Webinar | Towards meaningful action: a roadmap for responding to authoritarianism

The growing power of far-right authoritarianism poses many threats to charitable organisations and broader civil society. But what are the barriers to meaningful responses, and how can we address them? Join Natasha Adams, who will share research on how UK organisations are responding, as well as practical guidance on overcoming obstacles and moving towards meaningful action.
