There’s an existential conversation happening behind closed doors at human services nonprofits and agencies across the country:

Will the federal government continue to be a reliable partner in meeting the needs of our most vulnerable neighbors?

What will happen to the communities we serve if the government turns its back on them?

Does our commitment to anti-racism and social justice – so critical to understanding the challenges we face – also put a target on our backs?

What will we do if we’re forced to choose between our commitment to our values and our ability to provide critical services to our community?

This October, Solid Ground is opening up this conversation. In this panel and Q&A moderated by Naomi Ishisaka of The Seattle Times, we’ll explore what the future holds for our safety net organizations with local leaders in human services and social justice, including:

  • Rhonda Banchero, Downtown Emergency Service Center
  • Estela Ortega, El Centro de la Raza
  • Shalimar Gonzales, Solid Ground
  • Regina Malveaux, United Way of King County
