People Power United Denounces the Supreme Court Whitewashing the College Admissions Process

In response to the recent Supreme Court decision to whitewash the college admissions process, People Power United - a progressive grassroots group - issued the following statement:

“The recent decision by the Supreme Court in the affirmative action cases involving Harvard and the University of North Carolina once again demonstrates the courts movement from Supreme to Extreme. Today’s decision to whitewash the college admissions process is a shameful errosion of civil rights advances made in the past 50 years. For too long a right wing, conservative effort has been underway to erode the legitimacy of the Supreme Court by having it attack abortion rights, voting rights, gun safety reform, environmental reform, and other freedoms. There is no power like that of the people, and People Power United stands ready to protect our communities against any and all injustices,” said Laurie Woodward García of People Power United. 

People Power United will continue to push back against the harms to our community and champion civil rights for all.
