JAKARTA - The Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) and a number of civil rights organizations in the US commemorate Black 'History Month' by relaunching a national plan to mobilize resistance against the efforts of the US President Donald Trump's administration to weaken legal protections for minority communities.
The Congressional Black Caucus is a group of black members of the US Congress. They and civil society leaders gathered and agreed on Tuesday this week to express their anger at President Trump's series of policies since returning to the White House, including Trump's personal behavior, which turned a blind eye to minorities.
"Over the past year, we have seen a coordinated effort to roll back the civil rights that underlie voting access, dismantle social programs, and concentrate power in the hands of the wealthy and powerful, at the expense of our communities," said Congresswoman Yvette Clarke, chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, at a press conference. quoted from AP, Thursday, February 12.
Clarke added that the Caucus pledged to "make laws, organize, and mobilize our community."
Ahead of the press conference, the caucus first held a closed-door meeting to discuss how to protect voters ahead of the fall US midterm elections and how to build a policy agenda for the Democratic Party if the party wins back power in one of the chambers of Congress next year.
