Walmart, the nation’s largest private employer, has aligned itself with the policies of the world’s most powerful man, President Donald Trump, to roll back civil rights. Trump v. CASA is the Supreme Court decision being weaponized by Walmart to gut Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. If courts accept their argument, Title VII’s protections will collapse.
However, one case—Eberra v. Walmart—now stands between the gutting of Title VII and ensuring that this landmark legislation not only survives but thrives for generations to come.

From the infamous decision in Dred Scott v. Sandford, through the decades of harm and injustice upheld by Plessy v. Ferguson, to the promise realized in Brown v. Board of Education (1954), the judiciary has marked milestones on the long and treacherous road that led to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, securing fundamental freedoms for all Americans.

Make no mistake: unless your last name is Trump or Walton, you have to work to keep a roof over your head, pay your bills, and put food on the table. Title VII is the employment discrimination section of the Civil Rights Act that protects every American worker.
If Title VII is weakened, the harm will reach all Americans. Congress enacted the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to protect every person—regardless of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin—from discrimination in the workplace.
