“This is not the America we want to live in. We value our neighbors who are different.”

ERA Board member Hanna Hurst and YWCA Alaska CEO Jessie Lavoie discuss how the Trump Administration’s nonprofit funding cuts are concretely impacting kids and families in Alaska. From after-school programs, to mental health support, anti-racism initiatives, and sexual harassment trainings, they share how federal attacks on DEI are directly harming their communities.

They also delve into how communities are fighting back, and what gives them hope for our country’s future.
