11am - 12pm MT

From the beginning of the second Trump administration, it was clear that its leaders intended to overwhelm society by attacking communities, democratic norms, and the Constitution with such velocity, severity, and regularity that it would be difficult for individuals and institutions to register, categorize, and respond to each assault. 

In GCIR’s upcoming report, "Lessons for Year 1: How America Responded to Trump 2.0 and Philanthropy's Duty to Act," we cut through the noise and articulate the primary themes that have animated the regime’s anti-immigrant agenda over the last year and – critically – how communities and nonprofits have successfully pushed back. We also share concrete recommendations on how philanthropic resources can be deployed to both mitigate community harm and undergird civil society efforts.

We invite you to join GCIR President Marissa Tirona in an armchair conversation with Kevin Douglas, GCIR's Senior Director of National Programs, and Kathryn Snyder, Esq., Director of Movement Partnerships with the Women Donors Network, who will reflect on the role philanthropy has played in the first year of Trump 2.0. In this discussion, we’ll explore the report’s key takeaways and how funders have sought to move in coordination to defend movement organizations and communities while also building toward the future.

Please register for this program by 6 p.m. MT on Tuesday, April 28.
