The New Civil Rights Movement

In November 2008, following eight years of Republican policies that resulted in a global financial crisis and marginalized communities, voters chose Barack Obama as their president. However, in California, voters also decided to prohibit same-sex marriage by passing Prop 8. This moment had a profound impact on my life. Like many others, I sought answers and felt compelled to take action. In the weeks that followed, I founded The New Civil Rights Movement to provide those answers and unite a community of progressives dedicated to advancing civil rights for the LGBT community. Since then, we have transformed NCRM into a powerful advocate for progressives, the LGBT community, and other underrepresented groups across the nation. There is still much work ahead of us. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and for your commitment to civil rights and equality for all.

Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott is facing sharp criticism for delaying a special election to fill the seat of a Democratic U.S. Representative in a solid blue district who died in March. With the U.S. House of Representatives nearly evenly split, Democrats argue that waiting until November—eight months after the congressman’s death—to hold the election is a deliberate move that borders on corruption.
