Let’s take a moment to honor and celebrate the rich tapestry of Black history and its profound impact on our world. From trailblazers in science and technology to artists who have reshaped our cultural landscape, the contributions of Black individuals are both vast and vital.
As we reflect on the past, let’s also commit to fostering inclusivity and equity in our workplaces and communities. Together, we can create a future that honors and uplifts all.

As threats against movement leaders and organizations grow in the areas of funding, digital, physical, legal, and legislative attacks—it’s critical to ground ourselves and strategize.
Drawing from Building Movement Project’s latest report in our Movement Infrastructure series, Sounding the Alarm: Nonprofits on the Frontlines of a Polarized Political Climate, this webinar will contextualize these challenges within the long history of movement repression in the U.S., highlight strategies of resistance, and issue a call to funders to stand in long-term solidarity with frontline communities.
Panelists:
Shelby Chestnut, Executive Director, Transgender Law Center
Rachel Leonidas, Director of Communications and Engagement, ProInspire
Darakshan Raja, Founding Executive Director, Muslims for Just Futures
