National Civil Rights and Justice Organizations Share Thoughts on Today's House Hate Crimes Summit

WASHINGTON, DC (September 15, 2022) – Today, leaders from the National Urban League, National Action Network, Anti-Defamation League, League of United Latin American Citizens, and Asian Americans Advancing Justice – AAJC will gather for a press gaggle immediately after President Biden’s speech to discuss highlights from today’s United We Stand Summit.

Set on the 59th anniversary of the 16th Street Baptist Church Bombing, the summit stems from a letter sent by the coalition to President Biden in May after the murderous attack in Buffalo, NY urging his administration to quell the growing threat of hate-fueled violence and extremism in our most vulnerable communities.
