Civil Rights

Civil rights laws protect individuals from discrimination and guarantee certain privileges, including the right to due process, equal protection regardless of race, ethnicity, sex, religion, or age, and freedom of speech. Civil and political rights are a class of rights that protect individuals’ freedom from infringement by governments, social organizations, and private individuals. These rights ensure one’s ability to participate in the civil and political life of the society and state without discrimination or repression. A violation of an individual’s civil rights can commonly manifest as:

• Employment Discrimination
• Police Misconduct
• Sexual Harassment
• Infringing the Americans with Disabilities Act

Both state and federal laws, including the U.S. Constitution, protect citizens from a broad range of injustices including wrongful termination, unlawful retaliation, police misconduct, and other infractions of civil rights.
