As a new elected leadership – mayoral team and City Council – is sworn into City Hall, we are offered a unique opportunity to reflect on how philanthropy leverages its collective power to inform critical issues that will shape the future of NYC. In this moment, philanthropy can leverage its power to amplify the experiential knowledge of advocates, organizers, and nonprofit leaders on the ground to shape and inform city policies, together.
Join us for a discussion with advocates, organizers, and nonprofit leaders on how this administration affects their organizational work toward lasting change within our criminal legal and policing systems; what the administration means for movement toward criminal legal and policing reform/transformation in NYC, more broadly; and how philanthropy can respond responsibly.
