Arizona Civil Rights Advisory Council

In July 2026, Attorney General Kris Mayes announced the creation of a Community Civil Rights Advisory Council within her office, following the state legislature's decision to eliminate the Arizona Civil Rights Advisory Board.
The Arizona Attorney General's Office recognizes the importance of citizen engagement with government agencies and is committed to ensuring Arizona residents have a seat at the table to discuss important civil rights issues impacting all Arizonans.
The Council will be comprised of community representatives who are knowledgeable about Arizona civil rights, as well as committed to researching civil rights concerns in the state and assisting the Attorney General's Office in eliminating unlawful discrimination in Arizona. The Arizona Attorney General's Office is committed to ensuring that the work of this community group continues despite partisan agendas.
