The Congressional Black Caucus is building a new coalition with major civil rights groups to push back on President Trump’s domestic agenda. On Tuesday, leaders met and spoke publicly about what they call rollbacks in voting access, civil rights enforcement, and social programs. Rep. Yvette Clarke, chair of the caucus, said they plan to legislate, organize, and mobilize communities. House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries says organizers keep many tools on the table. They include protests, boycotts, and lawsuits. The coalition focuses on protecting voters ahead of the midterms. It also responds to Trump’s aggressive anti-DEI actions and funding threats.
