But knowing how to enforce these rights and file claims with the appropriate government agency may be just as important. FindLaw's Enforcing Your Civil Rights section contains a wide variety of articles and resources to help you assert your most fundamental rights. This section includes directories of federal and state civil rights offices; the full text of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, a directory of non-governmental civil rights organizations, step-by-step guides on how to file claims for various types of civil rights violations, and more.
