Charles Ogletree, aka Tree, was one of the most brilliant lawyers of our time, a mentor to countless students, a tireless public defender, an advocate for the marginalized, a fierce opponent of racism and sexism and an extraordinary scholar. May he rest in power.

Charles Ogletree was a legal giant, brilliant scholar & racial justice engineer. We are grateful for his years of service on Legal Defense Fund⁩’s board and for his lifetime of inspiration to so many. May he rest in peace, power, and deep satisfaction for a life so generously lived.

I've spent time with the people of Lowndes County. I saw pipes protruding from homes, spilling waste into the same places where kids play.

As I said from the very beginning, this injustice is unacceptable. Great work by U.S. Department of Justice and HHS.gov today.

Today, President Biden visited Selma, Alabama to commemorate the 58th Anniversary of Bloody Sunday – so that history can’t be erased – and highlight how the continued fight for voting rights is integral to delivering economic justice and civil rights for Black Americans.

Proud to stand in Selma Alabama today to remember the sacrifices made by those who peacefully marched on in 1965 in pursuit of the right to vote. The spirit of John Lewis is with us as we renew our efforts to ensure that everyone has voice in our democracy.

Karen Hobert Flynn was one of a kind— an unrelenting champion of democracy, a staunch advocate of all things concerning voting rights, a humble leader, a loving mother, and a true friend. Heartbroken by this news. A loss for Common Cause and the country. 🙏🏾

Saddened by the passing of Cecilia “Cissy” Marshall — a national treasure, a shining light, an activist who supported LDF lawyers in the heyday of the civil rights movement and one who fully represented the life, legacy and values of her husband, the late Thurgood Marshall.

Lani Guinier was one of the nation’s most dedicated civil rights lawyers and brightest scholars — she cared deeply about political representation and ensuring that all communities have voice in our democracy. We’ve lost a giant.
