Investing in the Long Arc of Justice: Post-Election Convening
Resources
The Long Arc
In light of the election results and the weight it carries, we have come together to share what gives us hope, inspiration, and solace during this challenging time.
In response to the recent election results and the emotional weight it carries, we are sharing what is giving us peace, relief, and hope during this challenging time. To support this the NCG team has curated this virtual resource page, designed with our whole selves in mind. This page features a variety of thoughtfully selected resources, including toolkits, recommended books, music, and more—providing alternative methods of self-care and comfort as we navigate this moment together.
