The NYC Commission on Human Rights is offerings two virtual workshops for CUNY employees:
Human Rights Law, Racism and Other Forms of Discrimination Based on Race and Color on Tuesday, December 5th from 10:00AM - 12:00PM.
This workshop provides a historical context for race and color-based discrimination and how it has impacted the lives of New Yorkers, institutions, and the delivery of services and resources in New York City. The program educates New Yorkers on their rights and protections against discrimination under the Human Rights Law. Participants analyze concepts related to race and color, learn about efforts and resistance to combat racism, and ways to become the voices for social and racial justice.
and
Understanding the Jewish Experience and Antisemitism on Tuesday, January 9th from 10:00AM - 12:00PM.
This workshop promotes understanding of the City's diverse Jewish communities. The workshop addresses antisemitism, its impact on Jewish New Yorkers, and its impact on larger society. It introduces Jewish history and practices, outlines best practices in working with Jewish New Yorkers, and elaborates on the protections for Jewish New Yorkers against discrimination, under the City Human Rights Law.
Interested employees can register for the free workshops using the Upcoming Commission on Human Rights Workshop Registration Form NYC here.
