Civil Rights Council - Mission Statement

Mission Statement

Civil Rights Council connected people working across the country for change, petitioned Congress for passage of legislation, registers voters, educates the public and protects civil rights. The organization channels public energy towards increased accountability at the polls and actionable policy reform.

The organization worked to create long term legislative solutions that channel resources to Americans in need. The organization advocates to the federal government to develop the infrastructure necessary to remedy the immediate impact of natural disasters by partnering to bring people together.

The pilot program sought to create institutions to empower people to engage in grass roots change at the local level. Their work built the movement by campaigning to advance equality by challenging convention in calling attention to injustice wherever it lies. The organization committed itself to creating common sense solutions to every day problems.

The civil rights organization called itself the 'outraged conscience of a nation': outraged that the government is unable to summon the resources necessary to bring the country together. The American Declaration of Independence declares "that all men are created equal." Civil Rights Council challenged Congress to fulfill the promise of American democracy in the pledge of allegiance to achieve "liberty and justice for all."
