Now Is the Time to Intensify Our Agitation

In the final decisions of this term, the Supreme Court issued a 6-3 ruling today that is a troubling capitulation to MAGA’s madness.

Today I had the opportunity to address the North Carolina Association of Black Lawyers annual meeting in Charlotte, North Carolina. Our history teaches us that every movement that has pushed us toward a more perfect union has needed movement lawyers.

The ancient prophet Micah tells of a moral moment when God brought a lawsuit against the people and called the mountains to serve as members of the jury. This prophetic text can help us glean wisdom from history for the movement we must build today. I’m glad to share this message with you and invite you to share it with the lawyers and justice seekers in your life.
