** Leadership
------------------------------------------------------------

Greetings, readers!

For this week of the Leadership newsletter, we look at how nonprofit leaders are confronting legal and financial challenges—both for their organizations and for the communities they serve.

First, as civil rights protections are increasingly undermined, nonprofits are confronting a difficult question ([link removed]) : How do they remain faithful to their missions when the legal system designed to protect their work is being turned against them? Next, social change workers don’t always get to choose our battles. When Rudy Espinoza’s nonprofit got the opportunity to fight back against threats, they had to overcome their fears ([link removed]) . Then, the first article in a three-part series, Quiet Violence: How the Tax System Works Against Black Americans, investigates the nation’s tax system and how Black taxpayers face the economic violence of an unequal system ([link removed]) .

Finally, government backlash to DEI principles and programming is a clear and present concern for the sector. Our April premium webinar ([link removed]) offers nonprofit and philanthropic leaders the opportunity to assess organizational risk and get actionable guidance on how to protect your organization and remain committed to justice. This Thursday is the last chance to take advantage of early bird pricing.

As always, we welcome feedback. Please feel free to email us at [email protected] (mailto:[email protected]) .

As the Trump administration continues its assault on DEI principles, programs, and funding, nonprofit and philanthropic leaders face critical risk assessments.
