This brief (6 minute) narrated overview of Civil Rights Compliances basics needs to be shared with your Master Gardener Volunteers.
Narrated powerpoint:
http://staff.cce.cornell.edu/civrights/index.html
Please email me (bushway@cornell.edu) after you have shared it with volunteers to tell me
1) all the ways you shared it (i.e. via email, watched it at a meeting, handed out paper copies…).
2) how many volunteers “received” it.
3) your county.
I greatly appreciate your assistance with keeping our valued volunteers aware of this important matter.
In addition, please review this laws and policies document. If you have questions contact Sarah Dayton, CCE Professional Development Specialist.

Cartoons opposite the message the video wants to communicate: copy of email sent to CCE Prof. Development Specialist
Dear Sarah Dayton,
I just finished watching the video on non-discrimination noted in the CCE horticultural e-newsletter…
Though the idea of it is great, I have a suggestion for improvement. The sections on age, gender and LEP non-discrimination all had nice photographs. The contrast of the cartoons used to depict people with disabilities is jarring and offensive. What message are we sending if we do not have, or do not use, attractive photos of people with disabilities?
I think the video is inappropriate to use as it currently is.
Sincerely
a currently able-bodied Extension Educator
