In the event that you believe that you have been a target of discrimination, you should file a complaint immediately. The NAACP cannot help with your civil rights complaint until the required form has been completed and returned; the completion of this form will help to expedite the handling of your complaint. If you have an urgent civil rights complaint, you may also contact an attorney for representation.

 

Disclaimer: Completing this form does not constitute an official complaint with a legal authority such as filing a lawsuit or complaint with a governmental agency. This form also does not establish an attorney-client relationship, nor any of the legal requirements that come with it.
