WILL just launched the “Equality for All Agenda” last week, calling for the repeal of all race-based laws and programs, following the Supreme Court’s decision in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard. Our report specifically examines state programs and laws in Wisconsin with explicit race-based eligibility criteria.
🗯 Rick Esenberg, WILL President and General Counsel, stated, “The Constitution demands equal treatment for all. Today represents just the first step–our work provides not only a model for Wisconsin, but for the entire country.”
🗯 Dan Lennington, WILL Deputy Counsel, also added, “Too many laws and programs exclude or prioritize citizens based on race. This must end. The ‘Equality for All Agenda’ provides a roadmap for legislators to ensure that our laws are colorblind, and that no citizen’s race is a disadvantage.”
📰 To learn more about this new priority, listen to Lennington's interviews with Vicki McKenna and Meg Ellefson.
