As the results of the 2024 presidential election come into focus, now is the time to share and advance strategies for leveraging our resources and positional power to protect immigrants, refugees, and their families from the threats to come. Join GCIR, movement organizations, and funders for a post-election debrief and discussion about this new reality, the strategies that are already being put into place, and how philanthropy can act quickly, powerfully, and decisively to support those efforts while keeping an eye on the long game of building a multiracial and inclusive democracy.
For the second year in a row, Grantmakers Concerned with Immigrants and Refugees led a delegation to the nation’s capital to meet directly with policy-makers and discuss the most pressing immigration issues of our time.
As our nation braces for an incoming presidential administration that poses an unprecedented threat to our nation and to our immigrant communities, GCIR remains steadfast in our commitment to advancing justice and belonging for all. Though this moment portends a volatile and difficult road ahead for the immigrant and refugee communities that have been relentlessly denigrated throughout this election cycle, we know that the philanthropic sector holds significant resources and positional power that must be leveraged now in defense and protection of communities under attack.
