Celebrating Juneteenth Through Contribution and Renewed Commitment
June 19, 2020
In recognition of Juneteenth, the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States, Maslon is proud to make a contribution to support the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund (LDF)—a premier legal organization that has long fought for racial justice. Through litigation, advocacy, and public education, LDF seeks structural changes to expand democracy, eliminate disparities, and achieve racial justice in a society that fulfills the promise of equality for all Americans. LDF also defends the gains and protections won over the past 75 years of civil rights struggle and works to improve the quality and diversity of judicial and executive appointments.
We are proud of our longstanding commitment to advancing civil rights and liberties, but recognize that our renewed commitment to acknowledge and take the necessary steps to fight for racial justice is critical at this time. Maslon will continue to pursue steps to further address racial disparities, particularly in the legal system.
