Communications and Visibility
The Communications & Visibility Ad Hoc will support the Commission on Human Rights (CHR), the County, and the broader community by sharing human rights information, data reports, newsletters, and outreach materials, while strengthening the Commission’s social media, website presence, and community engagement efforts. A major focus of this work is the Visibility Project, which includes the human rights violation tracking survey and related data collection efforts.
As part of Sonoma County’s larger network of nonprofits, commissions, committees, and advocacy organizations, this ad hoc seeks to promote accessible human rights education, increase awareness of local issues, and strengthen collaboration among community partners. Through public communications, campaigns, and educational materials, the committee aims to foster meaningful relationships and connect residents with available human rights resources and support systems.
Key goals of the Communications & Visibility Ad Hoc include updating CHR information on the County website, promoting the CHR newsletter, sharing findings from the Visibility Project, and increasing participation in the human rights violation tracking survey. The committee will also provide regular updates to the CHR and collaborate on strategies to improve public outreach and accessibility.
The committee will promote:
• Community resource providers and human rights advocates
• The County, Youth Commission on Human Rights, CHR, and J/CSW
• The Visibility Project’s human rights violation tracking survey
• Data on reported human rights violations in Sonoma County from 2019–2025

• Human rights education materials and outreach campaigns
• Brochures, tabling materials, and promotional resources
