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

Greetings, readers!

For this week’s Leadership newsletter, we examine the ways nonprofit and philanthropic organizations can best prepare for today’s unpredictable legal and political climate.

First, a new NPQ series on liberatory leadership as a practice begins with an introduction to the framework ([link removed]) . Next, as the Trump administration continues to assert political control over higher education, advocates consider how these tactics may be used against other nonprofit organizations—and what to do about it ([link removed]) . Then, in a conversation with NPQ, Kristin Powell discusses how Black Futures Lab organizes rural Black communities ([link removed]) through long-term deep canvassing. Finally, a recent Supreme Court ruling didn’t just reject a lawsuit—it redrew the map for how nonprofits can challenge actions of the federal government, making a major statement about who is allowed to bring such cases to court
([link removed]) .

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