關於我們

The San Francisco Human Rights Commission works in service of the City’s anti-discrimination laws to further racial solidarity, equity, and healing.

The HRC:

• Investigates and mediates discrimination complaints
• Resolves community disputes about discrimination
• Provides technical assistance

Human Rights Commission (HRC) refers to both the City department and to the Commission that develops policy.

The Mayor appoints people to the HRC. There are up to 11 commissioners.

• Civil Rights 
• Community Engagement
• Dream Keeper Initiative
• Office of Racial Equity
• Office of Sexual Harassment and Assault Response and Prevention (SHARP)

The Human Rights Commission was established in 1964 by Mayor John F. Shelley as the Interim Committee on Human Relations, and has since grown in response to San Francisco’s mandate to address the causes of and problems resulting from prejudice, intolerance, bigotry, and discrimination.
