                                               File a Civil Rights Complaint

If you believe that you have been the target of discrimination,  you should file a complaint as soon as possible. In most circumstances, your  complaint window may be limited to as little as 180 days from the date of the  discriminatory incident. The NAACP cannot help with your civil rights complaint  until all required forms have been completed and returned;Thorough completion of  this form will help to expedite the handling of your complaint;  If you have an urgent  civil rights complaint, you may also wish to directly contact an attorney for representation.

The sheer volume of complaints received prevents the NAACP from pursuing every matter.  Our ability to assist is directly related to membership support.  We do not receive financial support from the government.

BEFORE you file:
The  alleged discriminatory act(s) must have occurred in Wisconsin;
The person or entity against who you are complaining is not a United States, Canadian or Native American governmental agency;
The  matter is not pending in any court of law.
