When enforcement escalates or state violence hits close to home, nonprofit leaders can get caught between fear, urgency, and uncertainty.

You don’t need the perfect response. You do need to reduce harm, protect choice, and communicate care quickly.

Moments like this are heavy. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or unsure where to begin, starting with a few clear next steps can help you find footing and move forward with care.

Here are practical ways to support your staff when your community is under attack, drawn from what we’ve seen actually help in moments like these.

1. Make safety and flexibility available without requiring an explanation

2. Say out loud that participation is a choice and you're not tracking it

3. Lower Expectations

4. Share one resource without surveillance

5. Don't turn care into performance

6. Put one policy in writing (even if it's temporary)

7. Commit to reflection letter
