Purpose

To foster mutual self-respect and understanding and promote amicable relations among all racial, religious, and ethnic groups. The Commission educates and counsels in the area of civil rights enforcement.

More work is always needed to support fairness, equity, procedural justice, transparency and accountability – the values that build trust.  Therefore, the Livonia Human Relations Commission is being reconstituted in 2020 with the following charge:

• To ensure everyone is treated fairly—regardless of race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, disability, or any other identity.

• To shed a brighter light on racial and social injustice that permeates all communities, including Livonia.

• To activate the next generation to shape the strategies that will lead to ending racism and social injustice.
