After his January 20th inauguration, President Trump signed dozens of Executive Orders (EOs) covering a broad range of issues, including diversity, equity, and inclusion programs; government grants and contracts; civic engagement; immigration; and certain nonprofit subsectors.
Some of the EOs won’t take effect immediately, and many are expected to be immediately challenged in court. This resource outlines some of the EOs that may affect nonprofits directly or indirectly.

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
