EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) — Hundreds gathered at the 5th annual Reimagine! Conference organized by the Paso del Norte Community Foundation Wednesday to build stronger networks, learn how to be more effective and even to commiserate about funding uncertainty.
“We’re in a seismic moment,” said civil rights attorney and former president of the Texas Civil Rights Project Mimi Marziani, who spoke about a politically charged environment that is disrupting the way non-profits operate.
Marziani described how Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton launched 7 investigations into non-profits during 2024 in efforts to revoke their business license, something she called “unprecedented.”
