Rhode Island Commission For Human Rights
Share
The commission is the state's primary anti-discrimination law enforcement agency.
The commission was created by the RI General Assembly in 1949 and is one of the oldest state anti-discrimination agencies in the nation. We enforce Rhode Island's anti-discrimination laws in the areas of employment, housing, public accommodations, credit and delivery of services.

The words on the Statue of Liberty aren’t just history—
they’re a reminder of who we are meant to be.
✨ I lift my lamp beside the golden door.

Celebrating Women's History Month #
Your grandmother was born when…
Women couldn’t easily get credit in their own name.
Your mother grew up when…
Women were fighting for equal pay and workplace rights.
You were born when…
Women could open businesses, buy homes, and pursue careers freely.
Your daughters are growing up when…
Those rights are still being debated.
Progress matters.
History matters.
Women’s voices matter.

March 7, 1965.
They marched for a voice.
They marched for dignity.
They marched knowing the danger—and stepped forward anyway.
Because of their courage on that bridge, millions gained the right to vote.
Today we remember the footsteps that carried justice forward.
And the reminder that democracy is something we must keep walking toward.

The Women's Suffrage Procession, March 3, 1913: The Walk That Changed History 🤍
Over 5,000 women marched down Pennsylvania Avenue demanding the right to vote.
Today I’m thinking about the strength, grace, and courage it took to walk that parade route — long before it was popular, easy, or safe.
Because of them, we have a voice.
Because of them, we choose.
One brave decision.
One bold voice.
One person willing to stand up.
That’s how movements begin.
That’s how change spreads.
Let your courage be the spark. ✨
