We're Neighbors Helping One Another
We sent a short questionnaire on behalf of our organization and stakeholders to Oklahoma City city council candidates. Their participation was completely voluntary and at anytime, they could choose not to complete the questionnaire or skip a question.
The responses are published as-is and can be found here. If a candidate's responses are not listed, they choose not to respond. If you have any inquiries or concerns, please contact okc4hr@gmail.com.
About Communities for Human Rights, OKC
We are OKC4HR, or Communities Supporting Human Rights, Oklahoma City. A nonpartisan, grassroots coalition of neighbors concerned about racism and discrimination and the impact that has on the quality of life of Oklahoma City residents.
​
Racism is a public health issue. In our increasingly diverse city, there is important work to be done. We recognize that our City cannot do it all on its own, however it can catalyze change. Our local government has the power, influence and resources to achieving racial equity.
​
We support Black Live Matter's mission and stand against violence and systemic racism towards black people.
Our Campaign
A majority of Americans believe in and support human rights. This is evident as 67 of the largest 100 cities in the United States use a board or commission to investigate, educate, and enforce human and civil rights. Although we are one of the top 25 largest cities, the Oklahoma City is not one of those cities with an established human rights board or commission.
8 Minutes and 46 Seconds. This coalition was formed after the untimely death of George Floyd, who was killed in police custody. The project is in his and others' memories.
​
This historic moment is an opportunity for Oklahoma City to address and advance the fundamental human rights of its residents, thereby improving quality of life for all.
