Race + Power Weekly

In today’s Race + Power newsletter, we look at persistent inequities across sectors—and what nonprofits are doing to confront them. First, our current political moment calls on Black Americans, in particular, to rise up and fight for a future grounded in justice, not betrayal. Next, recent policy changes threaten to unravel decades of progress toward healthcare equity and accessibility. Are these shifts simply the latest iteration of a familiar cycle—or do they signal a deeper erosion of the nation’s healthcare infrastructure? Then, as civil rights protections are increasingly undermined, nonprofits are confronting a difficult question: How do they remain faithful to their missions when the legal system designed to protect their work is being turned against them? Finally, mounting government backlash to DEI principles and programming presents a clear and present danger to the sector. Our April premium webinar offers nonprofit and philanthropic leaders the chance to assess organizational risk and get actionable guidance on safeguarding their work while remaining committed to justice.
