Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination
The Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination (MCAD) is the state agency charged with enforcing the state’s anti-discrimination laws in the areas of employment, housing, credit, education, public accommodations, mortgage, and lending. State law prohibits discrimination based on race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, age, sex, sexual orientation, disability, genetics, military status, and retaliation. In addition to these bases, the Massachusetts fair housing law also prohibits discrimination on the basis of children, public assistance, veteran status, and marital status.
The MCAD has offices in Boston, Springfield, and Worcester. Internships are available in the Boston and Springfield offices. Both the Boston and Springfield offices are centrally located and accessible by public transportation.
