Show Support for Affirmative Action on Your Campus!
The Supreme Court is considering lawsuits against Harvard and UNC this fall, which may decide the fate of race-conscious admissions in the United States. We need your help in mobilizing your local college campuses by organizing activities in support of affirmative action before SCOTUS oral arguments begin October 31st. Activities can include social media campaigns, teach-ins, rallies, marches, a week of action, etc.
Leading the effort in defending affirmative action is a coalition of national civil rights organizations (African American Policy Forum; Asian Americans Advancing Justice | AAJC; Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law; and NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund). They are also looking for core student leaders who are willing to meet with student leaders from other campuses and develop campus mobilization events together. Core student leaders meet weekly to coordinate amongst each other, and members of the national civil rights coalition will be providing critical support, guidance, and resources necessary to put on these events. Please fill out this form ASAP if you would like to be a core leader.
