The Civil Rights Division (Division) of the Department of Justice, created by the enactment of the Civil Rights Act of 1957, works to uphold the civil and constitutional rights of all Americans, particularly some of the most vulnerable members of our society. The Division enforces federal statutes prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex (including pregnancy, sexual orientation, and gender identity), disability, religion, familial status, national origin, and citizenship status.
The Policy and Strategy Section (POL) supports and coordinates the Civil Rights Division's broad policy work by developing and analyzing legislative, regulatory, and policy proposals relating to the Division's enforcement authorities. To do this work, the Section works closely with the Justice Department's Office of Legislative Affairs and Office of Legal Policy.
POL also leads and coordinates cross-divisional and high-priority strategic initiatives within the Department and with other federal agencies. For example, the Section maintains strong relationships with civil rights programs in U.S. Attorneys' Offices across the country and coordinates with the State Department on international human rights matters. POL also hosts convenings and prepares plain language documents and reports on the Division's enforcement and policy efforts.
