Monmouth
County Human Relations Commission
Promoting
understanding and tolerance
among
the many cultural groups in Monmouth
County
Formed by resolution of the Monmouth County
Board of Chosen Freeholders in 1990, after substantial input
from community leaders from all walks of life, the MCHRC
combats the causes of bias and discrimination that result in
acts of violence, vandalism, and violations of civil
rights. MCHRC members are a cross-section of Monmouth County's
leadership, representing government, law enforcement, clergy,
minority groups, educators, and business.
The commissioners' activities include:
 |
advocating for victims, |
|
creating resources for schools, |
|
public speaking and outreach, |
|
improving police/community relations,
and |
|
educating employees and employers. |
The MCHRC also empowers towns to address
local human relations issues by assisting in the creation of
local HRC's.
Recognizing the cultural diversity in our
country, we also see incidents of bias and discrimination,
even violence, against persons who "look different" or
"act differently".
The MCHRC maintains a hotline for people to
call if they experience bias or discrimination.
A bias incident may involve:
|
physical or verbal attack or
harassment, |
|
housing
discrimination, |
|
denial of credit, |
|
employment discrimination, |
|
denial of access to public
accommodations because of one's race, color, creed,
ancestry, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation,
disability, national origin, or other factors. |
We urge you to join
us in our effort.
