DOJ Civil Rights Division

Discrimination & Civil Rights · Washington · Free

Report hate crimes, religious discrimination, and civil rights violations including against LGBTQ+ people. Useful for tenants denied housing or evicted because of sexual orientation, gender identity, or HIV status. State human-rights commissions often resolve cases faster than federal EEOC — ask about both paths. Healthcare discrimination is covered under ACA Section 1557 — providers receiving federal funds can't turn you away. Free service; donations support but never gate access.
