Human Rights Commission
About
The Human Rights Commission is dedicated to ensuring that Hamilton remains an inclusive and welcoming community, where everyone is treated with dignity and respect. Our core values center on freedom from discrimination, intolerance, bigotry, and all forms of aggression or oppression. We are committed to upholding and defending the rights of every individual, ensuring that all can fully enjoy the freedoms and privileges guaranteed by the U.S. and Massachusetts Constitutions.
The Select Board appoints seven at-large voting members to the commission. In addition to these members, the Hamilton Police Chief and the Director of the Council on Aging (COA) each hold a voting position. The Town Manager and the Student Member serve in an ex-officio role, providing advisory input without voting rights.
Meetings
HHRC Meetings are currently held on the 3rd Wednesday of the month at 5 P.M. We plan to continue facilitating attendance for the public via Zoom.
