The United States Commission on Civil Rights, based in Washington D. C., is an independent and bipartisan federal agency. Established in 1957, our mission is to shape national civil rights policy and strengthen the enforcement of federal civil rights laws.

With a commitment to factual information, we play a crucial role in informing the development of policies that promote equality and address discrimination. Our dedicated team of commissioners, along with our national and regional office staff, work tirelessly to investigate alleged violations of voting rights and discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, age, disability, or national origin. We also analyze the administration of justice and its impact on civil rights.

Through rigorous research and comprehensive analysis, we provide valuable insights that aid the federal government and the public in addressing critical civil rights issues. We are dedicated to advancing equality and justice for all through our objective and thorough investigations. Learn more about our mission and join us in making a difference
