[Tune in now.]( Dear {NAME}, We're excited to announce our latest episode of Pod for the Cause, which celebrates the 60th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and breaks down the current threats to our progress from Project 2025. In this episode, we reflect on the monumental changes this legislation achieved in dismantling legalized segregation and securing voting rights. We celebrate the victories it represented for marginalized communities and how it catalyzed further reforms in education, housing, and employment while also acknowledging the ongoing challenges we face today from Project 2025 — an extremist agenda for a conservative administration that seeks to roll back vital civil rights protections. Join our host Kanya Bennett as she speaks with leading voices in the fight for civil rights, including Juan Proaño, CEO of LULAC; Lisa Bland Malone, director of policy and legislative affairs at NAACP; Cynthia Roseberry, director of policy and government affairs for justice at the ACLU; and Joe Williams, deputy managing director at Word in Black. Together, they unpack the current threats to civil rights amidst attacks on racial justice, voting rights, economic security, and more — and the urgent need to defend and expand these hard-won protections in our politically polarized landscape.
