The Nomination of Senator Jeff Sessions as U.S. Attorney General Threatens Civil Rights
A key responsibility of the attorney general is to oversee the U.S. Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division — enforcing our nation’s civil rights laws and upholding the U.S. Constitution.
One month after the election of Donald Trump, Asian Americans Advancing Justice takes stock of the post-election landscape. While many details are not yet clear, we do have a sense of the looming challenges on civil rights and social justice issues. We examine what lays ahead for Asian American and Pacific Islander communities on issues such as DACA, deportations, targeting of Muslims, hate attacks, the Affordable Care Act, voting rights, educational access, and the 2020 Census. Follow-up webinars will be scheduled to focus specifically on each issue.
