DOJ Civil Rights Division

Discrimination & Civil Rights · Michigan · Free

Report hate crimes, religious discrimination, and civil rights violations including against LGBTQ+ people. A starting point for documentation BEFORE escalation; report contemporaneously even if you don't file yet. EEOC for employment, HUD for housing, DOJ for hate crimes — separate agencies for separate domains. Documenting incidents in writing the same day they happen makes any later claim much stronger. Free, confidential, and open to anyone in the LGBTQ+ community.
