Contact the Commission regarding questions and suggestions you may have. Request speakers and resource materials from the Commission to use in your organization. Request members of the Commission or staff to provide consultation services. File a complaint if you believe discrimination has been practiced against you. Report any instance of prejudice or discrimination coming to your attention whether it involves you or someone else.
