Human Relations Commission

The Morris County Human Relations Commission promotes celebrating diversity, communication, and appreciation for the many ethnic and cultural influences on our communities. A great many cultures are represented in Morris County and our communities and citizens benefit from the variety of people, customs, and traditions. Welcoming and understanding the diversity makes us a stronger county.

Some of the programs and projects in which the Human Relations Committee has participated include:

• Charter member of the New Jersey Coalition against Human Trafficking and partnering for the Stand against Human Trafficking on the Morristown Green.
• Supporting the “What Prejudice Means to Me” contest sponsored by the National Council of Jewish Women – West Morris Section
• Creating a diversity category at the MorristownGreen.com film festival and awarding a prize to the top film in that category
• Supporting immigrant students at the County College of Morris for in county residency tuition.
• Preparing a response protocol for crisis management for communities when a cultural issue arises, in order to assist with communication and resolution.

If you feel the need to DO SOMETHING about what has been going on related to ICE in our communities, then here is your opportunity. 

Pasted below is a flyer for an event sponsored by the Morris County Human Relations Commission.  There are more than enough reasons why this facility must not open in Roxbury, including the Inhumanity of these detention centers, the Environment, the Effect it will have on the people living in the community, the Loss of Tax Revenue to the community, and so on.   

This event, which will take place at the Roxbury Township Town Hall, will demonstrate that people are watching and that we don't want another Delaney Hall in Roxbury.  

I hope to see you there.  All the particulars are in the flyer.
