About the National Urban League

Founded in 1910, the National Urban League is the leading civil rights organization dedicated to economic empowerment, equality, and social justice. Through our national operations and the Urban League Movement of 92 Affiliates in 36 states and the District of Columbia, we connect over 3.8 million people annually to opportunities in workforce development and entrepreneurship, education and youth development, housing, health, and civic engagement and equitable justice.

National Urban League's Work

For over a century, the National Urban League and Urban League Affiliates Movement have led the fight for justice, opportunity, and equity for all. Through our advocacy, policy research, and direct services on a national, state, and local level in over 300 communities across the country, we work to Defend Democracy, Demand Diversity, and Defeat Poverty.

We imagine a world with no equity gaps. Specifically, we envision:
