Text: The DCHRA proscribes discriminatory actions taken by employers based on, inter alia, race and sex. D.C. CODE § 2– 1402.11(a). We use the “burden-shifting framework established for Title VII cases in McDonnell Douglas” to evaluate claims under the DCHRA. McFadden v. Ballard Spahr Andrews & Ingersoll, LLP, 611 F.3d 1, 3 (D.C. Cir. 2010). This is the same framework we used to evaluate Brown’s section 1981 claim. See supra Part II.A.; see also McFadden, 611 F.3d at 3 (McDonnell Douglas burden-shifting framework is used to evaluate both DCHRA and section 1981 claims). We, unsurprisingly, reach the same conclusion here and reverse the district court’s dismissal of Brown’s DCHRA claim.
