Preferred term
National Rainbow Coalition
Definition
- Introduced in 1984 by social and political activist Jesse Jackson, the National Rainbow Coalition (NRC), based in Washington, D.C., was established as “a progressive, Black-led, multiracial, anti-corporate, and anti-imperialist movement that took an electoral form.” As such, it became an informal subgroup within the Democratic Party that served as the vehicle of Jackson's 1984 and 1988 voter registration drives and presidential bids. In 1983, during a climate of disenfranchisement of the politically underrepresented in the United States, Jackson formed a “rainbow coalition” to encourage millions of potential voters to register for and participate in the upcoming 1984 presidential election.
