The Trump administration has joined a lawsuit attempting to stop a first-of-its-kind reparations plan that would compensate Black residents of a Chicago suburb, arguing that its race-based criteria are unconstitutional.
This webinar brought together researchers, practitioners, and funders to make the case for rigorous documentation of the economic harms resulting from so-called immigration enforcement — and why building that evidence base now matters for future litigation, policy change, and repair.

Why have so many people in the Americas made the perilous migration journey to the United States, especially in recent years? Why have migration patterns in the Western Hemisphere shifted over the years, and why are migrants from some countries treated differently than others? How are the policies and practices of the U.S. connected to the reasons people in the region have moved over time?

What does it mean to be an American? How has the United States defined citizenship over time? To explore these critical questions, GCIR has developed a timeline, “Who Gets to Be an American,” which provides in-depth information on the evolution of American citizenship and how the United States has determined who belongs in this country and who does not.
We know that there is no single solution or panacea to building the infrastructure and muscle that has been glaringly lacking. However, we recognize the cost of inaction and continued underinvestment is having on our social movements and therefore offer a pathway to begin to address these rising, critical threats.
As advocates for inclusive democracy look at how to best respond to the latest waves of political prosecutions, and how best to inoculate movements against those attacks before they reach a fever pitch, it’s important to consider what confluence of factors may portend a forthcoming wave of legal repression.
Dissent is the lifeblood of democracy. Yet the government has used many tools to quell dissent, and to weaken efforts that call out injustice and demand systemic change. One such tool is political prosecution.
The weaponization of the criminal system against Americans pursuing an inclusive, representative democracy and seeking justice and equity is not new. From COINTELPRO and the Green Scare to the “war on terror” and the targeting of Muslim people and organizations, we have seen the tenor of this repression before.

This toolkit was created to help funders communicate with institutional leaders about the urgency of supporting immigrant communities in grantmaking. It acknowledges the challenges funders face in making the case and emphasizes that investing in immigrant-led and immigrant-centered organizations can advance foundations’ strategic priorities, even when those priorities are not directly tied to immigration.
In this video, Wesley Morris sits down with Nikole Hannah-Jones, creator of The 1619 Project, to trace the project’s journey from publication to this moment — when Trump has returned to power on a message that explicitly rejected its premise.
This toolkit offers a road map to respond to the threat posed by Project 2025 to equitable, democratic and accountable public institutions, particularly our federal agencies, as well as longer-term strategies for turning public administration into a force for equity and justice.

Developed in collaboration with Dr. Joan Donovan, this tool can help you sharpen your strategy and decide whether to intervene in disinformation that acts as a barrier to winning your campaign. It is designed for micro-landscape, campaign-based intervention with targeted audiences and is distinct from larger narrative intervention among broad audiences.
This exercise is intended to help create more compelling narratives to communicate grassroots campaigns. The Battle of the Story is a framework for applying a “narrative power analysis” to an issue — whether it’s the story that specific power holders are telling about the issue, or just the accepted status quo that we are campaigning to change.
