Attorney General Kris Mayes today announced the creation of a Community Civil Rights Advisory Council within her office, following the state legislature’s decision this year to eliminate the Arizona Civil Rights Advisory Board.

"This work is too important to let it go unfinished. For nearly 60 years, Arizonans with different political beliefs and from different backgrounds have volunteered to work collaboratively with their government on civil rights — and my office is committed to making sure that legacy continues, regardless of the decision made by the Legislature this year." – AG Mayes
