C&SN will be closed for the holidays from 12/24 - 1/1. We hope our partners are resting after a challenging year, and come back in the new year rejuvenated and ready to continue our advocacy for #CivilSociety rights from ever-encroaching #NationalSecurity measures.
Be sure to read the report from our wonderful partners @HSCollective, titled: "The Unintended Consequences of Financial Sanctions Regimes on Humanitarian Organizations: What Are the Gaps That Need to Be Filled?"
