How a Right Wing “Bill Mill” Promotes White Supremacy

GUEST: Dominic Renfrey is an Advocacy Program Manager at the Center for Constitutional Rights, Anne White Hat, indigenous water protector in Louisiana

BACKGROUND: The Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) together with a number of advocacy organizations, has just published a report on ALEC, the American Legislative Exchange Council, showing that it has generated bills that promote racism and white supremacy in states across the country.

ALEC, whose annual summit opens in Arizona on Wednesday, has been the source of cookie-cutter state-level bills on a host of conservative issues. The report by CCR is called ALEC Attacks: How evangelicals and corporations captured state lawmaking to safeguard white supremacy and corporate power.
