Authoritarianism isn’t just a political crisis—it’s a workplace issue, too. In ways both big and small, power imbalances, silenced dissent, and rigid hierarchies shape how we work and lead.

Stories of Impact: Care-based Safety At NEW, collaboration is one of our core values. For our friends at Care-Based Safety (CBS), providing a non-police response to crisis, and growing life-affirming support and opportunities for all community members in Washtenaw County is work worth doing. They deliver a community co-created program with two mutually reinforcing aspects: Community Building and Crisis Response. They respond to conflict and crisis with trauma-informed care; prevent destructive conflict and crisis through skill-building and social support; and collaborate with community partners in addressing the root causes of crisis in Washtenaw County, MI. They are peer-led, and center those most impacted by state violence—our community members who are Black & brown, live with mental illness and disabilities, use substances, or are housing insecure and/or poor. “Working with CBS is inspiring - their commitment to building new ways of supporting community, and how they lead the organization rooted in their values makes them a joy to work with. Their work expands our ideas of what’s possible when facing community conflict or emergencies that require care rather than policing.” - Megan Featherstone, Financial Services Program Manager, NEW From July 2023 to June 2024, NEW supported over one hundred (100+) organizations in SE Michigan with IT and financial services, including fiscal sponsorship. We're proud and grateful that Care-Based Safety is one of them. Thank you for letting NEW be part of your story! ????

We need to act now and reach out to Legislators to preserve Medicaid funding.

?? We need your help TODAY. Congress is considering devastating cuts to Medicaid funding that would put mental health care at risk for millions. If these cuts happen, it would be more difficult for many people to maintain access to mental health care. Tell Congress NO on cuts to Medicaid: https://lnkd.in/dzvdrpn5
