Protecting affirmative action is key to protecting democracy

By Eric Brooks

There is a multi-dimensional attack on affirmative action underway today. Affirmative action represents a group of wins by the Black, Brown, Indigenous, and worker-led civil rights movement of the 1950s and ’60s addressing the enforced denial of access for African Americans and others to voting, jobs, education, and housing. Affirmative action was a step toward addressing systemic racism, first in hiring, then in education and other areas of the economy. The ultra-right and capitalist forces are actively working to roll back all the wins from this period.
