Engaging Faith Communities

Collage of NYCCHR Staff in communities with persons of different faiths

The Commission strives to ensure that people of every faith and religious expression are treated with the dignity and respect they deserve. More than 6 million people living in New York City practice some religion or faith. Working with houses of worship and faith communities continues to be a pillar of our work as we host events such as our Interfaith Seder, Iftar in the City, and roundtable discussions with faith leaders.
