As lawmakers and politicians across the country seek to rob trans youth and their families of their rights, how do we respond to this political moment with a better understanding
As lawmakers and politicians across the country seek to rob trans youth and their families of their rights, how do we respond to this political moment with a better understanding of how these attacks are part of right wing political strategies spanning at least the last four decades? How has philanthropy’s own historical patterns of investing in and failing to invest in LGBTQ and wider social justice organizing in these regions impacted movement efforts–for good and bad? How can we use this insight to support critical strategies for long-term organizing?
Join us to hear from Southern-based movement organizations that are responding to this political climate with clarity about the historical patterns of discrimination and violence that have brought us here. Our speakers will share how Southern movement organizations are responding to the urgency of the moment, while continuing to nurture the infrastructure we need for long-haul work to build political power. Join us to learn how funders can adapt their funding strategies to cause less harm and move resources in ways that are more responsive to movement efforts.
