Public Forum to Inform Community Resiliency Against
Hate
Wednesday, April 21, 6:00pm to 9:00pm
University of
Oregon Downtown Baker Center, 975 High St.
The City of Eugene's Human Rights Commission and Police
Commission are collaborating to present a public forum, Community Conversations:
What is a Hate Crime? and What you can Do! The
forum is on Wednesday, April 21 from 6:00pm to 9:00pm at the University of
Oregon Downtown Baker Center at 975 High Street. This event is free and open to the public. Doors
open at 5:30.
·
The forum will open with a distinguished panel to build
awareness and understanding of hate crimes and the impacts of hate and bias in
communities. Diane Sykes, who heads the Oregon Department of Justice Civil
Rights Program, will be joined by David Fidanque of American Civil Liberties
Union, Chicora Martin of the University of Oregon LGBTQ Educational Support
Services, and Dr. Randy Blazak of the Coalition Against Hate Crimes.
Following the panel, break-out groups will be facilitated by
Human Rights and Police Commissioners, and will include local and regional
leaders from the field. These sessions will encourage discussion about
preventing and responding to hate activity. Themes of the break-out groups
include: Action in Schools; Public Safety and Hate Crimes Law; Neighborhoods
and Community Action; and a proposal for an Anti-Hate Resolution and other
possible government leadership actions.
Following the event, information and resources from the
forum will be posted to the Police Commission and Human Rights Commission web
sites, and will be presented to the Eugene City Council in mid-May.
