LatinoJustice and HACU just won the right to defend Hispanic-Serving Institutions in court after the DOJ refused. The same group that killed affirmative action now wants to defund HSIs. We won’t let them erase opportunity for millions. Read more: visit.latinojustice.org/HSI

Asian and Latino civil rights groups just told SCOTUS: communities of color must be able to challenge voter suppression. If only the DOJ can enforce the Voting Rights Act, critical protections like language access will vanish. Read more: latinojustice.org/defend

The Trump admin just cut $350M in federal funding for Hispanic-Serving Institutions. This move erases decades of progress and harms over 5.6M students. We won’t let this attack on equity in education go unchecked. Read our full statement at visit.latinojustice.org/cutting350 🔗

SCOTUS just gave the green light to immigration raids in LA, lifting protections against racial profiling. This appalling decision endangers Latinos across the country and weakens our constitutional rights. Read our full statement: visit.latinojustice.org/LA

Robert Roberson is an innocent man facing execution on Oct 16 in TX for a crime that never occurred. If Mr. Roberson’s execution is not stayed, he will be the first person executed in the U.S. using the widely debunked ‘Shaken Baby Syndrome’ hypothesis. JusticeForRobert.org

AALDEF and LatinoJustice filed a brief in a key NY redistricting case. Black and Latino residents are 40 percent of Newburgh, yet have never elected one of their own. Coalition districts matter. NYVRA must stand. Read the full statement: https://visit.latinojustice.org/4n6GGPI

The Dept. of Justice has ended its oversight of SCPD. Yet, Latino drivers in Suffolk are still ticketed more often and targeted through biased policing.

LatinoJustice will keep exposing & challenging racial profiling, unconstitutional police, & ICE collaborations!

Due to expected weather emergencies and ongoing flood warnings in the area, we are postponing A Legacy of Leadership: 20 Years of LAWbound®.

We’ll be in touch within the next week with a new date.

Thank you for your understanding, and please stay safe.

Far-right groups like AFL, WILL, PLF & Consovoy say white men face “reverse discrimination.” But their leadership is nearly all white men. We just urged the EEOC to investigate them for the very bias they claim to oppose.

We are facing the most brazen rollback of civil rights in generations. The same forces that used violence against John Lewis and are back, with billionaires’ backers and authoritarian ambition.

Senate Republicans thought they could sneak that messy anti-civil rights bill through overnight? Not on our watch. Let’s ruin their group chat vibes.

A YES vote on the Big “Beautiful” Bill? Embarrassing.

🚨 Breaking: SCOTUS refused to rule on eliminating birthright citizenship — and instead limited nationwide injunctions, making it harder to stop harmful executive orders. This weakens protections for all. Read our full statement: https://visit.latinojustice.org/citizenship

🚨 The Supreme Court’s 6‑3 ruling allows the federal government to remove immigrants to third countries with no ties, and with hardly any meaningful chance to challenge it. This endangers lives and denies due process. Read the full statement: https://visit.latinojustice.org/4k1XZ2h
