Description
Boston Human Rights Commission Public Meeting 7.21.22
A
A
A
So
very
brief:
my
report,
the
the
non-profit
tech
goes
home,
has
secured
two
millions
in
city
of
boston,
arpa
funds
to
advance
digital
inclusion
in
boston.
The
funds
were
directed
by
boston
city
council,
city
council
president
ed
flynn
and
city
councilors,
kensey
bach
and
julia
mejia
strongly
supported
public
investment
in
this
equity
initiative.
A
A
D
D
D
D
I
am
currently
working
with
the
city
analytics
team
here.
They're
going
to
create
a
dashboard
are
all
aware.
We
have
two
forms
located
on
our
website.
The
intake
form
and
the
anonymous
incident
report
form.
I
am
aiming
to
have
a
dashboard
created
for
the
intent
of
transparency,
so
this
dashboard
is
gonna
have
like
we've
received
30
intakes
and
seven
of
them
have
been
under.
D
Of
protected
class,
eight
of
them
have
been
religion.
I
also
would
like
them
to
create
a
map,
so
we
can
see
that
there
are
seven
coming
out
of
east
boston,
four
coming
out
of
matapan
and
trying
to
keep
track
like
that.
So
I
am
working
to
get
that
done
with
the
city
analytics
team
and
have
it
posted
on
our
website
soon.
D
I
also
previously
mentioned
in
a
past
meeting
that
the
opet
office,
the
office
of
police,
accountability
and
transparency
they're
having
a
coalition
around
an
rfp
that
they're
going
to
put
out
this
rfp
is
for
a
consultant.
That's
going
to
be
focusing
on
the
creation
of
equity
assessment
tools
to
evaluate
bpd's
policies
and
procedures,
and
also
a
semi-annual
report
on
bipart
bypoc,
hiring
promotion
and
evaluation.
A
F
C
D
I
think
it's
a
bit
that's
going
to
go
out
because
they're
looking
for
consultant,
but
they
want
help
with
writing
the
proposal
and
then
once
the
consultant
comes
up,
comes
on
the
call.
This
coalition
will
stay
on
to
come
up
with
kind
of
like
a
benchmark
plan
on
how
the
consultant
like
what
the
what
things
that
they
should
hit
with
their
time
during
their
consulting.
D
D
D
Next,
I
also
have
mentioned
this.
In
the
past.
We
have
started
a
referral
partnership
with
the
bpd
civil
rights
unit,
so
any
intakes
that
do
not
amount
to
that
of
a
crime
or
the
individual
doesn't
want
to
pursue
the
matter
in
the
courts.
They're
gonna
refer,
the
intake
to
us,
we've
received
two
or
three
to
date.
Amber
has
helped
those
individuals.
D
E
D
D
D
On
the
anti-hate
topic,
I
think
I
mentioned
this
in
the
last
meeting
and
I'm
still
trying
to
solidify
it,
but
I
am
using
so
los.
Angeles
currently
has
an
amazing
anti-hate
campaign.
I
think
they're
calling
it
and
where
they
have
a
direct
phone
number
for
hate
crimes
or
heat
incidents.
They
also
have
a
lot
of
outreach
material
and
what
a
hate
crime
is.
D
I
would
like
boston
to
have
the
same
thing,
so
I'm
hoping
to
put
a
get
put
together
a
proposal
on
how
a
anti-hate
campaign
could
look
for
for
boston
first,
getting
a
coalition
whether
it's
well.
I
think
everyone
should
be
in
the
coalition
from
different
perspectives,
schools,
law
enforcement,
academics
on
how
boston
can
help
prevent
and
react
properly
to
anti-hate
incidents.
D
D
Whether
it's
in
schools,
libraries,
bcyf
centers,
on
what
a
hate
crime
is
and
then
also
where
can
you
get
resources
because
a
lot
of
the
constituents
we've
re
interacted
with
is
I
didn't
know
this
office
existed
or
I
didn't
know,
I
could
go
there
or
I
thought.
If
something
happens
to
me,
I
only
could
go
to
the
police
and
that's.
F
D
A
D
D
D
We
have
also
signed
up
for
a
mediation
training
for
the
fall
along
with
a
sexual
harassment
and
public
accommodation
training.
I
think
the
trainings
are
really
beneficial
for
us.
If
we're
going
to
go
out
and
help
individuals,
we
need
to
know
what
employment
discrimination
looks
like
in
order
to
help
those
residents
and
visitors
of
boston.
So
we
have
been
continuing
with
those
and
once
we
get
our
new
staff
member,
we'll
jump
right
into
the
trainings
too,
because
they
also
will
be
trained.
D
F
E
C
G
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Thank
you
for
the
important
work
that
you
and
the
commissioners
are
doing.
Thank
you
to
thank
you
and
susie
as
well
for
her
professionalism
and
leadership
on
this
important
issue.
I
have
the
opportunity
to
listen
to
the
comments
from
you
from
all
of
you
over
over
the
last
several
minutes.
G
G
Even
physical.
Assaults
on
elderly
asian
women
happened
here
in
boston
in
in
many
many
of
the
times
the
the
the
victim
didn't
want
to
go
forward.
So
I
just
wanted
to
let
you
know
and
again
you.
You
know
this
issue
issue
much
better
than
I
do,
but
the
work
you
play
here
is
critical
because,
even
though
we
live
in
the
most
progressive
city,
probably
in
the
country,
hate
crimes
and
intimidation
against
immigrants
happen
here
against
communities
of
color
happen
here
against
persons
with
disabilities
and
immigrants.
G
And
so
it's
it's
important
to
talk
about
these
issues.
But
it's
also
important,
as
as
I
mentioned,
to
susie
and
some
of
the
mayor's
team
to
make
sure
residents
know
exactly
what
the
human
rights
commission
does,
how
you
interact
with
the
human
rights
commission,
its
purpose,
how
you
go
about
interacting
with
it,
whether
it's
through
the
form
over
the
internet
but
making
sure
residents,
do
know
about
the
important
role
and
work
the
human
rights
commission
has
played
in
our
city.
G
G
G
The
asian
community,
downtown
boston
and
the
south
end,
as
you
know,
as
a
large
lgbt
community
and
across
the
street
from
copley
copley
green
orange
line,
is,
is
public
housing
there
is
tent
city
really
and
which
is
a
large
development
of
residents
of
residents
of
color.
So
they
really,
you
know,
intimidated
a
lot
of
people
assaulted
people,
but
that
was
that.
Would
that
just
goes
to
show
you
that
boston
is
not
exempt
from
any
of
this
type
of
of
hate
and
they
did
the
same
thing
at
a
hospital.
G
It
was
brigham
and
women.
Some
doctors
were
doing
a
study
on
on
health
inequities,
doctors
of
color
and
they
they
did
the
same
thing.
They
try
to
intimidate
the
doctors,
so
I'm
going
to
stop
there
and
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
commissioners
to
the
chair
to
to
susie
to
the
mayor's
office,
because
I
know
you
wouldn't
be
here.
If
you
didn't
take
this
issue
seriously
and
the
the
role
you
play
is
going
to
help
a
lot
of
people
in
boston.
C
A
G
A
I'll
say
equally
president
council
or
ed
flynn
that
the
human
rights
commission,
it's
will
start
immediately
putting
the
base
for
an
anti-hate
campaign.
The
executive
director
is
already
working
at
it.
We
are
going
to
also
conduct
research
on
that
very
same
topic
in
boston
and
we
will
be
in
touch
with
you
and
with
the
other
counselors
as
we
progress
on
this,
but
we
will
start.
We
have
already
started
working
and
we
will
shift
our
attention,
if
necessary,
from
any
other
project
that
we
might
have.
G
A
Okay,
wonderful.
The
next
item
in
the
agenda
is
the
discussion
and
vote
of
the
bylaws
right.
So
we
have
two
votes
tonight.
One
is
a
statement
and
the
other
one
is
the
bylaws.
We
can
start
with
the
bylaws
and
quickly
move
to
this
statement,
or
we
can
do
the
the
opposite.
I
know
that
robert
needs
to
go
early,
so
I
would
like
to
well:
should
we
open
with
the
bylaws
okay?
So
the
floor
is
open.
Any
of
you
please
jump
in.
I.
F
E
F
D
F
F
Looked
at
a
lot
of
bylaws
in
in
my
life,
from
ward
committees
and
on
board
of
directors
and
non-profits,
and
these
are
clear,
concise-
and
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
all
the
hard
work
that
went
into
this.
I
know
bylaws
can
be
working
on
them
can
be
unrewarding,
but
this
was
a
critical
step
in
moving
forward
the
human
rights
commission
in
the
right
direction,
and-
and
thank
you
for
this.
E
No,
I'm
just
I'm
just
happy
that
we're
getting
to
a
place
of
stability
and
focus
so
that
we
can
really
start
to
get
this
work.
That's
much
needed
done,
especially
under
susie's
leadership.
I'm
just
excited
to
be
you
know
back
in
the
fold
and
doing
what
we're
supposed
to
do.
You
know
I'm
I'm
excited.
B
No,
I'm
just
going
to
make
a
motion
that
we
accept
the
bylaws
as
presented
and-
and
I
also
want
to
echo
congratulations-
that
everyone
who
worked
on
them-
they
bylaws
are
never
fun
to
to
work.
But
when
we
don't
have
them,
you
can't
get
anything
done
oftentimes.
So
I
just
wonder
how
much
I
appreciate
them
getting
done
and
we're
in
a
great
puts
us
in
a
really
good
position.
A
F
F
F
A
B
I
think
it's
a
good
statement.
I
just
want
to
echo,
I
think,
the
as
the
council
president
highlighted
the
incidents
are
increasing
and
the
incident
with
the
nazis
assaulting
someone
after
the
police
after
the
police
were
notified,
is
very
concerning,
and
I
think
that
there's
a
space
for
us
to
possibly
continue
to
follow
up
on
that,
while
not
getting
involved
in
an
investigation
that
can
affect
a
criminal
investigation
right.
B
I
do
think
that
we
have
there's
been
a
very
a
significant
amount
of
concern
registered
about
the
lack
of
proactive
involvement
or
protection
of
citizens
after
being
notified
of
a
group
of
people
who
clearly
posed
a
threat
who
clearly
had
intentions
of
possible
unknown
intentions,
but
clearly
created
a
crime
by
assaulting
someone,
and
while
we
oftentimes
may
forget
the
important
role
the
media
plays.
If
it
wasn't
for
one
photo
being
taken,
this
would
have
might
have
gone,
not
reported.
B
Since
again,
the
police
did
not
let,
from
my
understanding
of
public
reports,
that
the
police
did
not
have
eyes
to
see
the
crime
take
place
is
very
concerning,
and
I
think,
there's
serious
questions
that
need
to
be
answered,
and
my
hope
is.
The
police
are
very
clear
about
who,
in
which
decision,
who
was
making
a
decision
to
allow
this
to
continue
and
then
who
made
a
decision
not
to
protect
the
citizens
of
boston
and
why
that
decision
was
made,
and
I
hope
it's
not
made
again,
because
I
feel
in
fear.
B
A
A
What
is
the
next
item?
Susie?
I
think
we
are.
It's
actually
public
comments,
