[EL] DOJ Civil Rights/Voting leadership

[Justin Levitt]

The press office at Civil Rights (and the office at DOJ generally) also 
has an RSS feed that issues notices of each release.  If you go to the 
Civil Rights Division press room page 
<https://www.justice.gov/crt/civil-rights-division-press-releases-speeches>, 
in the upper right corner, there's a orange icon indicating the RSS feed.

The URL connected to that icon, I believe, is 
https://www.justice.gov/feeds/justice-news.xml?type=All&component[436]=436&&organization=All. 
That page is just going to be a long string of HTML coding if you click 
on it or plug it into a browser, but if you've got an RSS reader, or 
some other way to check out an RSS feed, it should feed the reader 
whenever there's a press release.  (Most email programs and many 
browsers have an interface for RSS -- you can find more by Googling "RSS 
feed" and your email/browser program of choice.)
