Protecting Race-Explicit Programming Series: Advancing Collective Actions Within an Anti-DEIA Climate

In the face of an onslaught of executive actions aimed at dismantling core civil rights and DEIA efforts, this is the time for philanthropy to be brave, steadfast, and resilient. Join us for the last session of AAPIP’s three-part Learning Series: Protecting Race-Explicit Programming, where we will share the work of the Racial Equity Advancement and Defense Initiative (READI), a collaborative led by ABFE, AAPIP, HIP, and NAP to promote, expand, and defend race-explicit grantmaking. We will engage in a conversation about how we can meet this moment, including leveraging our collective power to protect race-conscious programs, sharing resources to help organizations right-size their legal risk, and raising awareness about the dangers of shying away from strategies that seek to address systemic racism. Come learn how we can transform personal convictions into tangible actions to support an infrastructure within philanthropy and beyond so that all of our communities are safe and can thrive.

• Erik Stegman, CEO of Native Americans in Philanthropy
