Blog 1: Scenario Planning for a Potential Harris Presidency: What Social Sector Leaders Need to Know
Webinar Recording Â
Scenario planning is all about preparing for different possibilities. It helps us anticipate shifts so that we can adapt our strategies quickly in a changing political environment. The pace of change has accelerated, and the challenges we face are more complex than ever. As we look ahead to the possibility of Kamala Harris stepping into the Presidency, the social sector has a unique opportunity to drive significant progress for marginalized communities. Harris’s policies are closely aligned with the values many of us champion. However, after years of political polarization, we’ll need to be ready to act quickly, seizing opportunities while staying mindful of the ongoing disruption from disinformation, social violence, and divisiveness.
