This crisis Steve Franks, Director, OCCR intervention became the top priority of our organization last year and a model of community-wide collaboration for better human OC Human Relations relations. Commission When Anaheim was rocked with increased gang violence and Carol Turpen, Chair police shootings, OC Human Relations was there to facilitate a Ken Inouye, Vice-Chair critical dialogue between police and the community, torn over the Ellen Ahn rumors regarding the death of Angel Hernandez. Ruben Barron Nadia Bettendorf As the Jewish community reacted with outrage over perceived Vince DeVargas anti-Semitic comments by a Santa Ana councilmember, OC Becky Esparza Human Relations mediated and brought the Latino and Jewish Tim Kowal communities together in a long overdue dialogue. Leslie K. Le As headlines exploded with the deadly shooting of Sikhs at their Dave Maggard Ki Hong Park temple in Wisconsin, the Commission’s outreach to the Sikh and C. William Wood Muslim communities in Orange County and ensuing educational Doug Wooley initiative to the community at large became particularly poignant. Together we can face these challenges, but we must remain vigilant in our investment in human relations programs that OC Human Relations Build Community by Fostering Respect, Resolving Conflict, Mission: To foster and Pursuing Equality. We believe that it is only through this mutual understanding investment that we have the human relations infrastructure in among residents and place, and are ready ourselves to turn conflict into learning, transform crisis into community building, and pursue the justice eliminate prejudice, we all desire in the world. intolerance and discrimination in order to make Orange County a better place for ALL Carol Turpen, Chair Jim McQueen, President people to live, work and OC Human Relations Board of Directors do business.

3 Fostering Respect

Listening Sessions Report Taken to Every City n the aftermath of 9/11, Sikhs and Muslims were targets of hate crime in unprecedented numbers. The OC HumanI Relations Commission created Listening Sessions to determine the status of Sikhs and Muslims 10 years after this tragically misguided spate of hate crimes targeted them. The listening sessions were held after services at Sikh Gurdwaras and Muslim Mosques to hear directly from these communities. Over the last year, OC Human Rela- tions made presentations to every City Council in Orange County to present the findings of that report. Additionally, every school superintendent was delivered a copy showing the high level of bullying and harassment Sikh and Muslim children are experiencing in our schools.
