Join us for an evening dedicated to healing our community. #NoHateDC
The DC Office of Human Rights (OHR) and Commission on Human Rights, in collaboration with the DC Office of the Attorney General's High School Advisory Council (HSAC), will host an evening of dissecting and processing the current cultural and political landscape, and inspiring DC youth as they shape their own futures.
The distinguished panelists include community leaders and professionals whose life work focuses on social equity and progress. Navigating hate requires teamwork across industries and we are thrilled to learn from their expertise.
Be sure to follow OHR on Instagram for more exciting event updates.
