"Dear Ask a Nonprofit Expert, We've had to pivot in a myriad of ways given the current political climate. Can you share tips and suggestions on how we can remain committed to discussions and practices related to social justice and advocacy? Sincerely, Justice-Committed Reader Dear Justice-Committed Reader, Your question resonates deeply, and I know it is on the minds of many nonprofit leaders today."
"Justice-rooted organizations, especially those led by BIPOC, immigrant, LGBTQ+, and other historically marginalized communities, face the greatest risk. With limited resources and thinner margins of safety, some are already experiencing burnout, targeting, and even dissolution. Leaders are walking a tightrope of staying true to their values and protecting their organizations from being publicly attacked or defunded."
Nonprofit leaders must navigate a volatile political climate while remaining committed to social justice and advocacy. Justice-rooted organizations led by BIPOC, immigrant, LGBTQ+, and other marginalized communities face elevated risk due to limited resources, thin margins of safety, and increased targeting that can cause burnout or dissolution. Leaders must balance staying true to organizational values with protecting their organizations from public attack or defunding. A spectrum of sector responses exists, and practical suggestions emphasize regular practices, strategic risk assessment, community support, and resilience-building to sustain advocacy work without sacrificing organizational viability.
