Seth presents:

Discrimination Protection Under Washington Law

Have you ever experienced something and thought "Hmm...I wonder if that's discrimination...?" Or, have you ever wondered how to broach the bathroom conversation with your new boss? If so, this is the workshop for you. Please join Seth Kirby of the Washington State Human Rights Commission for an informative presentation with plenty of time for questions and answers. You'll learn what to do if you're discriminated against, who to call, and how to assert your rights. You can expect to leave with a good sense of what is and is not discrimination under the law, and what you can do to protect yourself. The Washington State Human Rights Commission has jurisdiction over employment, housing, public accommodations, credit and lending, and insurance civil rights in the State of Washington.
