Virtual Town Hall: Protecting Your Rights: Defending Civil Rights Protections · Progressive State Leaders Committee Over the past year, Americans have experienced an unprecedented attack on civil rights and the foundational values that strengthen our nation -- such as diversity, equity, and opportunity for all. Federal and some state governments are using divisive measures to undermine fundamental rights, including freedoms of speech, of the press, of association, of religion, and more. Together, progressive state attorneys general and civil and human rights organizations have been fighting back to protect civil rights in their states and defend Americans from efforts to weaken our democracy. Join Washington Attorney General Nick Brown and Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones for a discussion featuring Damon T. Hewitt, President & Executive Director, Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law; Marc H. Morial, President & CEO of the National Urban League; and John C. Yang, President & Executive Director of Asian Americans Advancing Justice — AAJC. Together, they will discuss how states and organizations are working to protect civil rights for Americans nationwide. Join this conversation to hear from panelists about: - How they are fighting back against attacks on civil rights and diversity, equity, and inclusion - Why attacks on civil rights and diversity, equity, and inclusion are truly attacks on us all - What you can do to help protect civil rights and expand opportunity for all https://tinyurl.com/57epu6dh
