rainbow coalitions
Multigroup political partnerships
A rainbow coalition is a political alliance that brings together diverse groups—different races, ethnicities, religions, or interest groups—under a common cause.
The term gained prominence through Jesse Jackson's 1984 presidential campaign, which sought to unite minorities, working-class whites, and progressive constituencies.
The candidate built a rainbow coalition of labor unions, civil rights groups, and environmentalists.
