As the Trump administration prepares to take office, nonprofit organizations face growing concerns about their ability to operate. We're facing a direct threat to our communities and the people we serve. The incoming Trump administration represents an unprecedented challenge to immigrant rights, civil liberties, and the core values of our work. This isn't business as usual - we need to act now to protect our people, strengthen our organizations, and build collective resistance. This intensive workshop brings together nonprofit leaders to move beyond fear into action. Together, we'll create concrete protection plans for our communities, develop rapid response protocols for our organizations, and build the strong networks we need for the fight ahead. This is a space for honest conversation, strategic planning, and building collective power in the face of what's coming.
