This past weekend showed us that we are at a juncture where our courage to challenge discrimination and counteract disinformation will decide the future of our multi-racial democracy.

We must continue to dream. We must dare to create a brighter, more inclusive future.

We are saddened by the passing of former LDF board member Christopher Edley Jr., a brilliant legal mind and staunch defender of civil rights and racial justice.

We extend our deepest condolences to his loved ones.
