Keep a record of any perceived discrimination. Write down the date, time and place of what happened as soon as possible, and be sure to include who was there and what they said. If you remember other details, you should write those details down as well. Like a diary, you should also write notes about how the discrimination or mistreatment made you feel. Keep a copy of these notes, as they will be useful if you want to take legal action later.
Know your rights. Review this Handbook and other resources to learn about what federal, state, and local laws or policies might apply in your situation.
