Hello!

On July 2, 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 into law, a monumental step forward in the fight for racial justice, equality, and human dignity in America. It outlawed segregation in public places, banned employment discrimination, and changed the course of history.

In recent years, we’ve witnessed the erosion of this hard-won progress. The Trump administration repeatedly attacked the spirit and letter of the Civil Rights Act, rolling back protections in education, housing, healthcare, and the workplace. From weakening enforcement in the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division to blocking efforts that ensured equity in federal agencies, their agenda is clear: undo our protections.

This anniversary isn’t just a remembrance, it’s a reminder. The fight is not over.

Tomorrow, we’ll explore how those rollbacks affected everyday people and how we can organize to protect what we’ve inherited.

As a nonprofit, we depend on small contributions to keep us going. If you would like to be a part of our BBP team and help us defeat Trumpism where it stands, please consider giving today to help us achieve this.

In solidarity,
