Last week, the Civil Rights Safeguard Act (SB 3777) passed the Illinois Senate! 🎉But we're not done yet.

📢 WITNESS SLIPS ARE NEEDED: https://bit.ly/3S23wgU

TOMORROW Wednesday (5/26) at 2:00 p.m. CT, the Illinois House Immigration & Human Rights Committee is hearing testimony on the Civil Rights Safeguard Act, SB3777, and we need your support! SB3777 will safeguard civil rights protections for Illinoisans where discrimination laws apply by solidifying the disparate impact standard.

Disparate impact recognizes that policies that seem neutral can be discriminatory in practice and effect, if they impose an unjustified disproportionate harm on protected groups. This law would preserve protections for:

- Survivors of domestic and sexual violence who are disproportionately women.
- Black and Brown homeowners and customers who face barriers from redlining.
- Immigrants and naturalized citizens who face barriers to language access.
And many others!
