Online discrimination reporting prototype

Current form reference

Before you begin

Report discrimination in clearer, plain language.

This prototype helps New Yorkers explain what happened, where it happened, and why they believe it involved a protected characteristic.

What this form does

Helps intake staff understand what happened, whether NYC Human Rights Law may apply, and how to contact you.

What you will need

Basic contact information, the most recent date, the location, who was involved, and any helpful documents.

Prototype privacy

No real submission is sent. Answers stay in this browser session and are only used to demonstrate the flow.

Plain-language shift

Instead of asking residents to classify a legal issue first, the prototype asks concrete questions about place, protected characteristic, facts, people, and evidence.
