Event kicks off with major rally highlighting ambitious agendas on civil rights, education, women’s rights and gun safety.
HOUSTON (June 02, 2023) — The Houston Area Urban League (HAUL) is honored and excited to host the 2023 National Urban League (NUL) Conference July 26-29 at the George R. Brown Convention Center. The NUL Conference’s return to Houston is a timely and valuable complement to HAUL’s mission of enabling black Houstonians and other marginalized communities to secure economic self-reliance, parity and political power. As HAUL approaches its 55th anniversary on June 19, we are at a critical stage in which the civil rights of
underserved Houstonians are at risk.
The conference benefits Houston as a whole in that it brings together major leaders from the business, government and social advocacy sectors and serves as a hub for policymakers, political activists and others to meet and exchange ideas, network and develop strategies to address a broad range of issues. The conference kicks off at 3 p.m. Wednesday, July 26 with an agenda-setting “Urban League Fights for You”
rally outlining the NUL’s goals on civil rights, education, women’s rights and gun safety issues. Other key features at this year’s conference include: Click here to view full article.
