Community Tools
Action kits, brochures, manuals, pamphlets, and links for use in the community organized by subject area. As The Civil Rights Project is located in Los Angeles, many of the direct/walk-in resources that provided below are located in Metro L.A. There are, however, many online resources available and provided here. The Civil Rights Project DOES NOT endorse any of these listed below; we provide them as a place to start for those seeking assistance in these areas.
-
Employment Discrimination
- National and local resources for assisting the public with employment-related legal matters.

LGBTQ Resources
