The Civil Rights Department's recent lawsuit to enforce housing voucher protections in #CA reflects our state's commitment to equitable access to housing for all. Read about it in this commentary by @JWaggoner_SoCal of @EnterpriseNow https://t.co/JAM6yfnjWV
As we hear the devastating news from Colorado Springs, we recommit to working with our state’s LGBTQ+ communities to combat hate and improve access to support and services. Anyone can now seek help through the CA v. Hate Resource Line and Network. https://t.co/8mSXSIwWyk
California is no place for hate. We are honored to work with appointees to the new Commission on the State of Hate to study hate in California, develop resources for victims, and provide policy recommendations to better protect #CivilRights. #CAvsHate
1/17 As the California Civil Rights Department (for the moment still @CalDFEH on Twitter) adopts a new name w/ more resources to combat hate & discrimination, I want to offer a few thoughts about gov't enforcement of #CivilRights in #CA. A thread, starting w/ employment claims…
Today, on #EqualPayDay, view results from #CA's first year of pay data collection under #SB973 showing (among other things) that women, Latinos, & African Americans are overrepresented among low wage workers in California. https://t.co/EDKa3tatwd
For those unaware of James Byrd, Jr. and his legacy - On this date in 1998, James Byrd, Jr. was brutally tortured and murdered by three white supremacists who were not charged with a hate crime. https://t.co/CwMfPasKfC
WATCH: Congressman @MondaireJones just spoke truth to power on the House floor about why some lawmakers oppose #DCStatehood.
Republicans forced him to withdraw his words, but the truth remains: Race is a critical factor in the long-term denial of rights for DC residents. Enough.
Thank you for covering this, @maddow.
We know Vanita Gupta fights for justice, which is why we need her at the Justice Department at this critical moment for our country.
Let’s get her confirmed. #ConfirmGupta
.@staceyabrams: "We cannot allow ourselves to be seduced by...this notion that because the insurrection in January didn't work that we're out of the woods. We're not out of the woods until we create a foundation for democracy – and that is H.R. 1."
Anti-Asian violence is an indelible stain on American democracy. The fact that it flows from ignorance, bigotry, & the hateful demagoguery of Trump as he blames China for the spread of COVID is especially disgusting. #StopTheHate @civilrightsorg https://t.co/jXikbwz6xQ
