We receive complaints, investigate them, and try to solve problems when we find discrimination.
The Baltimore City Community Relations Commission (CRC) is a government group that helps people who have been treated unfairly because of who they are. We enforce laws that protect people from discrimination in different areas like jobs, places open to the public, housing, schools, and health and welfare services.
It's against the law to discriminate based on things like race, color, religion, where you're from, age, family history, gender, disability, who you love, and how you express yourself in Baltimore.
The CRC receives complaints, looks into them, and tries to solve problems when they find discrimination. They also make sure that agreements to stop discrimination are followed. Sometimes, they handle cases from the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) against private and government employers in Baltimore because they work together.
The Commissioners
The Baltimore Community Relations Commission has 10 members chosen by the Mayor and City Council. They don't get paid for their work. Each year, they pick one member to be the Chair. The Chair and the other members work to stop discrimination in all parts of our community.
