Fortifying the Frontlines Webinar #1
Across the country, authoritarian and anti-democratic forces are escalating coordinated attacks on social justice movements—from surveillance, criminalizing protest, and suppressing dissent to worsening weaponization and militarization of ICE. This session will ground funders in the reality of the current threat landscape, with insights from movement leaders and movement-aligned funders navigating repression in real time.
Participants will gain a clear understanding of what is at stake, how threats vary across states and communities, and what it will take for philanthropy to fund bold work safely.
Panelists: Deborah Barron, Co-Executive Director, TCS/NLA (Moderator) Le Tim Ly, Resilient Strategies Tynesha McHarris, Black Feminist Fund Darakshan Raja, Muslims for Just Futures
