Program/Service Notes:
The Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination's (MCAD) mission is to ensure equality of opportunity by enforcing the Commonwealth's Anti-discrimination laws through the resolution of complaints of discrimination in the areas of employment, housing, public accommodations, services, credit and education. The Commission works to fulfill its mission through educating the public on issues concerning discrimination based upon race, color, national origin, national ancestry, creed, sex, sexual orientation, age, disability, and criminal records. In addition to these protected classes the Commission is mandated to educate the public on housing issues concerning marital status, military/veteran status, persons with children and public assistance. The Commission also initiates research activities and legal suits which may advance the civil rights of people in the Commonwealth.
