Miall, et al. v. Asheville
Race preferences for government committees deny equality and opportunity
No government commission or committee should use an individual’s race or ethnicity to determine who gets the opportunity to serve their public. Treating people according to immutable characteristics like race violates the very notion of equality before the law. People should be treated as individuals, not as members of a group they did not choose. With free representation by Pacific Legal Foundation, John, Robyn, David, Willa, and Danie are fighting back. Their federal lawsuit challenges the HRCA’s race-based membership criteria as violating the Constitution’s equal protection guarantee.
