Leadership Conference's open letter on a dark background

DREDF Joins Civil Rights Organizations Urging American People to Unite and Speak Out Against Attacks on Civil Rights and Freedoms that Protect Everyone

On March 26, 2025, DREDF joined the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights and 132 other civil rights organizations representing millions of people to release an open letter entitled “Our Rights Are at Stake. We Will Not Be Silenced.”

In a press release, Maya Wiley, president and CEO of The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, said, “Throughout our history, we the people demanded that our government serve us and not slam us. Americans know that the government can’t tell us what we can say or think and that it can’t grab power not given to it, especially when that power grab is designed to deny us our rights and freedoms.”

Join us and take a pledge now to defend our rights and freedoms by taking specific actions, including speaking up, attending protests, contacting elected officials, supporting civil rights organizations, and sharing information about these threats.
