Este Mes de la Herencia Hispana, reflexionamos sobre cómo las comunidades latinas han contribuido a la ciudad de Nueva York y siguen inspirando el futuro.

La Comisión de Derechos Humanos de la Ciudad de Nueva York celebra estas contribuciones y la vitalidad, el liderazgo y la resiliencia de los neoyorquinos hispanos y latinos en nuestra ciudad.

También queremos que los neoyorquinos sepan que están protegidos.

La Ley de Derechos Humanos de la Ciudad de Nueva York prohíbe la discriminación por origen nacional, estatus migratorio, idioma, raza y más. Si ha sufrido o presenciado discriminación, estamos aquí para servirle.

The NYC Human Rights Law prohibits discrimination based on national origin, immigration status, language, race, and more. If you have experienced or witnessed discrimination, give us a call at 212-416-0197.

25 years later, we remember the lives lost on September 11.

We honor the families, first responders, and recovery workers who are forever changed by that day. We reflect on the courage and community of New Yorkers who showed the world the importance of standing together.

Service animals aren’t pets; they’re essential partners that help New Yorkers with disabilities navigate our city independently.

The NYC Human Rights Law protects the right of people with disabilities to be accompanied by their service animals in public places, including public transportation.

Know your rights. Know the difference. 🐾

Under the leadership of Commissioner and Chair Christine Clarke, NYC Commission on Human Rights has issued four final rulings in rapid succession 💨 finding that an employer, landlords, and real estate brokers violated the New York City Human Rights Law by discriminating against New Yorkers trying to practice their faith, access housing, and obtain accommodations for their disabilities. Together, the decisions order over $682,000 in damages and civil penalties, and require corrective measures designed to prevent future discrimination. 💪🏽

Housing discrimination has no place in New York City.

Commissioner Christine Clarke and Deputy Mayor Deputy Mayor Julie Su stepped into the storied walls of The Tenement Museum to reaffirm a simple but powerful message: your immigration or citizenship status should never determine whether you have access to housing.

If you believe you’ve experienced housing discrimination, contact the NYC Commission on Human Rights. Call 311 and ask for the Commission or visit NYC.gov/HumanRights.

A proposed rule from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development would remove long-standing protections that help ensure equal access to housing and shelter, regardless of s*xual orientation or gender identity. The rule would determine eligibility for housing and shelter based on a person's s*x assigned at birth, disproportionately affecting transgender, nonbinary, and gender-nonconforming individuals.

In practice, this could force people into shelters that do not align with their gender identity, subject them to invasive questioning, and increase the risk of discrimination, harassment, or violence during times of crisis.

CGE joined the NYC Commission on Human Rights and other city agencies in writing a public comment to urge the federal government to withdraw this proposed rule. We remain committed to advancing policies that protect the rights, safety, and well-being of all New Yorkers and ensuring equitable access to housing and shelter.
