Organizing & Movement Building
GCIR joins our philanthropic partners in condemning the administration’s stated intent to undermine the organizations that do the essential work of protecting and caring for our communities. This impending attack on nonprofits is an obvious extension of the assault we are seeing on law firms, universities, diversity initiatives, and others - a clear attempt to dismantle civil society institution by institution.
