CA Attorney General Rob Bonta, alongside attorneys general nationwide, submitted four joint comment letters opposing the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s proposal to roll back regulations implementing Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. These regulations are critical to protecting Californians from sex discrimination, disability discrimination, race and national-origin discrimination, and other forms of discrimination. In the comment letters, the coalition of attorneys general highlight how these unlawful rollbacks would strip away Americans’ rights to equal access, protection from discrimination, and federal accountability—undermining decades of civil rights progress. “Let me be clear: these rollbacks don’t ‘Make America Great Again.’ These rollbacks are nothing less than an attack on the fundamental American promise of equal opportunity. We will not stand by while the federal government continues to chip away at Americans’ civil rights. That’s why I, alongside attorneys general nationwide, are submitting these comment letters to ensure equity, dignity, and justice for all.” – AG Bonta
