Summit for Civil Rights 2025

May 8-9, 2025

Seton Hall University, South Orange, NJ. 

With an Opening Ceremony and Labor / Civil Rights Unity Gathering at Fountain Baptist Church in Summit on Thursday, May 8th from 7 to 9 PM. 

A project to rebuild, reinvigorate and reignite a powerful multi racial civil rights movement in America.

Since 2017, the Summit for Civil Rights has gathered prominent clergy, civil rights and labor leaders, scholars and elected officials to warn against ignoring the economic and social underpinnings of the populist upheaval of the past decade and to instead to advance an agenda and strategy to capture its power and leverage its anger.

We will again gather in the Spring of 2025 to assess the post-election social, political and economic landscape and to review, renew and put forward a nonpartisan agenda for transformative change to advance a unified working-class constituency with a unifying agenda for fully inclusive middle-class opportunity in work, education and housing.

The Summit will start 1:00 PM, Thursday, May 8, and end 4:00 PM Friday, May 9.  We look forward to discussing with you your participation and support for this year’s Summit for Civil Rights. You can go here to register and sponsor or for more information about sponsorship levels and packages.
