Federal court employees spend their careers helping others seek justice—they too should be able to seek justice for workplace discrimination or harassment. My Judiciary Accountability Act w/ Sen. Lisa Murkowski would do just that—extending protections to 30,000 judiciary employees.

It is unconscionable that over 60 yrs after the signing of the Civil Rights Act, employees of the federal judiciary are not protected from workplace discrimination. I'm proud to introduce the #JudiciaryAccountabilityAct w Rep. Norma Torres Rep. Nadler Senator Mazie Hirono Sen. Lisa Murkowski.

I'm proud to reintroduce the Judiciary Accountability Act of 2024 with Rep. Hank Johnson to ensure all 30,000+ federal judiciary employees have protections from discrimination, harassment, and retaliation. It's time for workplace justice. #JudiciaryAccountability #WorkplaceJustice

The Judiciary Accountability Act expands federal laws that prohibit workplace harassment and discrimination to employees of the judiciary, putting them on par with executive branch, congressional, and private sector employees who have long-had these protections.

Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski is joining with Democrats in sponsoring a bill that would provide greater protections for the federal judiciary's 30,000 employees after an inquiry found that an Alaska judge engaged in sexual misconduct reut.rs/4dkQH6A Nate Raymond

📣📣 Yesterday, Congress reintroduced the #JudiciaryAccountabilityAct, which will extend federal anti-discrimination protections to 30,000+ #judiciary employees. There's never been a better time to pass this common-sense legislation. I urge Congress to make this a priority.

Next stop on The Legal Accountability Project (LAP)'s law school roadshow? Yale Law School ! On Tues 10/1, I look forward to discussing #clerkships w/ YLW+ and Title IX Student Advocates. At a school where clerking is top of mind for many, nothing is more important than ensuring informed decision-making.
