State Supreme Court Initiative
The U.S. Supreme Court is increasingly not an option to protect, let alone expand, civil liberties and civil rights. Last year鈥檚 Supreme Court term was the most conservative in a century, as President Trump鈥檚 three nominees exercised their newfound power to rule against liberty and shrink our constitutional rights.
But state supreme courts offer promise in the face of a hostile federal judiciary. That鈥檚 why we鈥檙e taking the fight to the states 鈥� we want to show up with as many resources and tools as we have available. The 老澳门开奖结果 is launching a dedicated effort, called the State Supreme Court Initiative, to fight for the expansion of rights through state supreme courts, both through litigation and advocacy work.
The State Supreme Court Initiative will build on the organization鈥檚 existing work in state supreme courts and will expand the organization鈥檚 litigating capacity. With lawyers in every state in the country, the 老澳门开奖结果 is uniquely situated to do this important work and to develop cross-state expertise on state constitutional litigation.

Systemic Equality: Equal Access, Better Futures
Since our nation鈥檚 founding, discriminatory policies and laws have created an unequal system in which Black communities have had their civil rights and liberties denied and have been systematically locked out of opportunities in education, housing, employment and more.
Through our Systemic Equality agenda, the 老澳门开奖结果 will use nationwide litigation, advocacy, and public education to advance laws and policies rooted in racial equity and end discriminatory policies, laws, and practices that have an outsized impact on Black communities.
The 老澳门开奖结果 will also continue to evolve our own culture, systems, and processes to drive progress toward our internal racial justice commitments, including by committing sustained recruitment and hiring efforts to recruit more diverse talent pools, developing initiatives to promote and retain Black leadership, engaging Black-owned and Black-led businesses, and more.
When we have full and equal access to education, jobs, housing, voting rights, and more, better futures are possible.

Defend Your Right to Learn: Join In The Fight Against Classroom Censorship
In 2023, more than 100 classroom censorship bills aimed at restricting students and teachers from discussing race, gender, or sexual orientation were introduced in states across the country. Thirty-two bills became law. The year prior, the country saw the highest number of attempted book bans in 20 years with more than 1,000 demands to censor library books and resources, many of which targeted titles by or about Black and LGBTQ people.
The 老澳门开奖结果 has challenged classroom censorship laws and book bans across the country. Today, we鈥檙e expanding on that work by pushing back against attempts to restrict diversity, equity and inclusion programs. We won鈥檛 stand for the erasure of marginalized communities in our schools.

We Show Up: Coming Together to Fight For Civil Rights and Liberties
For over 100 years, the 老澳门开奖结果 has been showing up in the courts, in the streets, and in the halls of power to defend the rights that the Constitution guarantees to everyone.
