We joined the December 3 City Counsel meeting alongside other community organizations working to address human rights issues in the city. It was an honor to be alongside these remarkable organizations including Only in San José, All Things Disability Equity, and the Tahirah Justice Center as they too received proclamations for their work.
Thank you to everyone who came out to show support for the SJSU HRI on this meaningful day.
