ACLU Letter to Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Leadership in Support of Fair Pay Restoration Act (01/22/2008)
On behalf of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), and its hundreds of thousands of members, activists, and fifty-three affiliates nationwide, we thank the Committee for holding a hearing on S. 1843, the “Fair Pay Restoration Act.” S. 1843, whose companion measure, H.R. 2831, passed the House of Representatives July 31, 2007, is necessary to ensure that victims of workplace discrimination receive effective remedies. We urge the Committee to support S. 1843 in order to fix a recent Supreme Court decision that undermines protections against discrimination in compensation that have been bedrock principles of civil rights laws for decades.

ACLU Letter to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights Asking for its Return to its Historical Role (12/17/2007)
Thank you for your letter dated October 22, 2007 to Nadine Strossen seeking the ACLU’s input into your project planning process for fiscal year 2010. We commend your commitment to strengthen your work products by reaching out to a variety of external groups. However, we have grown increasingly concerned with the politicization of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights as demonstrated by a shift from its historic mission of vigorously investigating and reporting on civil rights abuses against minority and disenfranchised communities, to a new mission, which has called into question programs designed to ameliorate the historic effects of discrimination.
