If you're taking to the streets to protest today, know your rights.
"KNOW YOUR PROTEST RIGHTS
You don’t need a permit to protest in response to breaking news and you don’t need a permit to march in the streets or along sidewalks, as long as you’re not obstructing traffic or access to buildings.
When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the police.
If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries.
If you get stopped by the police, ask if you’re free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away.
If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don’t sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present.
If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement office at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that you’ll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney — no matter your citizenship or immigration status."

1 in 5 nonprofits that are government grantees would have to close their doors after 3 months if their federal funding stops. That means they would stop providing valuable services to their communities. Learn more: blog.candid.org/post/how-lon...
20% of government grantees would run out of cash in 3 months if their funding ends.

If you're protesting this weekend, know your rights when interacting with law enforcement, including immigration agents.

On Friday, Anthony Romero from the @aclu.org talked to @wnyc.org about where we’re going (if we’re not there already) and what we’re going to have to do next. www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/tny... #clientcoincidences

A dizzying flow of executive orders and memos has led to confusion and anxiety for nonprofits. Let's cut through the noise and focus on facts that show the real impact of nonprofits (and what happens if they cease to exist).

Why the social sector is vital to healthy, thriving communities | Candid insights
Get the facts on public charities, which make up a majority of NGOs—a broad umbrella term that was the subject of a recent White House memo—and what they do, who works at them, and how they're funded.

It’s #GivingTuesday. But any day is a good day to try to make things better, especially these days. May we suggest supporting these fine nonprofit organizations we’ve been fortunate to work with? #makingthingsbetter [1 of 12]
