Orange County Human Relations Council

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

• Do students in our community still witness and experience bullying? Are they concerned about school safety?
• Are families and neighbors still faced with festering conflicts and impending costly court cases?
• Are residents still targets of discrimination, violent hate crimes, or even gang activity?
• Do members of our diverse local population still feel unheard and unsure of whom to go to for help in their communities?

 

The answer is YES.

There continue to be many people who need our help to address the variety of human relations challenges they face each day. And we are here to help. But we need your help, too.

 

PICTURE THIS

Our vision is clear: only by working together can we create an Orange County that promotes respect, empowers diverse communities, resolves conflict respectfully and advocates equal justice.  Can you picture it?

Imagine a world without bias and prejudice.

A place where people resolved conflict peaceably.

The type of place where silenced voices were heard and empowered.

A community where diverse leadership was the norm.

A world that uplifted respect and understanding, in place of division and bias.
