The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights is a coalition of more than 200 national organizations dedicated to promoting and protecting civil and human rights in the United States. Founded in 1950, it focuses on issues such as racial equality, voting rights, and social justice, advocating for policies that ensure equal treatment for all individuals. The conference serves as a platform for leaders and activists to collaborate, share strategies, and mobilize efforts to address systemic injustices. It plays a crucial role in shaping legislation and public policy, working alongside organizations like the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the NAACP to advance civil rights initiatives.
