Justice: Civil Rights

From the Legal Information Institute at Cornell University Law School.

"The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights is a coalition charged by its diverse membership of more than 200 national organizations to promote and protect the civil and human rights of all persons in the United States. Through advocacy and outreach to targeted constituencies, The Leadership Conference works toward the goal of a more open and just society – an America as good as its ideals."

CRD promotes and ensures that people have equal access to and opportunity to participate in certain health care and human services programs without facing unlawful discrimination.

Established as an independent, bipartisan, fact-finding federal agency, its mission is to inform the development of national civil rights policy and enhance enforcement of federal civil rights laws.
