@KristenClarkeJD @LawyersComm @Tiffanydloftin @NAACP @DCHumanRights Discrimination has no place in DC.

And while the District has some of the strongest civil rights protections in the country, we still must be vigilant to ensure equal treatment and meaningful opportunity for all District residents. #AskDCOAG #DCTeensHaveRights

@KristenClarkeJD @LawyersComm @Tiffanydloftin @NAACP @DCHumanRights Q1: What is discrimination and what does it look like in everyday life today? #AskDCOAG #DCTeensHaveRights

@KristenClarkeJD @LawyersComm @Tiffanydloftin @NAACP @DCHumanRights Q2: Sometimes it’s hard to be the only person who stands up. Why should I say something when I see discrimination? #AskDCOAG #DCTeensHaveRights

@KristenClarkeJD @LawyersComm @Tiffanydloftin @NAACP @DCHumanRights Q3: How do I speak up if someone discriminates against me or a friend? #AskDCOAG #DCTeensHaveRights

Q4: Do teens have the same rights as adults not to be discriminated against? What’s different or special for teenagers? #AskDCOAG #DCTeensHaveRights

Q5: What does it mean to be discriminated against based on my personal appearance? #AskDCOAG #DCTeensHaveRights

Q6: I’m nervous about saying anything, but I think I was discriminated against—where can I go for resources to help? #AskDCOAG #DCTeensHaveRights
