The Salt Lake City Human Rights Commission, under the direction of Mayor Ralph Becker and the Salt Lake City Council, is sponsoring a Dialogue on Discrimination Series. This series will promote city-wide discussion and encourage community involvement to help inform the development of public policies that are based on constituent input and factual evidence compiled through research.

We want to hear your stories. If you cannot attend a dialogue but would like to participate, you can send us your story online.
