And Justice for All

USDA And Justice for All Civil Rights Poster

The USDA And Justice for All Poster informs individuals of their civil rights and nondiscrimination protections under applicable U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) programs. Covered USDA offices and organizations administering federally assisted programs may be required to display the appropriate poster where program participants, applicants, and customers can readily see it.

Labor Law Compliance Center offers the And Justice for All Poster in four versions: Green, Blue, Red, and Orange. Each version is intended for different USDA programs and civil rights requirements.

Which And Justice for All Poster Color Do I Need?

• Green - Federally Assisted Programs (AD-475-A): Used for applicable USDA federally assisted programs, including certain child nutrition programs, WIC, and other USDA assistance programs. This version may be required in schools, nutrition program locations, and organizations administering covered USDA programs.
• Blue - SNAP and FDPIR Programs (AD-475-B): Intended for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR). This version is used at applicable offices and locations administering these programs.
• Red - Federally Conducted Programs (AD-475-C): Intended for federally conducted USDA programs, including applicable USDA offices and facilities.
• Orange - Title IX Education Programs (AD-475-D): Intended for applicable USDA-assisted education programs and activities subject to Title IX civil rights requirements. This version addresses protections against sex discrimination in covered educational programs and activities. Organizations should follow the applicable USDA agency's instructions to determine whether this notice is required.

Organizations should select the poster required by their specific USDA agency or program. Not every organization needs all four versions. Facilities administering multiple programs may have additional posting requirements.

Who Is Required to Display the And Justice for All Poster?

USDA civil rights posting requirements apply to certain federally conducted and federally assisted programs. Depending on the program and funding requirements, organizations that may need to display the appropriate poster include:

The And Justice for All Poster is a program-specific civil rights notice. It is not a universally required federal labor law poster for every private employer. Organizations seeking additional workplace notices can browse our Specialty Labor Law Posters and Federal Specialty Posters.

What Civil Rights Does the USDA Poster Explain?

The And Justice for All Poster communicates applicable USDA nondiscrimination protections and provides information about filing program discrimination complaints. Depending on the program and poster version, protections may address race, color, national origin, sex, age, disability, and other legally protected characteristics.

The Orange Title IX version specifically addresses sex discrimination protections applicable to covered USDA-assisted education programs and activities.

Because civil rights requirements vary by USDA program, organizations should use the current poster prescribed by the agency administering their program.
