2020 Human Rights Day Recognition
The Snohomish County Human Rights Commission honors outstanding community members and organizations annually at our Human Rights Day celebration, which was cancelled in 2020 due to Covid-19 restrictions. The year itself was challenging, with devastation from wildfires, uprisings against racial injustice, and the pandemic’s widespread impact on our collective health and economic security. With great challenges, though, came great opportunities for building community, for connecting with our neighbors, and for living our shared values. In lieu of singling out one organization or individual as the recipient of a 2020 Award, we instead choose to celebrate and acknowledge the tremendous work still being done by our past SCHRC Human Rights Day Awards nominees and recipients with a collective 2020 Honorable Mention Award. Our community—individual members, nonprofit and service organizations, business and community leaders—have rallied to support and encourage each other through the challenges of 2020. We thank each past and present individual and organization for their dedication and commitment to advocating for human rights in our Snohomish County community and world.
