People Powered Summer: The Power of the People to Protest
After the Summer of Racial Uprisings in 2020, leading into a pivotal election, conservative state legislatures are “cracking down” on protestors' rights under the veil of safety. It is not lost on us that much of the protesting that happened in 2020 was for and by Black and Brown people. These laws are retaliatory and infringe on our First Amendment rights as Americans.
re:power invites you to a 90-minute panel discussion around the anti-protest legislation that has passed in several states. We will hear from organizers and policy advocates on how we can continue our important work despite these laws taking effect.
LEADING WHILE BLACK
Yesterday marked one year since George Floyd was murdered by the police.
re:power Executive Director Karundi Williams used this solemn occasion to reflect on what Black leadership looks and feels like in a world where Black bodies are constantly under attack. Read her piece in the Philanthropy News Digest.
