The Leadership Conference for Civil and Human Rights

In this episode we will tackle how to respond to the new administration’s early attacks on civil rights. With a wave of executive actions already rolling back key protections—harming immigrants, undermining the federal workforce, and dismantling diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility—we will break down what this means for communities across the country and, more importantly, how we fight back. We will explore the role of grassroots mobilization as the first line of resistance, discuss how federal advocates can sharpen their strategy in Washington, and highlight the necessity of coalition-building to amplify our collective power. This is not a moment for isolation—it is a moment for solidarity, strategy, and sustained action.
