** The Power of Solidarity
------------------------------------------------------------

July 28, 2025

One of the most important words in movement and organizing spaces is solidarity. In today’s world, it can show up in a number of ways, from uplifting voices to providing financial relief, and many more. This week, we look at the power of solidarity and some of the ways it shows up in organizations and movement spaces:
* An Analysis ([link removed]) —Mining is an environmental crisis across the United States. But in Arizona, it threatens Native American communities.

* On the Ground ([link removed]) —A look at how nonprofits can support those facing medical debt.

* An Explainer ([link removed]) —What the attacks on journalists mean for civil society and the role of nonprofits in US democracy.

* A Deep Dive ([link removed]) —What needs to be done to ensure that the definition of “we” is expanded to include those who have historically been excluded.

The power of the people is strong, especially when we come together.

Thanks for reading,

Rebekah Barber,
