AAPIP Sips: Navigating Organizational Safety in the Current Landscape
January 15, 2026 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm EST

Coordinated attacks against nonprofit and philanthropic organizations follow predictable patterns. Understanding the response frameworks strengthens your organization’s safety and resilience.
A virtual conversation for AAPIP members on organizational security across digital, physical, legal, and narrative domains.
Organizations serving Black, Indigenous, and POC communities face escalating coordinated attacks: hacking, doxing, physical intimidation, lawsuits, congressional inquiries, and rapid media amplification. These tactics drain resources, disrupt essential work, and drive staff departures. They serve a tested global strategy to shrink civic space by isolating organizations and fracturing civil society.
This session provides practical frameworks to assess where your organization sits on the response spectrum and what actions to take now.
