Your Civil Rights
The Minnesota Human Rights Act prohibits discrimination in places like housing, the workplace, school, and more.
You cannot be discriminated against because of your race, disability, sexual orientation, age, religion, sex, national origin, and more.
The law also prohibits employers from asking job applicants about their current or past pay.
"Discrimination threatens the rights and privileges of the inhabitants of this state and menaces the institutions and foundations of democracy."
-The Minnesota Human Rights Act
