In this sweeping global crisis, all communications are crisis communications -- from how your organization or brand communicates with stakeholders, to how you coordinate impossible work schedules with your coparent and now coworker (spoiler: not well!)

We talk about actual, useful information for anyone having to communicate on behalf of an organization, thanks to Melissa's PR expertise. Reanna discusses the tough choices nonprofits are having to make right now, and we reflect on how donors and funders can best help organizations who are serving those most affected by this crisis.

If you work at a nonprofit and are working on trying to pivot your fundraising efforts, here's a great list of resources from AFP: https://afpglobal.org/covid19resourceguide

The Like Button

• Stephanie's pick: Cleveland's The City Club has a deeper-than-deep archive of past discussions to help fuel conversation, keep you informed and serve as a resource for parents of older kids looking for at-home civics lessons.
• Melissa's pick: The National Cowboy Museum in Oklahoma has deputized its head of security as a social media manager during the COVID-19 social distancing.
• Reanna's pick: Jimmy Fallon's kids are all our kids--talking over us while we try to be professionals, climbing us like the playground equipment they're not allowed on anymore, and fighting for equal access to snacks. Tune into The Tonight Show: At Home to bask in the relatability.
