Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) was in conversation with Eric Holder, the former attorney general during the Obama administration, on racial and social justice as part of a virtual event hosted by Georgetown University's Institute of Politics and Public Policy. The event came in the aftermath of the death of George Floyd, a Black man, while he was in custody of police in Minneapolis, and the nationwide protests for changes in policing and law enforcement policy that followed. During the discussion, Senator Klobuchar talked about her former role as a prosecutor for Hennepin County, Minnesota, and how that office had failed in the past to prosecute officers accused of unfair conduct. Both Senator Klobuchar and Mr. Holder also answered questions from Georgetown students at the end of the event.

The Supreme Court in a landmark decision ruled 6-3 that it is illegal for employers to fire a person for being gay or transgender. The court heard oral argument in October 2019 for two consolidated cases concerning whether federal civil rights law protects against sexual orientation employment discrimination. The two cases come from Georgia and New York. In 2013 Gerald Bostock, a gay child welfare services coordinator for Clayton Co., Georgia was allegedly let go for "conduct unbecoming of its employees." After his termination he filed a discrimination complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and filed suit against the county. He and his legal team argued that the county violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that protects Bostock from discrimination because of his sexual orientation. All the lower courts including the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit dismissed the case. The Second Circuit Court of Appeals in New York City heard a similar

Rep. Karen Bass (D-CA), the chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, discussed legislation to address police violence and racial profiling after the death of George Floyd. Rep. Bass said police reform legislation written by the Congressional Black Caucus would ban choke holds and include national accountability standards, which she said had the support of the Fraternal Order of Police. The congresswoman also discussed the "defund the police" movement, asking "why should police officers have to clean up society's problems?" Rep. Bass said social workers may be better equipped than police to respond to certain incidents. She also responded to questions about Joe Biden's expected vice presidential pick and if she had been vetted by his campaign.

The Supreme Court in a landmark decision ruled 6-3 that it is illegal for employers to fire a person for being gay or transgender. The court heard oral argument in R.G. & G.R. Harris Funeral Homes, Inc. v. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), a case on whether federal civil rights law protects against transgender employment discrimination. This case comes out of Michigan. Aimee Stephens served as the funeral director for R.G. & G.R. Harris Funeral Homes. Throughout her time at the company, Stephens presented as a man. According to Stephens, after she told the company that she was going to "live and work full-time as a woman," she was terminated. Stephens filed a complaint with the EEOC alleging termination based on sex discrimination. After an EEOC investigation, the agency filed suit against the funeral home. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit ruled in favor of Stephens.
