We Urge the Federal Government To Respect Basic Human Rights
STATEMENT OF SOLIDARITY
- The Burbank Human Relations Council (BHRC) is a community based organization founded in 1958. We seek to foster good human relations by promoting universal respect for human rights, civil liberties and fundamental freedoms.
- We stand in solidarity with Los Angeles County Commission on Human Relations and the Board of Supervisors in calling upon the federal government to uphold fundamental human rights. We condemn the use of unwarranted and unconstitutional military force, and the federal government’s alarming disregard for due process.
- BHRC has joined with the City of Burbank, the Burbank Unified School District and the faith community in educating our community on their constitutional rights. Together we are stronger and united in our support of vulnerable immigrant communities.
- BHRC envisions the city of Burbank as a beloved community in which all people live in peace -- free from fear, oppression, hunger and hate.

BHRC Proposed to Burbank City Council
ADOPTED: BHRC proposed Sundown Town Resolution to Burbank City Council
In November 2020 BHRC met with Burbank City Council Members
We reviewed BHRC history, some areas of focus, plans for community engagement including Stand Against Hate initiative, Neighborhood Sign Campaign, and 2021 Community Dialogues. We presented action items for consideration including a Sundown Town Resolution ( see below). The Council Council adopted the resolution on Tuesday DECEMBER 8, 2020!
The resolution set forth a commitment to review City policies and practices through an anti-racist lens, and engage with the community on issues of racism, discrimination and social justice.
