The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission & Black Belt Community Development Corporation Presents:

THE EEOC’S REACH INITIATIVE!

Linden, Alabama Demopolis, Alabama Selma, Alabama Marengo County, Alabama & all surrounding areas!

We look forward to seeing you on 9/5 at Theo Ratliff Activity Center in Demopolis, AL from 5pm-8.

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is responsible for enforcing federal laws that make it illegal to discriminate against a job applicant or an employee because of the person’s race, color, religion, s*x (including pregnancy; childbirth, or related conditions; gender identify; and s*xual orientation), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information.

The EEOC’s REACH initiative is focused on enhancing the agency’s outreach to vulnerable works and underserved communities. In January 2024, the EEOC launched the multi-year initiative to build on existing efforts to ensure that the EEOC’s outreach and education efforts are reaching workers who often are the least likely to seek the agency’s assistance, despite their great need. This initiative is led by Commissioner Kalpana Kotagal.

The REACH initiative strives to prevent and remedy unlawful employment discrimination by ensuring that workers have access to the EEOC’s services and know their rights. By making the Commission more accessible to those historically underserved, the initiative advances fair and inclusive workplaces with equal opportunity for all.

The EEOC will be able to take charges of discrimination on the spot if anyone feels they’ve been discriminated against by their employer!

Please share!

Thank you!

Juneteenth, celebrated on June 19th, marks the day in 1865 when enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, were informed of their freedom, two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863. This day symbolizes the end of slavery in the United States and is a time to honor African American heritage, celebrate freedom, and reflect on the ongoing struggle for racial equality and justice. It has grown into a day of cultural celebration and remembrance ✊🏾

This is the third year of the BBCDC Annual Toy Drive, and we are grateful to have been able to extend our reach to even more children ❤️

In just three days, we visited four cities - Butler, AL, Greensboro, AL, Clanton, AL, and my hometown of Linden, AL. Together, we were able to make the joy of Christmas a reality for over 86 children. We were also fortunate enough to have leftover toys, which we happily donated Alabama Department of Human Resources.

We could not have made this happen without our supporters Jennifer Gowers Davis GoPro Event Solutions Medical Properties Trust Sam Ford Jasmine Allen The Summit - Birmingham, Al Eboni T Little
