EEOC Public Portal User's Guide Volume 1: Getting Started Chapter 0 INTRODUCTION TO THE EEOC PUBLIC PORTAL
0.0 | CHAPTER 0 INTRO
The EEOC Public Portal is a secure, web-based application developed for individuals to interact with the EEOC regarding a complaint of employment discrimination. Using the EEOC Public Portal, you may file a complaint against an employer in the Private Sector (i.e., Business or non-profit) or a State or Local Government Agency. If you work or worked for the U.S. Federal Government as an employee or a contractor, or applied to work for the Federal Government, you may request a hearing with or appeal a decision to the EEOC regarding your formal EEO complaint. The EEOC Public Portal is the primary point of communication between you and the EEOC.

You might need to reference it during your pursuit of justice.
For instance, you might need to examine one of these passages in order to protect yourself from organizations that have discriminated against you. Please stay vigilant, though, because you might encounter severe pitfalls along the way (see this example of a Florida judge who outright committed perjury).
Nevertheless – and as always – please get the justice you deserve.
