<br />ROSEVILLE HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION <br /> <br />PROPOSED AGENDA FOR 1986-87 <br /> <br />Brenda Thomas <br /> <br />It is my goal to raise the profile of the Commission in the <br />community; not only to ensure that Roseville residents are aware <br />of our existence and our purpose, but to maintain a vital and <br />serious spirit within our Commission. It is my expectation that <br />this will be a working commission, concerned with three major <br />areas of activity: <br /> <br />3. <br /> <br />Understanding and carrying out the human rights mandate <br />as it is defined by the state of Minnesota <br /> <br />Ongoing analysis and policy development pertaining to <br />timely issues, for example the AIDS issue, the peace <br />movement, providing sanctuary for foreign political <br />dissidents <br /> <br />Public Relations. Our public relations are not limited <br />only to education, outreach and promoting the Commission, <br />but include our projected "image" or personae. Collec- <br />tively we serve as a "conscience" for the community <br />regardless of the political winds. <br /> <br />1. <br /> <br />2 . <br /> <br />Specific Recommendations for Further Development <br /> <br />1. The ROSEVILLE REVIEW is the official newspaper for the city. <br />The Commission can create a "column": <br /> <br />- News and information from the Commission <br />- Examples of No Fault Grievances <br /> <br />NEED: Coordinator to review actual grievances from our files <br />and the Department of Human Rights, to select examples to be <br />used in the column. Coordinator would also serve as editor <br />of the "column. <br /> <br />Likewise, a column could be created for the newsletter which <br />is i~sued periodically by the city of Roseville and mailed to <br />residents. Probably the same editor, or team editors. <br /> <br />2. Outreach and interface with schools, churches, and civic and <br />business organizations. The Bloomington Commission provides <br />a good model for this kind of outreach. <br /> <br />NEED: Speakers and speechwriters <br />Printed literature <br />Visual aids <br /> <br />3. Delegate to the League of Minnesota Human Rights Commissions <br />4. Liaison with-the Department of Human Rights <br /> <br />5. <br /> <br />An organized plan <br />rights occasions: <br />H~man Rights Day. <br /> <br />for observing important human and civil <br />Martin Luther King Day; International <br />O-ec. lJ-" Hv <br />
