10:22Now PlayingNational Urban League CEO says their fight is about democracy, diversity, and poverty
YouTube Description
as posted by the channelTrump's "Big Beautiful Bill" is anything but beautiful. It guts civil rights enforcement, slashes DEI funding, and strips support from safety-net programs Black families rely on.
That's why this year's National Urban League Conference couldn't come at a more urgent time.
The theme: Defend democracy. Demand diversity. Defeat poverty. It's not just a slogan, it's a direct response to the policies now threatening progress for Black America.
And this week, the National Urban League is also releasing its State of Black America report, with a sharp focus on how this legislation impacts our economic power, voting rights, and future.
Marc Morial, President and CEO of the National Urban League spoke with Roland Martin about this year's NUL Conference and fight for democracy, diversity and the push back against poverty.
