National Diversity Coalition for Trump


The National Diversity Coalition for Trump was formed in April 2016 to provide support specifically from ethnic minorities for candidate Donald Trump for President of the United States.

History

The idea for the group arose after a contentious meeting that Trump had with African-American pastors at Trump Tower in November 2015. NDCTRUMP was co-founded by Darrell C. Scott and Michael D. Cohen. Bruce LeVell, the executive director of NDCTRUMP, was reportedly a contender for Trump's appointment to head the Small Business Administration.
A stated purpose of the Coalition is to recruit, mobilize and support educational efforts in order to elect Trump president and to demonstrate that Trump has support from people of color.
The Coalition is a volunteer organization whose leaders are from minority communities of religious, business and politics. Bruce LeVell serves as Executive Director. Other membership groups are: "Hispanic Patriots for Trump," "Sikh Americans for Trump," and "Minorities for Trump."
In June 2016, the Republican National Committee invited the coalition to meet with RNC deputy political director Jennifer Korn and national director of African American initiatives Telly Lovelace.
In April 2016, Terry Lovelace became the Republican National Committee's National Director of African American Initiatives and Media.
On September 5, 2017, Javier Palomarez, President and C.E.O. of the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, resigned from the position of advisor to NDCTRUMP due to Trump's attacks on DACA.
