CCHR launched a citywide public awareness campaign celebrating the City’s rich diversity as part of the Commission’s 50th Anniversary educational efforts. The campaign is another key element in CCHR’s intense efforts to alert those who live, work, and visit here to the Commission’s work, the Human Rights Law and how to fi le a discrimination complaint. The campaign reinforces the message of the City’s rich diversity, spirit of unity, and long-standing history of tolerance.

The posters - From Many Countries, One City - were displayed throughout the City at 80 bus shelters in November and 50 telephone kiosks in December. In January and February 2006, 220 bus shelter posters and 41 telephone kiosk posters will be on view citywide. Nearly 5 million people will view the posters each day. CCHR is grateful for the assistance of NYC Marketing, a local development corporation created by Mayor Bloomberg.
