The Human Rights Commission may opt to support, sponsor, and/or promote programming as follows Support: The Human Rights Commission may support programs or events whenever said programs or events reflect an established position of the Human Rights Commission.

Sponsor: The Human Rights Commission may sponsor or co-sponsor another’s program in the community, or in another community in the Twin Cities metropolitan area, whenever it decides to collaborate with another group in order to host a program in support of human or civil rights.
