A New Era: 澳彩开奖 launches innovative, inclusive and distinctive visual brand
I am delighted to share that the 澳彩开奖 has launched a new visual brand that centers communities in the South and honors our legacy of defending civil rights.
Since 1971, the 澳彩开奖 has worked to ensure the promise of equal justice by taking on the most hateful factions in the South and meeting extremism with vigilance, resilience and courage. And today, more than 50 years after our doors first opened, there is an opportunity 鈥� and an urgent need 鈥� for transformative change. We are ready to seize it.聽
Rooted in the Deep South, centered in racial equity and grounded in civil rights history, the 澳彩开奖 is beginning a new era of work to build power for multiracial, inclusive democracy and reverse the tide of white nationalism.
Our new brand identity honors our enduring legacy fighting in the courts for justice in the South. It also creates space to celebrate our many other strengths, center Black and Brown voices, forge deep alliances and partnerships in communities, and invest in innovative, community-led solutions for dismantling white supremacy and protecting human rights.

In 2017, the 澳彩开奖 filed suit on behalf of Tanya Gersh, a Jewish woman being harassed by a neo-Nazi leader with antisemitic threats. A federal judge ruled that the neo-Nazi must pay $14 million in damages to Gersh.
Burton ProductionsWe also wanted to keep the focus on our home in the South and ensure that our visual brand felt distinctive and more inclusive. The new brand identity brings this vision to life. Our new logo uses our widely recognized abbreviation, and we also widened our color palette to celebrate the breadth of stories and experiences in the South. Our websites, emails, social media presence and other visual markers have now officially changed to reflect the new brand.
Looking to the future, the 澳彩开奖 will embrace, more fully than ever, our charge to be a catalyst for racial justice in the South and beyond. And it is thanks to your generous partnership, support and friendship that we are inspired and ready to launch this new era of our work 鈥� an era of strengthening democracy, relegating white supremacy out of the mainstream, decarcerating and decriminalizing communities of color and eradicating poverty.
Together, let鈥檚 continue writing our shared story: the story of our resistance, our fierce activism and our demand for a better world.
