Civil Rights Solidarity Fund
Powering
the Fight for Justice
Now, and For the Long Haul
From the rollback of affirmative action and voting rights protections to attacks on diversity, equity, and inclusion and the chilling effect on pro bono legal work, and the hard-won foundations of equal justice are under siege.
The Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law is fighting back — and winning, with recent victories protecting voting rights in Georgia, defending the freedom to learn in Arkansas,and protecting vital pathways to economic opportunity nationwide.
But today’s threats are unprecedented. For the first time in decades, the full force of the federal government is working to dismantle civil rights.
Meeting this moment requires more than emergency funding. It demands enduring partnerships with those who believe in systemic change — people who are ready to join us with courage, clarity, and strategic action.
