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, Dec. 5 from 10:00am to noon
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.
Understanding the Jewish Experience and Antisemitism on Tuesday, Jan. 9 from 10:00am to noon
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 the larger society. It introduces Jewish history and practices, outlines most effective methods 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. Please note that both sessions will be hosted virtually via Teams. Attendees will receive a calendar invite with the link to the sessions the day before the scheduled workshop.
