National Civil Rights Leaders Meet with President Biden Following State of Emergency Declaration for Democracy
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Days after declaring a State of Emergency for democracy in the United States, the nation’s top civil rights leaders met with President Biden at the White House today to urge the administration to embolden voting rights, improve economic opportunities, and advance civil rights.
On Sunday, the 59th anniversary of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, these leaders delivered a call to action for all Americans to protect the right to vote. This essential American right is undoubtably under its greatest threat since the Jim Crow era, which sparked the first historic 1963 march. At the White House today, these leaders laid out how Americans face the same issues now as they did decades ago and urged the President to take swift action in the coming year.
