Evidence can carry anger farther than anger alone.
This project exists to ask whether the federal system responsible for enforcing workplace civil-rights protections is accessible, timely, rigorous and accountable.
The mission
Build a public, source-driven record of EEOC performance and charging-party experience that can be used by the public, journalists, lawyers, researchers and Congress.
What this project is not
It is not the EEOC, a law firm, a substitute for filing a charge, or a platform for automatically publishing accusations against employers. It does not decide whether discrimination occurred.
What success looks like
Better public data on intake and case aging, meaningful oversight of investigation standards, greater transparency at the field-office level, and reforms that make statutory workplace rights more enforceable in practice.
Editorial independence
Case studies may originate from people who have personal disputes with employers or the EEOC. Their experiences can motivate inquiry, but publication standards require that personal allegations remain clearly labeled and that official data be accurately represented even when it complicates the project's thesis.
