Coalition Shares Criteria for President-elect's Nominations

On behalf of The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, a coalition charged by its diverse membership of more than 220 national organizations to promote and protect the civil and human rights of all persons in the United States, we write to share our views on important qualifications for the nearly 4000 appointments you will begin making as you prepare to take office. In short, we urge you to appoint individuals who have a demonstrated commitment to upholding civil and human rights, supporting marginalized communities, advancing progressive values, and who are reflective of our nation’s tremendous diversity.
