DOJABA Letter to Attorney General Garland

Today, the DOJABA Executive Council sent the attached letter to Attorney General Garland, advising him of several enforcement areas that are of concern to the Department’s Black employees and the Black community, including police reform, discriminatory lending, and voter suppression. The letter calls on the Department to increase its recruiting and hiring of Black attorneys and Black interns. DOJABA also requests that the Department’s Diversity Management Advisory Council be reinstated and that it create a Department-wide Racial Justice Working Group. We’ll let you know if/when we receive a response.
