When given the opportunity, voters continue to choose to enshrine reproductive freedom and marriage equality in their state constitutions. washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2024/…


We need an attorney general who will promote racial equality, fight discriminatory barriers for the most vulnerable, and vigorously enforce the landmark civil rights laws — including the Voting Rights Act of 1965 — that our coalition fought to pass. civilrights.org/2024/11/14/the…


With limited time remaining in 2024, it is very important that our senators immediately vote on all of President Biden’s judicial nominees before the end of the year. Our civil rights depend on it. Tell your senators to #ConfirmJudgesNow: p2a.co/sdufm5m


Owasso Public Schools failed Nex Benedict. Thank you @usedgov for reminding everyone that trans, non-binary, and every student deserves to be safe in school and has rights that must be protected—no matter who is in the White House. bit.ly/48R0qkb


“For our democracy and for our communities, the confirmation of judges now is both urgent and necessary to ensure we have more jurists across the country who will uphold the rule of law and advance equal justice.” - Lena Zwarensteyn of @civilrightsorg wapo.st/3O85NSQ


Many women are managing their reproductive futures ahead of Trump's presidency by obtaining abortion pills, scheduling IUD insertions, and planning sterilization. We must have the freedom to make our own health decisions without needing to justify them. thehill.com/policy/healthc…


As we move forward, it is crucial that our government recognize the value of inclusion. By creating policies that facilitate citizenship, we can build societies that are not only just but also resilient, prosperous and united. bit.ly/3YZoZs2


On #VeteransDay, we must remember that the people who serve this country come from diverse backgrounds. We must honor veterans by protecting ALL of them from attacks on their rights and their communities. Join the work: CivilRights.org/Get-Involved or text "civil rights" to 52199.

As Latinos become a larger share of the U.S. population, a successful census — and with it a greater understanding of the diversity of the United States — will be impossible without a fair and accurate count and data collection on Latinos. bit.ly/4fjpeDv


Thank you, Black women, for always showing up for our democracy and our communities. As @mayawiley explains, building coalition is how we get our collective needs met.


All workers deserve paid sick leave. Congratulations to these states for choosing workers' rights! bit.ly/3O4QLwM


We march on for an America that lives up to its ideals. Join the movement for justice, equality, and opportunity for all. Text "civil rights" to 52199 to get started. Read our full statement here: bit.ly/3YUR5o5


We will start where we must — with Project 2025 and its promises to roll back our hard-fought civil rights. The Leadership Conference has always been central to the fight for democracy — we have never backed down from a fight, and we will not back down now.


As the nation’s oldest and largest civil rights coalition that fought for and won passage of every major piece of civil rights legislation in this country since our founding in 1950, we know there is a lot of work ahead to protect our multiracial democracy.


Voters decided who will represent the people. Thank you to everyone who showed up for our democracy, from voters to poll workers and election administrators.


How can we come together to build relationships and meet everyone's needs? @mayawiley discusses what's ahead for us.


Remember: Election results aren't announced on election night because accuracy is crucial. Every voice matters and every vote counts. #CountEveryVote
