28 Oct NYSCASA Joins Civil Rights Groups Nationwide in Condemning White House Move to Censor Race and Gender Equity
One hundred and twenty-one civil rights groups and allies, including NYSCASA, Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, and the National Women’s Law Center, recently issued a statement condemning the Executive Order on Combating Race and Sex Stereotyping issued by President Trump on September 22, 2020.
Instead of seeking effective solutions to dismantle racism and misogyny at a time when so many are calling for transformative policy solutions, the current administration has issued a burdensome and divisive executive order, seeking to broadly curtail and deter diversity, equity, and inclusion training efforts by government agencies, federal contractors and sub-contractors, federal grantees, and the U.S. military.
