Preempting to Thwart Racial Justice

 

This session builds on our spring webinar documenting the 2021 legislative session as a session like no other.  To recap, state legislatures continued to target local authority, but the disturbing trend that this webinar will focus on was the use of preemption to prevent or limit local jurisdictions from taking steps to pursue racial justice initiatives.  In direct reaction to the racial justice conversations of summer 2020, states passed laws that force higher penalties for protesters, prevent cities from reducing their law enforcement budgets, and ban the teaching of critical race theory.  This legislative session marked an escalation of preemption to engage in racially targeted culture wars.
