While those executive orders don’t change existing federal law\, they send a strong signal about the near-term political context for DEI programs. Organizations are reassessing their approaches in real time\, with some publicly announcing rollbacks and others defending their efforts. The environment is marked by uncertainty and concern. \nWe invite you to join NationSwell for a virtual leader brain trust on navigating this critical moment. Together\, we’ll check in on the latest developments in DEI\, explore the challenges and opportunities of this new reality\, and discuss strategies to protect and evolve your initiatives.

The biography not only follows King’s journey from the pulpit to the streets of Birmingham\, Selma\, and Memphis but also delves into his private struggles\, familial relationships\, and the intense government repression he endured. King’s commitment to fighting for racial and economic justice\, even at the cost of his life\, emerges as a deeply humanizing story of personal and social transformation. \nJoin us on November 19th in New York City for a conversation among Jonathan Eig\, Dr. Carmen Rojas\, and Dr. Darrick Hamilton on the intricate dynamics of King’s leadership and legacy in today’s political context. Together\, we will reflect on how King’s critique of racism\, economic exploitation\, and militarism continues to inform contemporary movements for freedom and explore how King’s understanding of justice can inspire a better vision for how we build economic and social policy today. \n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n AGENDA\n \n \n \n \n \n 6:00 pmDoors Open and Light Refreshments \n7:00 pmPanel Begins \n8:15 pmPanel Concludes \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 Location\n \n \n \n \n \n The Altman Building135 W 18th StreetNew York\, NY 10011 \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 \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 \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Learn more about MCF Book Club\n \n \n \n \n \n Once a month the MCF Book Club shares the ideas of leaders who encourage us to imagine how we can radically transform our democracy\, economy\, and society.
