Rainbow/PU$H is a Chicago-based nonprofit organization formed as a merger of
two nonprofit organizations founded by Jesse Jackson; National Rainbow Coalition
and Operation PUSH (People United to Save Humanity) in 1971. The organizations
pursue social justice, civil rights, and political activism.
Operation
PUSH was an organization that advocated black self-help and achieved a broad
audience for its liberal stances on social justice and civil rights. It traces
its origins to Operation Breadbasket, founded as a department of the Southern
Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) in 1962, launched as a national program
on February 11, 1966, whose primary objective was to promote the employment of
African Americans by companies operating in black communities and support the
growth of black-owned businesses.
From its inception, Jackson called its
membership a "Rainbow Coalition." This concept and phrase was originally created
by the 1968 Chicago Black Panther leader Fred Hampton. Hampton used it to
describe the multiethnic revolutionary federation he founded.
