MAHRC

The Massachusetts Association of Human Rights and Relations Commission (MAHRC) is an organization of municipal and grassroots agencies responsible for promoting human and civil rights and harmonious relationships among diverse groups at a local level.

The mission of the MAHRC is to provide local and statewide leadership in the areas of human rights and intergroup relations. The MAHRC accomplishes this charge by promoting networking initiatives, developing educational strategies and model programs; and serving as a resource for new and existing human rights and relations commissions.

The City of Medford leads a statewide monthly meeting of representatives of Human Rights organizations on the second Friday of every month (EXCEPT July & August) from 9:30AM – 11:30AM in Room 201 ofMedford City Hall. We work on various projects and network. For more information go to www.mahrc.org.
