Enforces the Maine Civil Rights Act, a civil statute that authorizes the Attorney General to seek restraining orders against persons who commit violence, threat of violence of property damage motivated by bias on race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, gender, physical or mental disability or sexual orientation. Assistant Attorney Generals from throughout the office handle civil rights cases. The office also trains and certifies Designated Civil Rights Officers most of the police departments in the state - municipal, city, state and college campus. The Designated Civil Rights Officers have the responsibility for identifying hate crimes and bias incidents, reporting those matters to the Attorney General and coordinating any resulting investigations. The Civil Rights Team Project is a school based preventative program to reduce the incidence of bias-motivated harassment and violence in schools.

Protect Religious Freedom! We ask that even if you disagree with us that you stand beside us, united by our uncommon differences, to work peacefully for religious freedom. If the government is allowed to persecute and prevent us from worshipping as we choose, then the government will have set the precedent necessary to proclaim what is or is not orthodox about a religion, it's downhill for everyone after that.
