The USDA Non-Discrimination Policy
emphasizes that the USDA does not discriminate against anyone in employment
or distribution of program benefits.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) prohibits
discrimination in all its programs and activities on the basis of race, color,
national origin, gender, religion, age, disability, political beliefs, sexual
orientation, and marital or family status. (Not all prohibited bases apply to
all programs.) Persons with disabilities who require alternative means for
communication of program information (Braille, large print, audiotape, etc.)
should contact USDA's TARGET Center at (202) 720-2600 (voice and TDD).
To file a complaint of discrimination, write USDA,
Director, Office of Civil Rights, Room 326-W, Whitten Building, 14th and
Independence Avenue, SW, Washington, D.C. 20250-9410 or call (202) 720-5964
(voice or TDD). USDA is an equal opportunity provider and employer.
