Civil Rights Groups

Ahead of Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein’s testimony before congressional appropriations subcommittees on Tuesday, several national civil rights and justice system reform leaders spoke out about the implications of a Department of Justice budget that shifts priorities from civil rights enforcement toward a renewed War on Drugs and incarceration. The groups called on members of Congress to push Rosenstein to explain his department’s budget priorities and commit to robust civil rights enforcement.
