To File a Complaint of Discrimination
The Michigan Department of Civil Rights does not investigate hate crime, but we can investigate acts of discrimination in Employment, Education, Housing, Public Accommodation, Public Service, and Law Enforcement. The alleged discrimination must be based on race, religion, color, national origin, age, sex, disability, genetic information, marital status, familial status, height, weight and/or arrest record.
