RE: HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSIQliEROPOJWL_DISCUSSIONS
Wednesday, June 22. 1994 - 7:00 P.M.
County Commissioners' Board Room
First, we highly appreciate your efforts towards making the Human
Rights Commmission (HRC) Proposal Presentation a big success! It
was successful by nearly all accounts because (1) your
endorsements (over 30 organizations and 240 individuals)
reflected a broad constituency and (2) State and local human
rights professionals, along with some of you, did outstanding
jobs of clarifying the obvious need for, and advantages of having
a local human rights agency. Sometimes, as in this case, one
successful activity does not result in accomplishing the mission.
However, we believe that appropriat.e and immediate follow-up
activities will result in the creation of a Collier County HRC.
Secondly, we ask that you please attend the above meeting. It
will focus on identifying means of increasing and demonstrating
the broad based support that exists for the creation of a Collier
County Human Rights Commission. In the interim, CONTINUE the
following activities as appropriate:
L1L Endorsements - Mail, deliver or FAX endorsements to
Tom Whitecotton (BAAB Staff Liaison), Director of Human
Resources - Collier County Government Complex - Admin.
Building, Fifth Floor - Naples, Florida, 33962. (FAX: 774-
8048 or 775-5008; Telephone: 774-8759).
121- Petition SiEr~es - Same procedures as Endorsements.
(3) Contact County Commissioners to express your support
for the establishment of the Human Rights Commission. They
may be contacted as follows:
Mail and Physical Address:
Board of County Commissioners
Collier County Government Center
3301 Tamiami Trail East
Admin. Building, Third Floor
Naples, Florida 33962
Telephone and Fax Numbers:
774-8393 Chairman, Commissioner Constantine
774-8391 Vice Chairwoman, Commissioner Matthews
774-8389 Commissioner Norris
774-8392 Commissioner Saunders
774-8390 Commissioner Volpe
774-3602 FAX
Thirdly, and lastly, the protections to be expected from our own
HRC will definitely benefit the overwhelming majority of Collier
residents, and not just "minorities" as some say or think. A
great majority of discrimination complaints, at least in our
area, are not based on race or national origin. This is
reflected by the below data on charges that were filed with the
Miami District Office of the EEOC during fiscal year 1993.
Cateltory Number % of Total Charltes
Sex 1337 22
Age 1239 20
Race 1217 20
Disabi I i'l,y 738 12
National Origin 721 12
Retaliation (*) 598 10
Religion 132 2
Other 210 3
------
Totals 6192 101 (Due to Rounding)
*= A mixture of categories
Some of the highlights of the above data indicate:
1. Sex and Age discrimination accounted for 42% of all charges.
2. Sex, Age and Disability totalled 54% of all charges.
3. Disability was the basis for one (1) in eight (8) charges.
4. One (1) ln five (5) charges was based on race.
5. One (1) ln eight (8) charges was based on national origin.
6. Race and national origin combined accounted for only 32%
(1 in 3) of all charges.
Come and/or send representatives to the meeting to demonstrate
broad support and provide input on future initiatives! Let the
positive Collier County speak and be counted.
Call Henry (642-4759) or Anna (434-1975) for additional
information or to make suggestions and comments.
YOUR ACTIVE INVOLVEMENT. IS CRITICAL TQTHE SUCCESS OF THIS INITIATIVE!!

We support the Proposal by the Blacf; Affairs Advisory Board and Hispanic
