The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights

About The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights

The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights is a diverse coalition of more than 240 organizations representing the majority of America. As some try to pit us against each other, We the Majority know that everyone benefits from one another's liberation. Together, we use our collective power to protect our multiracial democracy and expand the rights of all people during this era of unprecedented threats to our progress. We won’t go backwards. Born out of the Civil Rights Movement 75 years ago, The Leadership Conference has been an essential convener, thought leader, and advocate for public policies that make our country more fair and free. The Leadership Conference is a 501(c)(4) organization that engages in legislative advocacy. It was founded in 1950 and has coordinated national lobbying efforts on behalf of every major civil rights law since 1957.
