Campaigns & Civic Action
NCRRRI coordinates national campaigns that translate civil rights documentation into legislative advocacy and community action. Explore active campaigns and add your voice to the permanent national record.
NCRRRI researchers collect hearing testimony, public records, and data to build an evidentiary record on each issue area.
The documentation is analyzed against federal civil rights law and published in the national data portal for public access.
Findings are submitted to legislative committees, federal agencies, and courts to support enforcement and policy change.
National Documentation Campaigns
Each campaign focuses on a specific civil rights issue area. NCRRRI collects testimony, analyzes data, and submits findings to the appropriate federal and state bodies.
Following the Supreme Court's decisions in Shelby County v. Holder and Brnovich v. DNC, NCRRRI is building a national evidentiary record documenting the impact of weakened preclearance protections on minority voters. Hearing testimony and data from 15 cities will be submitted to Congress in support of the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.
Submit a documented evidentiary record to Congress supporting restoration of Section 5 preclearance protections.
Our resource directory lists 36 independent organizations whose research, legal guides, and data tools support civil rights documentation.
