Discrimination & Civil Rights Attorney
Civil Rights Attorney in Albuquerque, New Mexico
The purpose of all civil rights laws is to guarantee that no one is discriminated against—denied service or accommodations—because of:
- Race
- Ethnicity
- Ancestry
- National origin
- Color
- Religion
- Physical (dis)ability
- Sexual orientation
Federal legislation, including the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Americans with Disabilities Act, were instrumental in establishing the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission, which aims to ensure that employers (with 15 or more employees) comply with civil rights laws.
State laws, like the New Mexico Human Rights Act, echo federal civil rights laws but further clarify and/or add to qualities upon which the refusal of services or accommodations cannot be based and applies to small employers that federal legislation does not cover.
Of course, civil rights violations extend much further than wrongful termination and other job-related acts of discrimination all the way to police brutality and prison abuse.
