The National Urban League is putting into action a new phase of civil rights and social justice advocacy and activism, the 3 D’s—Defend Democracy, Demand Diversity, and Defeat Poverty. The “D3” campaign elevates and enhances our organization’s historical commitment to employment, education, housing, healthcare, and equitable justice in the face of renewed threats. The D3 campaign will target voter suppression, the “anti-woke” backlash against racial justice, and the persistent structural barriers to economic opportunities, bending the moral arc of the universe back toward justice.
