Civil Rights Groups Meet With President Biden, Vice President Harris

Civil Rights Groups Meet With President Biden, Vice President Harris Topics of discussion at White House ranged from voting rights to police reform. President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and White House officials met Thursday with leaders from eight legacy Black civil rights organizations in what was termed “very constructive” dialogue. The meeting lasted one hour and 45 minutes and issues of concern ran the gamut: voter suppression legislation sweeping state legislatures, the spike in gun violence in America’s communities, police reform and more. Pending legislation in Congress was discussed such as the For the People Act, which passed the House but has stalled in the U.S. Senate; the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act; and the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, currently being negotiated by Senators Cory Booker (D-NJ), Tim Scott (R-SC) and Rep. Karen Bass (D-CA).
