Summary
Creates an independent commission to review and document how post-9/11 government policies profiled and harmed Arab, Muslim, Middle Eastern, South Asian, and Sikh communities. It would also call for congressional hearings, support resources for community-based organizations outside law enforcement to help victims and build culturally and linguistically accessible alternatives to policing, and ask the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation to study health impacts of hate and profiling.
