Join Dr. Rachel Kleinfeld, Senior Fellow, Democracy, Conflict, and Governance Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and CASE CEO Sue Cunningham for a discussion on navigating the fraught current environment.

Dr. Kleinfeld has written extensively on the role of civil society organizations around the world, and the impact the current political turmoil is having on them. In the US, she sees this impact as a result of the growing political divide. In other countries, governments are shutting down nonprofits on ideological grounds. This opening session will set important context and explore how philanthropists and our institutions can continue to support civil society despite the current unrest and division we face.
