Community Task force (dissolved)
![Community Task Force City of Hayward community members](https://www.hayward-ca.gov/sites/default/files/basic-pages/Untitled-1_0.jpg)
Purpose of the Task force
Recent increased tension nationwide have created concerns locally for residents, elected officials and others about human rights, civil rights, and the safety of community members who face increased discrimination based on their political affiliation, economic status, place of origin, immigration status, religion, race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation and other personal characteristics.
On January 17, 2017, City officials established a limited term Community Task Force to address these concerns. The task force is comprised of community members who represent our diverse Hayward community. The Community Task Force members will assist staff with reviewing, evaluating, and updating the 1992 Hayward Anti-Discrimination Action Plan (ADAP) and will also play a key leadership role in facilitating community conversations to gather insights and experiences from our community about human relations issues.
