The rise in political violence--both in-person and online--is dramatically changing the way nonprofit and philanthropic organizations define and prioritize safety and security. Leaders can no longer defer critical decisions about how to protect their people, their data, and their organizations.

NPQ is pleased to bring the field a timely discussion of safety and security practices and policies. Panelists will address threats and protective measures around:

• Organizational targeting by issue areas like immigration and LGBTQIA+ rights

• Data security

• The personal safety of staff and board online

• The personal safety of staff and board in-person

We invite people from across the sector to come together and learn how to protect ourselves and our organizations in our unwavering commitment to work that advances equity and justice.

Panelists: 

Janis Rosheuvel, Executive Director, Building Movement Project

Amy Sample Ward, CEO, NTEN

Diego González-Medina, Founding Executive Director, Liminal Works

Teisha J. Garrett, Managing Director, Democracy Security Project

Jeanne Bell, Moderator
