Welcome to Notes from the Frontlines, an NPQ column from Deepa Iyer. A South Asian American writer, lawyer, and activist, Iyer is the Senior Director of Strategic Initiatives at Building Movement Project, where she curates a project called Solidarity Is, providing trainings and narratives to build deep and lasting multiracial solidarity.

Notes from the Frontlines highlights the stories, needs, and solidarity of organizations on the frontlines of the struggle for a multiracial and equitable democracy in the United States. Each column will explore how organizations are responding to various crises in the current political landscape—and what the entire nonprofit and philanthropic ecosystem can do to support them.
