History
The Human Rights Task Force was created in February 2012.[1] The task force is charged with collaborating with organizations designed to address discriminatory practices, cataloging discrimination complaints, providing referral services, and performing follow-ups to the complaints. The information collected will be presented to the City Council before the end of 2012 and used to address the need for a Human Rights Commission.[2]
Funding for the program comes from the city's Dialogue on Race. [3]
