Civil Rights
The United States Constitution, together with other federal, state, and local laws, prohibits government actors, municipalities, police, businesses, school officials, employers, and individuals from discriminating against anyone because of their religion, race, gender, ethnicity, or sexual orientation. Civil rights are personal rights guaranteed to citizens, and if those rights have been violated, you may be eligible to file a claim against the violator for the harm the person or organization has caused.
