Civil Rights
Protecting civil rights is one of the most important responsibilities for Members of Congress. People have a right to participate in our government and our society without fear, oppression or discrimination.
Unfortunately, some are working to turn back the clock and undo the hard won victories of our nation’s civil rights heroes. Congresswoman Lee is working to preserve and expand protections for all Americans, empower voters and ensure that our nation’s civil rights legacy is protected.
