Solidarity Lessons from a year of crisis and change

Solidarity Lessons from a Year of Crisis and change

Solidarity Lessons from a Year of Crisis and Change is part of BMP’s Movement Infrastructure Series, which offers ideas, approaches, and practices to strengthen individual organizations and broader social movement ecosystems. This brief builds on Movement Lessons from the First 100 Days to offer a deeper look at how the nonprofit sector is navigating a prolonged period of constraint and contestation.

First 100 Days Brief

Movement Lessons from the First 100 Days

Many of the recommendations in this brief, the latest in BMP’s movement infrastructure series, emerged from conversations and inquiries that arose in BMP’s work with nonprofit organizations, working groups, and networks before and during the first 100 days of the new administration. Through a series of interviews, a survey of the sector, and weekly field meetings with grassroots and national organizations, BMP captured a glimpse of how organizations around the country grapple with a range of multi-layered consequences. The organizations that we supported and engaged during the first 100 days included social service providers that provide immigration services, support for survivors of gender-based violence, and homelessness prevention and mental health, as well as advocacy, organizing, and movement groups that advocate for policy demands from specific communities.

Sounding the Alarm: Nonprofits on the Frontlines of a Polarized Political Climate

Nonprofits are facing a range of unique threats and challenges in today’s political climate. As the 2024 elections near, BMP is releasing a special report, Sounding the Alarm, to raise awareness about the negative consequences being experienced by nonprofits working on issues at play in this election – diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI); immigrant rights; abortion access; LGBTQIA+ rights; and expressions of support on current issues such as Palestinian rights.
