Resilient New York

Tishman Auditorium 66 West 12th Street, New York

Join North Star Fund and our partners on May 20 for Resilient New York, a forum to advance grassroots organizing as a key strategy to protect the dignity and rights of all New Yorkers. The event is a call to community members, organizers, donors, and grantmakers to unite around a proactive shared vision to support the grassroots for the next four years and beyond.

As the Trump administration escalates multi-front attacks on our communities, New York’s grassroots organizers bring decades of experience fighting against inequity and oppression. In this moment when communities are being targeted, we must sustain our commitment to longstanding campaigns and the Movement for Black Lives, while embracing new and emerging work.
