✨ NEW on the Solidarity Is This podcast - we explore the challenging terrain of movement conflict with co-host Adaku Utah and Tamika Middleton (Women's March), Mike Ishii (Tsuru for Solidarity) and Mónica Enríquez-Enríquez (Foundation for a Just Society).
Graphic illustration for the Building Movement Project by Onibaba Studio, depicting a quote from the State of Solidarity conversation in fall 2025, on the topic of Solidarity Through Conflict - Navigating Internal Movement Tensions. The handwritten text is a quote from Adaku Utah, facilitator and staff at BMP: "The ground under us continues to be unsteady, amidst all of that, we are still here. Conflict is not a sign that we're failing, it's a part of the living fabric of collective struggle!" The quote is set against an illustration in shades of deep and light purple, showing building silhouettes and green trees. There are individuals of varying ages, sizes, racial backgrounds, and abilities, who are facing each other and holding a green thread that connects them all, despite the fissures on the ground where they stand.

@buildingmovement.bsky.social's Race to Lead reports make the invisible visible on race and leadership in the nonprofit sector. "‘Invisible labor’ adds to the burden of BIPOC frontline nonprofit workers.” #racetoleadat10 #buildingmovementproject #protectthenonprofitsector

Disability Justice means more than checkboxes.
If you work at a nonprofit and live with a disability–visible or not–your story matters.

Take the Race to Lead survey and show what access and leadership really look like.

📢 Tired of glass ceilings, glass cliffs and performative equity? This is your moment. The Race to Lead survey uplifts BIPOC voices to confront what’s real in nonprofit workplaces and push for change.

🎧 NEW episode of the Solidarity Is This podcast! Our ED @janishazel77.bsky.social talks with Charles Long at @movment4blcklives.bsky.social on the importance of trusting Black leadership, the role of philanthropy, and the necessity of community and rest at this time.
A graphic showing a Q&A between Janis Rosheuvel from the Building Movement Project and Charles Long from the Movement for Black Lives. This is an excerpt from the August 2025 episode of the Solidarity Is This podcast. Janis asks: "What are some tools for how we need to be doing solidarity right now, particularly given just the threats and also the real division that's being sown across our movements?" Charles responds: 'Trust Black leadership. When Black people win power, win change in our society, that change will benefit all other folks who find themselves vulnerable to that system."
