then, as the Trump administration pushes to axe federal workers and roll back union rights, the need for solidarity between nonprofit and federal workers is critical. Finally, government backlash to DEI principles and programming is a clear and present concern for the sector. Our April premium webinar offers nonprofit and philanthropic leaders the opportunity to assess organizational risk, consider a range of responses to the attacks on DEI, and get actionable guidance on how to protect your organization and remain committed to justice.

The Backlash to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI): How Justice-Committed Organizations Can Respond Now

 
As the Trump administration continues its assault on DEI principles, programs, and funding, nonprofit and philanthropic leaders face critical risk assessments. Should we consider changes to how we design and communicate our work? Should we stay the course?

Join us on Thursday, April 24 at 2:00 pm ET for this essential discussion, and take advantage of our early bird special until April 18! Register here...
