Supporting Nonprofits in Crisis: A Call to Action

Episode Overview

  • New policies are cutting financial support for nonprofits aiding at-risk populations.

  • Support nonprofits through donations, volunteering, and advocacy.
  • Increased addiction and mental health issues among marginalised groups.

If you're against diversity, equity, and inclusion, I would strongly encourage you to ask yourself why.
In this thought-provoking episode of Recovery Rocks, co-hosts Lisa Smith and Tawny Lara dive into the pressing issue of how the new administration's policies are affecting nonprofit organisations that support at-risk populations, including the LGBTQA+ community. With funding cuts and banned language policies, these vital organisations are struggling to continue their essential work. Lisa and Tawny passionately discuss the real-life impacts of these changes, highlighting the increased risk of addiction and mental health issues among marginalised groups.
They stress the importance of supporting these nonprofits through donations, volunteering, and advocacy. The episode also features a Music Minute with Tawny and Fred Schneider of the B-52s performing 'Outer Space'. This episode is a call to action for everyone to stand up for these communities and support the organisations that serve them.
