Dr. King’s fight for justice wasn’t just about #CivilRights, it was also about economic security. In his final days, he stood with striking workers, demanding fair wages and calling out the systems that keep Black communities economically deprived. Decades later, the fight continues. 🔴 52% of Americans struggle to meet basic needs. 🔴 For Black Americans, that number jumps to 67%. 🔴 For Latinos, it’s 71%. 🔴 For single-parent families, 80%. Economic security isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. As former Philly Mayor Michael A. Nutter shared at our recent event, true freedom is impossible without it. Today, we honor Dr. King’s legacy by advancing his fight for #EconomicSecurity. Our TCES measure has the potential to transform how our nation approaches economic well-being—moving beyond basic needs to offer a clearer, more holistic view of financial security.

@natlcouncilnonprofits of recognizes these are uncertain times and that many nonprofits rely on federal funding for their programs. We will be providing additional information as we learn more about the impact of the Administration’s actions on federal grants and contracts. ➡️ Swipe for initial steps that #nonprofits should engage in when they learn that their federal grant or contract is terminated by a federal agency. While the full steps that should be taken, and the rules that apply, will be specific to your grant or contract and the specific federal agency that provided the funding, this checklist will provide a strong basis for next steps and understanding your rights. #grants #federalfunding #federalgrants (fb)
