32] – Demand Justice [volunteer@demandjustice.org] is hosting a Rally For Affirmative Action outside the Supreme Court on Mon., Oct. 31 at 8 AM ET. All students deserve a fair shot at going to college, regardless of their family’s finances, where they grew up, or their racial and ethnic background. But systemic and racial inequities still prevent all students from having equal access to educational opportunities. Affirmative action helps to expand higher education opportunities to those who have been historically denied by ensuring that the many talents and experiences of students of color aren’t overlooked in admissions processes that tend to be biased against them. The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in two cases concerning the consideration of race as one factor in college admissions at Harvard College and the University of North Carolina.  RSVP athttps://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd9tAl4XXHZdStmZaY2nOCT-qMcO3Xb00lgcer57m2-MtFI-Q/viewform?link_id=1&can_id=4b9d4061aec5469758759317ac0f5285&source=email-clarence-thomas-needs-to-go&email_referrer=email_1718554&email_subject=firstname-default-join-us-rally-for-affirmative-action-outside-the-supreme-court.
