To support important, ongoing efforts to advance DEIA and equal opportunity, LDF has created general guidance for employers and funders as they work to advance racial equity and navigate the legal landscape after the SFFA decision: naacpldf.org/equal-protecti…
We're honoring 70 years of LDF’s landmark case, Brown v. Board of Education, with a convening of litigators, scholars, academics, and clients who will discuss the legacy, impact, and promise of Brown. 📆 May 17 | 6:30 – 8:30 PM ET For more details: naacpldf.org/events/ldf-eve…
From April 2-5, LDF attorneys were in Louisiana representing Black students & their families in Banks v. St James Parish, a case challenging the school district’s motion to be released from federal supervision despite persisting segregation. naacpldf.org/case-issue/ban…
A years-long investigation of public records by @CityAndStateNY found that 12,748+ cases filed against the NYPD that were settled or awarded monetary verdicts from January–December 2023 were never mentioned in litigation outcome summaries. cityandstateny.com/policy/2024/04…
"Minnesota is embracing the opportunity to build on its progress in advancing the freedom to vote and join the growing list of states protecting voters against unequal access to the ballot." @Michael_Pernick mprnews.org/story/2024/04/…
“My activism always existed. My art gave me the platform to do something about the activism." Today, we honor the memory of Harry Belafonte, an artist who seamlessly tied his career in music to his passion for social activism. naacpldf.org/tribute-to-har…
President & Director-Counsel @JNelsonLDF spoke about civil rights work and the art of patience with Acumen America. Read the full profile: acumenamerica.org/where-to-next/…
Ten years after the water crisis, LDF is fighting for Black communities' access to basic resources, like clean & affordable water, in cases like Pickett v. Cleveland Hear from our clients and attorneys fighting to secure justice for Black residents: youtu.be/-_JAH-cwSSg
Clean water is a basic human right. But across the country, low-income communities of color struggle to afford water and face mass water shutoffs. This is how state, federal and local governments can address America's water affordability crisis. ⬇️ tminstituteldf.org/water-color-20…
Over the past decade, Flint’s water crisis has revealed how government failures at every level could effectively kill a city while opening the country’s eyes to how an environmental crisis could wreak havoc on all facets of life. capitalbnews.org/flint-water-cr…
The emergency management of the Flint water crisis is among the most notable examples of a state takeover with devastating consequences for a city’s majority-Black residents. Dive deeper into state takeovers: tminstituteldf.org/when-the-state…
What began as a cost-cutting measure by Flint, Michigan city officials #OTD in 2014, resulted in a massive public health crisis that disrupted the city’s water supply. The fight for access to safe, clean, and affordable water for Black communities continues.
The policies/practices that Pickett v. Cleveland challenges include: 🚰 Placing liens on properties with overdue water bills 📈 Over-billing customers & making them pay for erroneous charges 🚱 Terminating water service for unpaid water debt naacpldf.org/case-issue/pic…
In partnership with the Prisoners Legal Advocacy Network (PLAN), @TMI_LDF prepared toolkits for both election and prison administrators and advocates to build out poll sites in local jails. Check it out & listen to the latest episode of #JusticeAboveAll. tminstituteldf.org/voting-in-jail…
"It should go without saying that all people experiencing a medical urgency, should get the healthcare they need, period, including an abortion." LDF's @Krissy_Roth at today's @nwlc's abortion rights rally.
"Statistically, only about .000677% of voters in the United States are suspected suspected of committing voter fraud. That's nearly non-existent." @CDas_bklyn on the first episode of #JusticeAboveAll Season 3. tminstituteldf.org/what-is-the-st…
Abortion care is a fundamental part of reproductive health justice for Black, Brown, and low-income communities. Today, we were at SCOTUS rallying for abortion access with @nwlc.
In our 84+ years, we have continuously fought for Black Americans and people of color to receive equal opportunity in the healthcare system. In 1965, we filed a lawsuit against 29 hospitals in the South for discriminating against patients of color. #MinorityHealthMonth
Today, the Supreme Court will consider — for the first time since it overturned Roe v. Wade — whether an individual state’s abortion ban is constitutional. nbcnews.com/politics/supre…
As long as American cities have been segregated by race, local officials have found ways to deprive Black people of access to affordable water. The "Water/Color" report details the devastating impact on low-income communities of color. #FairHousingMonth tminstituteldf.org/water-color-20…

As we prepare to celebrate our 84th anniversary tomorrow, we honor the brilliant women who've maintained LDF's legacy and mission to advance racial justice. ⭐ @JNelsonLDF ⭐ @TonaBoydEsq ⭐ Sherrilyn Ifill ⭐ Elaine Jones #WomensHistoryMonth
At @TheBlackCaucus we’re thankful for the partnership and work we’ve done with @NAACP_LDF over the years and that which is still to come. Onward.
84 years ago Thurgood Marshall founded LDF. Every day since we've used the power of people, litigation, research, and narrative to advance the mission of racial, economic, and social justice for Black communities across the U.S. Our fight and our work are far from over.
It is the honor and privilege of a lifetime to lead LDF—a visionary racial justice legacy organization founded by Thurgood Marshall, molded by generations of legal icons, and dedicated to the mission of advancing the power and freedom of Black people in America with excellence.
Today we celebrate @JNelsonLDF on her second anniversary as President and Director-Counsel of LDF! Some highlights from yet another impactful year ⬇️
BREAKING: The Senate just confirmed Judge Melissa DuBose to the District of Rhode Island – making her the first lifetime judge of color and first openly LGBTQ lifetime judge on this court. This is the 100th confirmation of a Black woman to a lifetime federal judgeship – ever.
