Live event, Feb 25, Free: Let's Process the USAID Transition Together 🤝

[Mahrukh Hasan (Maya)]

Hi everyone,

Like many of us in the development sector, you're likely grappling with the implications of USAID's rapid dismantling. During times of significant change, community becomes more important than ever.

Please join me and my colleague Kate Cummings for a special virtual gathering:

🌟 Processing the USAID Transition: A Virtual Community Gathering

📅 When: Tuesday, February 25, 2025

⏰ Time: 8:00 - 9:00 AM Eastern Time | Display in your time zone

💻 Where: Virtual (Zoom)

💫 Cost: Free

This isn't a space for despair or unproductive venting. Instead, it's a trauma-informed gathering focused on effective leadership through change.

Kate and I will guide you through:

• Opening grounding exercise and presentation to tackle uncertainty
• Facilitated large and small group conversations
• Supportive peer connections
• Curated resources to reduce overwhelm

Together, we bring 30+ years of experience supporting organizations and individuals through major transitions.

You're welcome to participate as much or as little as feels right for you. Sometimes just being in a space with others who understand makes all the difference.

Register now

Do you have resources that might help others during this transition? We welcome you to add them to this mutual aid resources spreadsheet or this spreadsheet on alternative funding pathways that are already circulating, or reply to share directly.

We are curating further and will share with the intention of helping you feel calm, grounded, and capable of supporting yourself and others during this time of flux.

In solidarity,

Maya
