We are well past the point of diagnosing these inbound threats — now is the time for solutions\, and we’ve heard from members that you’re very keen to engage.  \nThere is great work already being done on the ground to safeguard our institutions and democratic norms: grassroots efforts to support free and fair voting\, campaigns to reduce partisan animosity\, and programs dedicated to fortifying internet access for communities in need. But more work is needed — particularly ahead of a high-stakes election year that holds great potential to divide us anew.  \nTo that end\, please join us for a special pop-up event where we’ll discuss what to expect in the upcoming 2024 election and how we can better prepare ourselves to face these renewed threats to democracy. This will be the first in a series of events we’ll hold as we look ahead to and anticipate the political events 2024 has in store. \nTogether with Ian Bassin — a co-founder and the executive director of Protect Democracy and a former associate White House counsel — and a fantastic group of experts\, we’ll hear from those on the forefront of what’s already happening; explore the solutions that are already working; examine the persistent pain points; and discuss how we can best show up in the spirit of openness\, compassion\, and diligence a thriving democracy requires. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n NationSwell’s events and experiences are designed to bring together diverse\, purpose-driven leaders and organizations for learning\, inspiration\, relationship-building\, and societal impact.

We are in an opportune moment to accelerate progress with the current focus on increasing protections for DEIB programs.  \nThe vision of a diverse\, thriving\, and equitable workforce will only be realized if talent of color and first generation college students have the resources and support they need not only to secure employment\, but to retain and progress within their roles.  \nJoin us for a conversation on how to prepare institutions to be ready for a new labor market with a focus on DEIB. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Featured Participants\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The Opportunity Network has created an initiative called Opportunity Ignited\, through which they work with employers to learn\, design\, and build inclusive workplaces that will retain talent of color and center DEIB throughout the hiring and career development process. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n NationSwell’s events and experiences are designed to bring together diverse\, purpose-driven leaders and organizations for learning\, inspiration\, relationship-building\, and societal impact.

And\, what are the ways in which leaders and organizations can go on the offense to not only push back against today’s threats but to stake an even bolder future for justice and equity in the U.S.? \nJoin NationSwell and fellow members for breakfast and a facilitated discussion during which we will isolate the most critical and solvable challenges\, surface our biggest learnings and recommendations\, and think aloud in draft mode about what we can do to prepare for the road ahead. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n NationSwell’s events and experiences are designed to bring together diverse\, purpose-driven leaders and organizations for learning\, inspiration\, relationship-building\, and societal impact.

In this session\, our team will share insights from the first year\, highlighting places that employers & funders can make a difference. In addition\, the team will discuss the next steps for the Collaborative in the new year & how you can get involved. \nFor context: The COVID-19 pandemic and its effects have had profound implications for women in the workforce – millions of women left the workplace in 2020 and over 2 million women have still not returned\, many due to the lack of affordable and accessible childcare. The implications of this social and economic issue have exposed a few key dynamics: (1) the US has a broken care system that has disproportionately affected working families\, especially BIPOC women\, and frontline workers (2) women\, in particular\, mothers\, tend to bear the brunt of unpaid caregiving responsibilities\, and (3) the economic consequences of this workforce exodus not only affects families and individual households\, but business growth and the U.S. economy suffer overall\, too.  \nIn partnership with American Family Insurance Institute for Corporate and Social Impact\, Annie E. Casey Foundation\, National Domestic Workers Alliance\, Pivotal Ventures\, and Working for Women\, our Case for Childcare Collaborative has spent the last year engaging in research to understand the widespread challenges and opportunities when it comes to making the business case for childcare and the economic impact at large\, while also seeking out solutions and examples of what is working. We believe employers have an important role to play in the child care movement. We are thrilled to continue this work for a second year\, doubling down our efforts on employers of frontline\, low-wage\, and gig workers. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n NationSwell’s events and experiences are designed to bring together diverse\, purpose-driven leaders and organizations for learning\, inspiration\, relationship-building\, and societal impact.

How can we muster the courage\, resources\, and collective will to confront the nation’s most pressing challenges? What does it mean to be an equitable leader? How can we effectively unite diverse voices and forge coalitions? What steps can we all take to not just envision\, but also build\, a more equitable America?” \nLight bites and refreshments will be provided. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Featured Participant\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Joel R.
