✨ 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.

Workplace challenges strongly shape leadership aspirations—especially for BIPOC nonprofit staff. Limited wellness supports, heavy DEI burdens, and few advancement paths fuel higher aspirations. Share your experience: take the Race to Lead Survey. bit.ly/RaceToLead2025

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.

The top features logos for the Race to Lead Survey and the Building Movement Project. The bottom corner includes the hashtag #RaceToLead2025 and three arrow icons in green, purple, and gold.
