Philanthropy and Movement: United for Grassroots Resilience
Government attacks on frontline communities and environmental defenders are not new, but with rising authoritarianism, the tools that the federal government can use to target, intimidate, and silence frontline communities and organizers will increase.
Join Community Justice Exchange, Kataly Foundation, One Project, PODER, and Climate Justice Alliance for an inspiring panel on the ways philanthropy and movement can build power amidst the current political climate. This session will highlight the current attacks on movement groups and foundations, key legislative rulings' effects on movement groups and foundations, and actionable steps that funders and organizers can take to protect our movements for justice and continue to fight despite the challenging environment.
Co-organized by CS Fund and Climate Justice Alliance.
Panelists:
Jidan Terry-Koon: Head of Ecosystem Engagement at One Project
KD Chavez: Executive Director at Climate Justice Alliance
Michelle Mascarenhas: Senior Program Officer, Environmental Justice Resourcing Collective at Kataly Foundation
Pilar Weiss: Executive Director at Community Justice Exchange
Tere Almaguer: Environmental Justice Organizer at PODER
