Health Impact
Our Vision:
Every American has an equal right and responsibility to fully participate in our democracy and civic processes, and all people have a right to justice and fairness.
Civil rights don't exist in a vacuum. They are meaningful only in the real world - the world where people have to survive to work, to raise their families, to instill in their children hope for the future.”
