The National Black Justice Coalition is seeking dynamic candidates for its Development and Operations Manager position.

The National Black Justice Coalition (NBJC) is a civil rights organization dedicated to empowering Black lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people. NBJC’s mission is to end racism and homophobia. As America’s leading national Black LGBT civil rights organization focused on federal public policy, NBJC has accepted the charge to lead Black families in strengthening the bonds and bridging the gaps between the movements for racial justice and LGBT equality.

Marcus Lee, a sophomore at Morehouse College and the Special Programs and Events Coordinator of its LGBT student group SafeSpace, recaps Mixfest—the first international LGBT film and arts festival for people of color.  People from across the country came out to participate in this celebration of freedom and wholeness. NBJC was a proud sponsor of the film festival.

On February 21, over 200 Black LGBT youth took our nation's capital by storm for the annual Black LGBT Emerging Leaders Day. NBJC was proud to convene such a dynamic group of inspiring and insightful change-makers as well as partner with the Human Rights Campaign and the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force.  The event was highlighted on WhiteHouse.gov under the African American History Month Weekly Wrap-up!

NBJC applauds the U.S. Senate’s passage yesterday of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) reauthorization bill, which includes explicit protections for LGBT survivors of domestic violence. As a coalition member of The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, a coalition charged by its diverse membership of more than 210 national organizations to promote and protect the civil and human rights of all persons in the United States, NBJC informed senators about VAWA's importance and advocated for the bill's passage.
