description
100 days into the second Trump administration, the scale of attacks on immigrants, refugees, BIPOC, LGBTQ, and other communities has been staggering. The wantonness with which executive orders have been deployed, combined with the rhetorical power of the office of the President, has led to the loss of lawful pathways to enter and remain in the United States, and has exacted a psychological toll on immigrants of all statuses.
We are also witnessing threats to the health, safety, and well-being of immigrants of all statuses – and even the targeting of U.S. citizens for detention and removal. Free speech, students, civil society, and the judiciary have all come under attack as scholars, policymakers, and human rights advocates warn of the nation’s dangerous and rapid lurch toward authoritarianism. As we've seen throughout history, this pattern of the narrowing of rights for some eventually leads to the narrowing of rights for all.
In this webinar, we’ll review some of the topline themes that animated the first 100 days of the Trump presidency and will explore how federal policy developments have played out in local and state contexts. This program will give funders the opportunity to learn how philanthropy can support efforts to defend immigrant rights and our multiracial democracy, building on the 100 day policy state-of-play GCIR will release in early May.
