The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights (Commission) is an independent, bipartisan agency established by Congress and directed to study and collect information relating to discrimination or a denial of equal protection of the laws under the Constitution because of race, color, religion, sex, age, disability, national origin, or in the administration of justice. The Commission has established advisory committees in each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia. These Advisory Committees advise the Commission of civil rights issues in their states that are within the Commission’s jurisdiction.

The Committee will meet via teleconference to discuss and narrow down study topics. If you wish to remain informed of upcoming Committee meetings, you may subscribe to the Commission’s page on the federal register, or visit the State Advisory Committee Meeting Calendar on the USCCR webpage.
