With the appointment of Yusef D. Jackson as President and CEO of the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, we are reminded that this is not just a leadership transition—it’s a call to action.
We are living in a moment that demands more: more courage, more unity, more commitment to justice. The fight for civil rights and economic equity is not behind us—it’s right now.
Our time is now!
Time to build. Time to engage.
Time to KEEP HOPE ALIVE!
The fight for fair representation is happening right now. In the wake of Louisiana v. Callais, voting rights & the future of majority-Black districts stand at a critical crossroads.
Join us for “What’s Next? Justice and the American Map” w/ Cleo Fields, & Emanuel “Chris” Welch.
Tomorrow, we gather to honor the strength, sacrifice, and unwavering love of mothers while confronting the real challenges families face every day.
This Mother’s Day, let us recommit ourselves to building a world where mothers and their children can truly thrive. ❤️ #MothersDay
Participants engaged in a robust curriculum, explored voter registration resources, and heard from leading voices in Black political thought and public policy.
We are grateful to our partners, including GoodKids MadCity and Chicago Defender Charities, and to all who contributed.
A meaningful May Day at the RPC HQ
In collaboration with the Chicago Teachers Union and Chicago Votes, we welcomed hundreds of CPS youth to our national headquarters for a civic engagement teach-in focused on voting, advocacy, and community building.
#CivicLeadership#MayDay
May Day brought the energy to our joint event with @RPCoalition
Students learned the importance of civil rights, including organizing their community, sharing their resources, and speaking truth to power. Our students heard from a powerhouse panel of speakers that included Richard Fowler, Dr. Adjoa B. Asamoah, Joshua Doss, and Charles Coleman Jr.
And a surprise visit from Lil M.U. got everyone dancing.
