How we can rise to the moment and meet the challenges we face in our world today.

As we face unprecedented challenges in our world and in our work, we’ll hear from leading voices working across climate, digital rights, LGBTQ+ rights and combatting the far right about what we need to do now and how we can rise to meet the moment - as fundraisers, as a sector and as a community.
