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.

In addition, the Seattle Human Rights Commission invites our 2022 Awardees to share in more depth their work, and provide an opportunity to interact with participants. We look forward to welcoming you to participate, or come to learn about how Seattle reaffirms its commitment to being a Human Rights City.
The virtual meeting link will be provided on the Seattle Human Rights Committee website.
The event is free and open to the public. Note: All bags will be checked at the door.
