MISSION STATEMENT
The purpose of this organization shall be to promote a community that values human rights. We accomplish this purpose through actions that create awareness and understanding of our community's rich diversity. We reject discrimination and harassment based on such factors as race, color, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, national origin, age, gender, disability, socio-economic status, physical or mental ability or educational level.
Formed in 1993 in Placerville, California, this human rights group is a non-profit organization unaffiliated with any religious or political group, and made up of volunteers. In response to some actions of hatred and bias in our county, a concerned group of residents joined together to support diversity and the rights of all to exist in a non-threatening, non-prejudicial community.
