We Will Not Waver

No matter the election results or the winning candidate, one thing is certain: the work of collaboration and racial justice will define our future.

After a long and intense period of division and disconnection, we will climb out of the mire and isolation to keep fighting. We cannot rely on any party or candidate—even those we support—to fully solve our problems or meet our needs. It will be our vision, ideas, and collaborative actions after the election that reshape the direction of our country and set a path forward.

We know that racial justice is a driving force for the humane treatment of all people and that our collective efforts for social change have always paved the way for a better America. At IISC, we’re committed to equipping leaders and communities with the tools for facilitative leadership, racial justice, collaboration, and authentic human connection to harness this transformative power for lasting impact.

Leaders will be tired after the election.

Nonprofits are on the edge of financial or internal crisis and will need creative ways to endure. 

It will be the dynamic networks of hundreds and thousands of leaders, organizations, and community members that will come together to move us further, faster. Resilient networks of social change agents and organizations are our best hope to accelerate cross-sectoral, cross-issue, and multi-strategy solutions to our most urgent challenges.

IISC will be there every step of the way – to stand firm for racial justice, support leaders, help nonprofits pivot, and build vast and vibrant networks.

We Will Not Waver.

At IISC, our work intensifies after Election Day, fueling a movement of love and liberation that transcends any election cycle.

We are all more prepared for what lies ahead than we realize—the good, the beautiful, the difficult, and the ugly. Trust in the proven practices of transformational collaboration and the generations of action taken to protect our planet, relationships, and dignity. With creativity and courage as our guide, we will, no matter what, move forward.
