Leadership Conference on Civil Rights Education Fund
Funding will provide project support to coordinate and launch a civil rights coalition to advance a national public education community to address the Supreme Court’s voluntary public school desegregation cases in Louisville and Seattle.
Established in 1969 to provide public education and research for the national civil rights community, the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights Education Fund (LCCREF) promotes effective policies that strengthen civil rights advocacy and social justice reform. Through its initiatives focused on voting rights enforcement, fair and balanced judicial nominations, and affirmative action protection, LCCREF works on building an informed public that will be supportive of the nation’s growing diversity and pressing civil rights issues. With over 180 organizations within its national coalition, LCCREF operates seven distinct organizational projects to promote civil rights reform. The organization’s projects are Ensuring Equal Opportunity, Promoting Civic Engagement, Building Stronger Communities and Families, Criminal Justice Reform, Independence of the Judiciary, Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, and the Philanthropic Initiative for Racial Equity.
