Emilie Kao is in the right place at the right time.
As Director of the Richard and Helen DeVos Center for Religion & Civil Society at The Heritage Foundation, Kao is an attorney who has defended religious freedom for the last 14 years. She has worked on behalf of victims of religious freedom violations in East Asia, the Middle East, Europe and South Asia at the State Department’s Office of International Religious Freedom and Becket Law.
Previously she worked at the United Nations and Latham & Watkins.
Kao also taught international human rights law at George Mason University Law School as an adjunct law professor.
She earned an A.B. degree in Near Eastern Civilizations and Languages at Harvard-Radcliffe College and a J.D. at Harvard Law School. She is a member of the Supreme Court Bar and the bar associations of California and the District of Columbia.
Today, she is serving as a critical buffer between the Biden Administration and fundamental rights of Americans like you and I. On today's episode of Family Matters, we'll talk with Emilie about the Equality Act and the response to it called the Promise to America's Children.
I hope you can join us.
