The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, the country’s oldest civil rights coalition, has put a lot of work into documenting the Trump administration’s efforts to turn back the clock on civil and human rights progress within the United States.
The organization’s president and CEO Maya Wiley joined Grounded for a wide-ranging conversation to discuss several interconnected threats to civil rights.
We discuss the indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center, the erosion of the Voting Rights Act, ICE detentions of people based on appearance and language rather than actual status, and threats to the nonprofit sector broadly. Wiley emphasizes that the impacts of these attacks and threats reach everyone across the country while laying out the tools we all have to fight back.
