Commissioner Carmelyn P. Malalis and other members of the New York City Commission on Human Rights senior staff periodically testify before the City Council on issues involving the Commission and the NYC Human Rights Law. Testimony from Calendar Year 2017.
The 2016 Annual Report from the New York City Commission on Human Rights highlights the Commission's accomplishments and growth throughout the calendar year. Across the agency - in law enforcement, community relations, policy, and communications - the Commission has been working to let vulnerable communities across the City know that it is fighting discrimination and hatred in their many forms. This leadership will continue. We look forward to partnering with you and the communities with which you work to ensure that New York City remains a welcoming environment for residents and visitors of all backgrounds and a champion for equity and inclusion. No one should be treated differently because of who they are, the color of their skin, where they are from, who they love, the faith they believe, or any number of factors that go into making New York City the diverse city that it is and a mecca for people rejecting hate. That belief is a core value in New York City, and the Commission on Human Rights will fight to protect it.
