LEGAL REDRESS

Legal Redress/Civil & Human Rights Complaint Form

The Pasadena Branch NAACP’s Legal Redress Committee is designed to assist those unrepresented by legal counsel who have experienced racial bias, discrimination and /or retaliation in the private or public sector. The committee reviews, analyzes, researches and where appropriate, investigates each such claim. When the review process is completed, the complainant is notified of the committee’s conclusions and if and as appropriate, referred to legal counsel or advocate organizations with applicable specialty. For services rendered for each such complaint, the branch requests but does not require the complainant become a member of the branch or make a donation in an equivalent amount.

Please note that we will not process your application unless all questions are completed, along with a one-part summary of the alleged discrimination that occurred.  Incomplete applications will not be investigated.

NON-RETALIATION REQUIREMENTS

Section 704(a) of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, (as amended), Section 4 (d) of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, (as amended), and various other civil rights laws make it an unlawful employment practice for an employer; employment agency; or labor organization: to discriminate against employees, applicants for employment, member or applicant for membership, because the employee, member or applicant has opposed an unlawful employment practice, made a charge, testified, assisted, or participated in any manner in an investigation, proceeding or hearing.

Important Notice
Please be advised that filing a discrimination complaint with the NAACP does not mean that the NAACP will be representing you in any legal matter.  If you believe you have a discrimination claim, you must file a claim with the appropriate State or Federal agency in a timely manner.  Failure to do so may prevent you from pursuing a claim in a court of law.

COMPLETION OF THIS FORM

Completing this form does NOT constitute filing an official complaint with a legal authority.  At this time the NACP Pasadena Branch is ONLY seeking information to assist you concerning this complaint.
