If you ask anyone who’s ever been involved in the fight for racial justice who’s their favorite organizer in the movement, chances are you’ll meet a few who’ll tell you Cesar Chavez. Born near Yuma, Arizona, on March 31, 1927, Chavez grew up watching his family toil on farms for unjust wages. Witnessing injustice first hand would be just the spark he needed to become a fierce advocate for Chicano rights and organized labor unions. Chavez’s passion for the work was so unbridled that he would endure hunger strikes until the communities he served were treated with dignity and respect.

Frederick Douglass, one of our nation’s greatest abolitionists, was born in February 1818. The man who would grow to escape slavery in Maryland would later choose to celebrate his birthday on the 14th of the month. Douglass was prominently known for his anti-slavery writings and also advocated for several social justice causes, including womens’ suffrage. As an organization dedicated to racial justice, Advancement Project National Office carries Douglass’ spirit in the work that we do on the ground for grassroots movements. In fact, our office celebrates his birthday in place of Presidents Day! Hundreds of quotes exist out there which…

You saw it. We saw it. But we are not subscribing to Trump’s revisionist history during this sacred month, Black History Month, or ever, for that matter. His State of the Union address last night included claims of pro-whiteness, pro-terrorism and pro-cages. Sure, what he said was expected, but still, it was angering. Contrary to Trump’s claim that “the best is yet to come,” Advancement Project National Office offered our #StateOfRace2020 Twitter chat and will continue the conversation to set the record straight. Trump talked a lot about “fairness” but he never defined it. Fairness to us is #PoliceFreeSchools. Fairness…

For this Black History Month, Advancement Project National Office is uplifting those who seize the moment to create a better future for us and our organizational partners, who work diligently every day to create a better future for all…

WASHINGTON – Ben & Jerry’s believes everyone deserves the sweet taste of justice, regardless of race or wealth.
