Introduction to Civil Rights

Civil rights include the basic right to be free from unequal treatment based on certain protected characteristics (such as race, gender, disability) in settings such as employment and housing. They are pivotal in maintaining the social fabric that binds us together, ensuring that every individual has the opportunity to pursue happiness, liberty, and prosperity. At the Rodney Jones Law Group, we are committed to protecting these fundamental rights, ensuring that justice isn’t just a concept, but a reality for all.

Understanding Your Civil Rights

Your civil rights are protected under both federal and state laws, designed to ensure that you are treated equally and fairly by others, as well as by the institutions that govern our daily lives. These protections cover various aspects of public life, including:

• The right to free speech
• The right to privacy
• The right to be free from discrimination

Key Civil Rights Acts:

• Civil Rights Act of 1964: Prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.
• Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA): Prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities.
• Fair Housing Act: Prohibits discrimination in the sale, rental, and financing of dwellings based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.

Understanding your rights is the first step in protecting them. It empowers you to recognize when your rights are being infringed upon and to take action to address such violations.

Examples of Civil Rights Violations

Civil rights violations can manifest in various settings, impacting individuals’ lives significantly. Some common examples include:

• Workplace Discrimination: Being denied employment, promotion, or being subjected to harassment based on protected characteristics.
• Unlawful Policing: Experiencing excessive force, wrongful arrest, or other misconduct by law enforcement officials.
• Housing Discrimination: Being unfairly denied housing or loans, or facing different terms and conditions in housing based on protected characteristics.
