All Mississippians deserve equal protection and fair treatment under the law.

SB 2252 would mark a significant step toward this goal. This bill would ensure that all citizens, regardless of their race, color, religion, national origin, immigrant status, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, or familial status, are protected equally under the law.

The Act guarantees the right to equal employment opportunities, equal access to housing and property transactions, and the enjoyment of public accommodations and educational institutions without discrimination. Those who experience intentional discrimination may file a civil suit for damages.

No citizen should face discrimination based on inalienable aspects of their identity that make them who they are. SB 2252 reinforces the principle that everyone, regardless of their background, deserves equal protection and fair treatment under the law.
