    Description

     

    Mission

    The mission of the Richmond Human Rights Commission is to promote equal opportunity without regard to race, color, creed, religion, sex, national origin, ancestry, or disability in employment, education, housing, and public accommodations. The Commission is also charged with the responsibility to protect employers, real estate brokers, property owners and others from unfounded charges of discrimination.

    Responsibilities

    A Commission basically has two responsibilities:

    1. A legal responsibility to insure that the provision of the Ordinance are vigorously enforced and;

    2. A moral responsibility to promote equal opportunity through actions which reflect commitment to Civil and Human Rights.

    Our achievements are also yours. It is our hope you will continue to join with us in a common effort to meet the challenges of the future, and the fulfillment of our promise as a free society. Encumbered in this promise is the reality of justice, freedom, respect, and economic equality for all persons, without discrimination, because of their race, color, creed, religion, sex, national origin, ancestry, disability, or familial status.

    "We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly."
    - Martin Luther King, Jr.

     
    The Richmond Human Rights Commission exists because far too often people experience discrimination based on their race, religion, color, gender, physical disability or national origin. It is the job of the Human Rights Commission to receive and investigate complaints, gather all pertinent information, determine whether or not the complaint has merit and then work toward a settlement.

    The Commission also seeks to create a better community by eliminating injustice and creating social harmony by protecting citizens from discrimination. One way this is accomplished is by conducting education and outreach activities designed to emphasis the origin of prejudice and how to prevent it.
