Help NGOs Now! (Part 4)
Editor’s Note: My son remarked to me that we seem to be publishing the Instigator more frequently than usual these days. I assured him this was a temporary but intentional move. We knew with the new administration and congress taking office, it would likely be a tougher but more important time than ever for NGOs. We wanted to do something to help ensure NGOs’ continued success. Today culminates our special series. We hope it will encourage you to take action. As you will see below, the time is now. It’s never been more urgent.
It’s only been a week and already it feels like a tsunami is upon us. The new administration has taken action or announced plans to weaken or eliminate many initiatives that we view as absolutely critical, ranging from ones designed to protect the environment to those that support the most vulnerable among us. And the administration is not stopping with their own mandates. They are also pressuring private corporations and institutions of higher education to fall in line.
It’s natural to feel swept up and discouraged in the face of such a strong current.
But there is something you can do: Engage with NGOs right now.
