GARE Public Resources

Public agencies in all fifty states have the responsibility and power to push back against federal authoritarianism. This guide equips practitioners in state agencies with menus of strategies and actions to block attacks against equity and justice, and to build programs and policies for a multi-racial democracy. The urgency of this moment calls for clear, focused, and coordinated responses to protect our communities, and to stand firmly against discrimination, oppression, and exclusion. We hope to spark ideas that strengthen defensive responses, encourage proactive strategies, and inspire courageous actions that shine the light for just and equitable governance.
