The Palm Springs Human Rights Commission invites Coachella Valley residents to submit nominations for its annual Community Service Awards that recognize individuals and organizations for “Promoting Universal Human Rights Close to Home.”
The nomination form and the criteria are available online at www.pshumanrightscommission.com. The deadline for submitting nominations is Friday, Dec. 8. The awards recognize people and organizations for their work promoting human rights in our local community. The Commissioners themselves also make nominations.
The Commission is interested in learning about any local citizens or organizations that have worked or volunteered to foster equality, ensure human rights or have fought against hate crimes or any kind of ethnic, religious, sexual or other types of discrimination. The Commission requests that nominees be from the Coachella Valley. Please submit completed nomination forms to Jay.Virata@palmspringsca.gov
The Commission will present the awards at its Monday, Feb. 12, 2024 meeting which will be held at 5:30 p.m. in the Council Chamber at City Hall. The public is invited to attend.
