Human Relations Commission
On behalf of the City of San Diego’s Human Relations Commission (HRC), we welcome you to our website. We are excited that you are interested in learning about our mission to promote activities that foster understanding, respect, and inclusion. We believe in protecting basic Human and Civil Rights, while ensuring that San Diegans have the resources available to make positive impacts in their lives. Our goal is to provide you with content and resources that will empower you to exercise your motivation to be part of a solution.
The HRC is comprised of some of the region's most talented and community-focused volunteers that San Diego has to offer. As an advisory commission to the Mayor and City Council, the HRC is empowered to collaborate with civic institutions, educate the public, investigate policy to make our city better, advocate on issues to the Mayor and Council, and mediate disputes of discrimination, exclusion, and bias in the City of San Diego. On this website you will find information about the Commission, useful resources and City services, as well as information on meetings, speakers, and existing partnerships. You can also request that a commissioner come to your neighborhood or community group to speak on a variety of social issues.
Thank you again for making the time to visit our website and learning more about the Human Relations Commission.
