“With Trump in the White House, social conservatives can use executive action to try to ban abortion; MAGA nationalists can end most forms of immigration, commence mass deportations and leverage civil rights laws against imagined “anti-white” discrimination; and reactionary opponents of social insurance can weaken Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. And this is to say nothing of Trump’s own plans to rule as an autocrat under a court-sanctioned theory of unitary executive authority.” – Jamelle Bouie

Project 2025, the sweeping extremist policy agenda assembled by Donald Trump’s supporters, allies, and veterans of his administration, is deeply unpopular with the American people.

NEW YORK (November 7, 2024) -- National Urban League President and CEO Marc H. Morial issued the following statement in response to the presidential election results:

“As champions of voting rights and fair representation, reproductive freedom, diversity, equity, and inclusion, we at the National Urban League recognize the concern and alarm raised by the election of Donald Trump.

“The National Urban League was a frequent critic of President Trump during his first term, fighting back against unprecedented rollback of civil and human rights and advocating for a just and equitable response to a global pandemic that inflicted damage to our economy that still is being felt today.

The Shenango Valley Urban League (Farrell, PA) is getting help teaching digital education to the people it serves.

The organization employs people who fulfill online orders for snack boxes. It teaches them job skills. It also received a $15,000 grant from Spectrum to teach digital education to people who are defined as homeless by HUD.

The money is supporting the TECH program, which stands for teaching e-commerce and computers to the homeless.

“Through the program, we want to have them become more job ready, likely be able to get some careers around the tech fields. These skills can help them be able to get some higher paying employment, which is the goal,” said Shenango Valley Urban League President and CEO, Dr. Erin Houston.

The Chicago Urban League (Chicago, IL) gathered with thought leaders to discuss reparations, particularly R3 funding (Restore Reinvest and Renew), offering suggestions for all Black communities addressing the historical impacts of slavery and ongoing injustices, including those stemming from the war on drugs which are rooted in institutional racism.

The push for reparations has become a multi-generational movement within the African American community that advocates for justice and equity. It not only acknowledges the forced labor of our African ancestors but also seeks to restore support and dignity to the descendants who continue to face systemic inequities.
