SUBJ: UPDATE OF EQUAL OPPORTUNITY AND ANTI-DISCRIMINATION/ANTI-
HARASSMENT POLICY STATEMENTS
1. In our Coast Guard everyone is always entitled to a workplace
free from discrimination or harassment of any kind. We all must
have the courage to act if we observe any words or actions that do
not align with our core values of Honor, Respect, and Devotion to
Duty. This year's annual updates to my Equal Opportunity (EO) and
Anti-Discrimination/Anti-Harassment Policy Statements highlight that
providing our active duty, Reserve, civilian and Auxiliary workforce
a meaningful and rewarding experience is key to recruiting,
retention, and mission execution.
2. Commanders, Commanding Officers, Officers in Charge, Assistant
Commandants and Directors of Staffs are charged with fostering
climates consistent with these policy statements. Read the policy
statements to all hands and ensure the proper posting and
dissemination. Leadership must continue to model and communicate
these expectations on a routine basis. Commands may access the
policy statements at:

3. The Coast Guard Civil Rights Directorate and the Anti-Harassment
Program Management Office (AHPO) are available to provide guidance
and assist leadership in effectuating a work environment for all.
Accordingly, all commands are encouraged to contact a Civil Rights
Service Providers (CRSP) for all EO and Anti-Discrimination matters,
and the AHPO for all Anti-Harassment and Anti-Hate matters, to
include training requests. A listing of CRSPs and AHPO resources can
