About:

The roots of the San Francisco Human Rights Commission (HRC) go back to 1964, when the modern day civil rights movement manifested in San Francisco through demonstrations against hotels, supermarkets, drive-in theaters, and automobile showrooms that discriminated against African Americans. In early 1964, Mayor John F. Shelley appointed an interim committee on human relations, which subsequently recommended to the Board of Supervisors that a permanent Human Rights Commission be established.

Today, the Human Rights Commission advocates for human and civil rights, and works in service of the City’s anti-discrimination laws to further racial solidarity, equity, and healing. For over 60 years, HRC has grown in response to San Francisco’s mandate to address the causes of and problems resulting from prejudice, intolerance, bigotry, and discrimination through the following work:

• Advocating for human and civil rights
• Investigating and mediating discrimination complaints
• Resolving community disputes and issues involving individual or systemic illegal discrimination
• Providing technical assistance, information, and referrals to individuals, community groups, businesses and government agencies related to human rights and social services.
