Justice for All
“And Justice for All” poster is to be prominently displayed in all offices where there is a USDA presence and where it may be read by customers. Please note that institutions participating in or administering USDA NIFA programs are required to display the appropriate “And Justice for All” poster (AD 475-A) in their facilities where it can be viewed by customers (Exceptions are public schools, public libraries and federal agencies, that should already have the poster on display). All “And Justice for All” posters must be displayed in a specific size: 11” width x 17” height. This size requirement relates to a problem where the poster's text becomes small and almost unreadable when printed in a typical printer's print size of 8.5" x 11". This ensures that program beneficiaries have appropriate access to program compliant information for USDA. The revised posters are located on the NIFA website here.
Posters have been updated as of October 28, 2024
Virtual Programming Update:
As we are providing more virtual programs, we need to make sure our audiences are aware of their rights when attending our programs. You can insert a picture of the poster into your presentation, but the following text must also accompany the picture so that participants can read it. You can find the wording below, in English and Spanish. Slides for presentations have been created and are below as well.
