In this episode, co-host Adaku Utah is in conversation with Dom Kelly of New Disabled South about what it means to build movements rooted in care, access, and interdependence.

In this episode of Solidarity Is This, co-hosts Adaku and Deepa explore the devastating impact of recent executive orders on nonprofits and how organizations are resisting defunding, criminalization, and state repression. They break down key threats, responses, and resources—including insights from the Building Movement Project’s latest resource—on how nonprofits can adapt, fight back, and prepare for the challenges ahead.

Building Movement Project's Executive Director Janis Rosheuvel and Adaku discuss the urgent challenges organizations and communities face in response to political instability, the importance of solidarity in sustaining movements, and how to balance immediate action with building long-term power.

As Trump's administration unleashes a wave of restrictive executive orders in January 2025, hosts Adaku Utah and Deepa Iyer spotlight innovative solidarity practices emerging across movements, from rapid response networks to bold models of community defenense and care.
