This Thurs, September 26th: "Playing to Win: How Nonprofits Add 501c4's to Expand their Movement Impact"! In today's highly challenging political climate with key civil rights under attack, nonprofit 501c3s are exploring all of their options for effective advocacy. One option is adding a 501c4 organization, which allows organizations to engage in some political and lobbying activities related to their mission. What does it look like to manage a c3 and a c4 organization effectively? What can we learn from leaders doing it now? Join the conversation with expert panelists: Natalie Roetzel Ossenfort, Program Director of Bolder Advocacy, Alliance for Justice; Juanita Lewis, Executive Director of Community Voices Heard; and Quanita Toffie, Executive Director at Groundswell Action Fund https://lnkd.in/gYMnHKfe

Join us on Thursday, August 15 at 2 pm ET for a conversation with Stephen B. Bright, current Yale and Georgetown Law professor and former director of the Southern Center for Human Rights, and James Kwak, immediate past chair of the Southern Center for Human Rights, authors of The Fear of Too Much Justice: Race, Poverty, and the Persistence of Inequality in the Criminal Courts, as they discuss their book and the future of justice in America. Bright and Kwak argue that the fear of doing justice has led to misguided policies and Supreme Court decisions that undermine equal justice under the law. Moderated by Alliance for Justice's Rebecca Buckwalter-Poza, don't miss this chance to engage with leading voices in social justice and legal scholarship. Since our country’s establishment, the criminal justice system has disproportionately targeted marginalized communities and contributed to the rise of mass incarceration. The root cause of this problem is the fear of “too much justice,” fueled by the system’s obsession with retribution, which has resulted in the erosion of due process protections, the criminalization of poverty and mental illness, and the perpetuation of racial and socioeconomic disparities. Recent Supreme Court decisions exemplify how concerns about "judicial activism" and overreach have led the Supreme Court to curtail various rights. These decisions demonstrate how the fear of "too much justice" can lead to a narrowing of protections and the corrosion of democratic principles, with long-term consequences for the integrity of American democracy. StreamYard webinars do not have automatic captioning, but the event will be streamed on LinkedIn, which has captions. The event will be recorded.
