Town Hall Seattle's video: City of Seattle and the UW Center for Human Rights present: Human Rights Day 2022

In collaboration with Town Hall Seattle, the City of Seattle, and Human Rights Day planning partners and sponsors, join in amplifying and advocating for human rights in the region. The Seattle Human Rights Commission honors individuals, organizations, and coalitions at the annual Human Rights Day event the evening of Tuesday December 6, 2022 both virtually and at Town Hall. Awards are presented virtually and the program will take place in person. This ceremony is a powerful way to acknowledge the work of outstanding people who inspire us all throughout the region.

We look forward to welcoming you to participate, or come to learn about how Seattle reaffirms its commitment to being a Human Rights City.
