In a year in which immigrants have been openly and regularly denigrated for cynical partisan purposes, the 2024 election has immigrants and their families understandably worried. The rising threat of authoritarianism and white nationalism – and the attendant political violence, hate crimes and regressive policies – have compelled community leaders to plan for their futures under any election scenario. Down-ballot races will also have a significant influence on the opportunities and threats that emerge at all levels of government.

Please join Forefront, Grantmakers Concerned with Immigrants and Refugees (GCIR), movement organizations, and funders for a post-election debrief and discussion about these new realities, what strategies are already being put into play, and how philanthropy can align its grantmaking to support those efforts while keeping an eye on the long game of building a multiracial and inclusive democracy.
