The 2020 fallout from racial justice movements is unique; conservatives have gained traction, empowered by a right-leaning judiciary, looking to not just defund but further delegitimize racial equity efforts.

As we approach 2024, Black nonprofits report a retreat from funders, who are either cutting racial equity grants or diluting their commitment to Blackness and anti-racism.

Without significant funding and sustained public interest in racial equity, the movement risks being marginalized and facing a formidable combination of right-wing opposition and legal challenges.
