\"From January until now I have been attacked by the police and I don't even know if I should have been here today because they used their intimidation tactics just a week ago on me with 5 officers for no reason,\" the commenter, who identified himself as Ryan, said during the public‑comment portion of the meeting.

Ryan said the interactions have made him fearful for his safety and that he believes law‑enforcement actions have been expensive and poorly documented. He asked for additional time to present his full account; the chair, Sekou Sarlip, said the commission was time‑limited during the meeting but offered to meet with the commenter after the session and to add the matter to the July agenda.

\"I can personally assure you that we will include you in the July agenda,\" Sarlip said. He and other commissioners offered to meet with Ryan after the meeting to discuss his allegations in more detail. No formal investigation, finding or action was announced at the meeting.

The remarks were made during the public‑comment period and represent the speaker's allegations. The commission's response, as recorded in the meeting, was to offer a one‑on‑one follow‑up and to schedule the speaker for the commission's July meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Fargo City Human Rights Commission - 06.19.2025","oneSentenceSummary","A member of the public told the Fargo Human Rights Commission he has been intimidated by police and sought commission assistance; the chair offered a private follow‑up meeting and said the commission would add the matter to the July agenda.","taxTitle","Fargo , Cass County, North Dakota","taxId",2742,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6165760,"Fargo Human Rights Commission plans outreach at Juneteenth, World Refugee Day; discusses \"Know Your Rights\" education",87,1752000,1839000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5417892-54302650fc70483313841928301d8ed1&start=1752&end=1839","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5417892-54302650fc70483313841928301d8ed1/thumbnail_1752000.jpg","/articles/6165760/Fargo/Cass-County/North-Dakota/Fargo-Human-Rights-Commission-plans-outreach-at-Juneteenth-World-Refugee-Day-discusses-Know-Your-Rights-education","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6165760-a0909ef1815cac97e14408fccb0a1563/orig.mp4?Expires=1771135521&Signature=ISy7pULYxTBXIKEGKcSTMtLA-F-LeZvl8AJNnW-urwGAAryZ6hscBu1us0CRvaW2QAQ6iWtR-6CGdbQ8tErXwqWaVSJ-tKBFbW5zUAdC6z5jGeUiT-ME6nmkmeRvZKPaOldFFX~ciM8zPLTt8WTOG8-DOlBcQopAbZkvzcb2~1hiig20cVgHsUWszQSZ5IuOjKlCbKoyLeQk49aQ0TFx1C0YIx693ydBhdutgrHzmpJYYESvcGJqesq-oA1qVQFO7TCxvjtmKzWMbua-qSZ0dDIOlYuQCKE35-0yU4z6KOMU44Ewheiw7IVPPMJtmRtcwzqfvGbwPOXB1hO0sioihQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Fargo Human Rights Commission used its June 19 meeting to plan outreach for two near-term community events and to discuss relaunching a Know Your Rights public-education effort.

\"02:30 is the latest for us to set up,\" Commission member Zoe Apsi said about the Juneteenth block-party setup time shared by event staff; she told the commission booths and the resource fair would begin at 3 p.m. Commission members agreed to staff booths and asked for printed materials.

Zoe Apsi also told the commission that World Refugee Day was scheduled at Roe Farm and discussed volunteer staffing for that event. \"World Refugee Day is tomorrow at Roe Farm, and we do have a booth available to us,\" she said, and noted logistics including the need to bring a table and chairs.

Brenda (administrative staff) said she had updated the commission brochure and added a QR code based on prior layout work and offered to have printed copies available for commissioners to pick up before upcoming events. \"The brochure is already almost done,\" she said; Sekou Sarlip and others agreed to condense copy so materials could be printed for immediate distribution.

Commissioners discussed past outreach materials, including pins, buttons and a tablecloth created for MLK Day that could not be located after the event, and asked staff to check with event venues and staff for storage. Members also proposed re-creating a standing education committee or a sign-up sheet to coordinate topics, volunteers and takeaway items for outreach tables.

On public‑education priorities, commissioners identified the \"Know Your Rights\" campaign as a continuing need for immigrant communities and discussed partnering with local groups such as public‑health organizers, the League of Women Voters or community legal‑education efforts. Sekou Sarlip urged commissioners to identify community organizations and contacts to help reach communities that do not routinely attend government events.

Commissioners agreed to share flyers and contact information by email for near‑term events and to circulate a proposed sign‑up for future committees and outreach responsibilities. No formal policy action or funding decisions were taken during the discussion.","Commission members reviewed upcoming outreach events, asked staff for updated brochures and QR codes, and discussed restarting a Know Your Rights campaign and committee-based planning for outreach materials and staffing.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6165765,"Life Cares Unite Foundation presents Fargo‑Moorhead hygiene bank serving neighborhood partners",241,895000,1136000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5417892-54302650fc70483313841928301d8ed1&start=895&end=1136","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5417892-54302650fc70483313841928301d8ed1/thumbnail_895000.jpg","/articles/6165765/Fargo/Cass-County/North-Dakota/Life-Cares-Unite-Foundation-presents-FargoMoorhead-hygiene-bank-serving-neighborhood-partners","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6165765-74c896af5f41278f6e09b5d30e7a7e8f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771135521&Signature=dlMs8Pe70xbq6w4e7kteQoGOY7dDGswqX0403q3JrHcmN6O~DgmTdxRXx-YaZePwVpYutXYpM7M9xFlwzjFRF1Y6BmORjUH8w-5DzG0ui-dzRHoIm8IDC6AdMJpDH95ICpbl1qO9tBk7uRFJyqauoe1~3kT7ALCoJPb1n9Iv1R6jlci0VAchGjQnYfesgSi4OfVLZ-CwpQTM6HhvLU7-GA-iVC9~urYxvSW5A5HnM6oYDzZvt~r8oOT8e9PIu9WGXTIddXtiLT443BRdzQT7E45k9ixPilTjt2S1GWf818Np0X29kOp8UUy-yiO7gs0lCJfpFmG-leCDpgPbRr9QRA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Life Cares Unite Foundation described a fledgling Fargo‑Moorhead hygiene bank to the Human Rights Commission on June 19, saying the effort supplies free hygiene items at multiple community pickup locations and partners with local small businesses, churches and nonprofit sites.

\"There's no application. It is, you said you needed it. It looks like we have it. We're gonna give it to you,\" Katrina Robinson, executive director at Life Cares Unite Foundation, said while presenting to the commission. Robinson and Rhonda Gilbertson Evans, executive assistant for the foundation, said the program emphasizes dignity and low‑barrier access.

Gilbertson Evans said the foundation — a 501(c)(3) founded in North Dakota in 2021 — has local board representation and is working with four community organizations across the Cass‑Clay metropolitan area. She read a list of partner pickup/drop‑off locations and thanked local partners by name, including a childcare center in Horace, Roots Hair and Soul in Fargo, Church of God's Word in West Fargo and A Place for Hope in Moorhead; she said Native Inc downtown Fargo is an additional location.

Robinson said the foundation's organizers began their work during the COVID‑19 pandemic and that the program fills a regional gap in hygiene access. \"Our community of about 260,000 people is in a vulnerable hygiene situation,\" she said, attributing the population figure to the Cass‑Clay metropolitan area.

The foundation provided paper bags of hygiene items for commissioners to inspect and invited commission members and other local service providers to volunteer, donate items and collaborate on distribution plans. Robinson said the organization is active on social media and has a website with volunteer and donation information.

Commission members asked about logistics and how people locate services; Robinson pointed to a list on the materials given to the commission and reiterated that items can be dropped off at the listed locations or picked up there.

Commissioners praised the foundation's model, asked for business cards or brochures for outreach, and discussed potential collaboration with shelters and other service providers for future distribution.

No formal commission action was taken during the presentation.","Life Cares Unite Foundation told the Human Rights Commission it operates a Fargo‑Moorhead hygiene bank with five drop‑off/pickup locations and no formal application process, aiming to address hygiene access gaps across the Cass‑Clay metropolitan area.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6165769,"Nonprofit Resource Connect outlines free rides, job supports for Fargo area residents",103,278000,381000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5417892-54302650fc70483313841928301d8ed1&start=278&end=381","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5417892-54302650fc70483313841928301d8ed1/thumbnail_278000.jpg","/articles/6165769/Fargo/Cass-County/North-Dakota/Nonprofit-Resource-Connect-outlines-free-rides-job-supports-for-Fargo-area-residents","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6165769-65a3dced2b081879295a2e11150aac5e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771135521&Signature=YKgDTE2GrxcxoNzvqQjIRFjAQ7xy5xH8h69x~zNHlCAw5p5higLNtqAACBaj~cVcg5v24ZLCIsw4ll36LZP83G92q96aL6DmB3-Zkv3BzwTbFV4N3WR5~-CEROkCzue6y6aU2dM9hb-~PqXMznxFu707YnSDiPZS~iTguWou14-vZez9RpEHMH~cpyHzwRkUAgNeswOAYNB~r1h~8sm3OW0MRMpSk-6lNNQcrXaLUIR8GmThFB5STaj3rQ~cE6WPGkowaOPMcQvK7ipetaZc3phxyNTDhC4GLsp09q64-uVyJViXvPIDejb8FbsH7k7mDNs8UhHBeY9U2s-fKBohIw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Resource Connect, a small nonprofit based in Moorhead, told the Fargo Human Rights Commission on June 19 that it provides free transportation to and from work and job interviews, free work attire and basic computer-literacy services for residents across the Fargo–Moorhead area.

\"We provide bus passes, we provide gas cards, we provide pickup to and from so we'll pick you up from your home, we'll drop you off to work,\" Rachelle Oboa, engagement director for Resource Connect, said during her presentation to the commission. She said the group also helps with minor vehicle repairs and partners with local employers to improve employment opportunities.

The organization said it serves Dilworth, Moorhead, Fargo, West Fargo, Horace and surrounding areas and that some services are available on an emergency basis — for example, when a car breaks down and a client needs a ride to work the same day.

Oboa said eligibility focuses on people facing financial hardship. \"All we need is a pay stub or an offer letter or an interview date and time,\" she said. She added that social-worker referrals are prioritized.

The commission and Oboa discussed program limits and capacity. Oboa said longer-term ride support currently runs about three weeks to one month but that Resource Connect hopes to offer open-ended long-term rides once it secures an additional vehicle. She also said Resource Connect does not currently operate wheelchair-accessible vehicles and asked the commission and community to consider donations of passenger vans that are wheelchair-accessible.

On vehicle repairs, Oboa said Resource Connect partners with a volunteer mechanic, Justin G Auto Repair, to perform donated labor while the nonprofit pays for parts when repairs are approved. She said the organization verifies address and employment to confirm eligibility before arranging service.

Oboa described current funding sources as a mix of local grants and donations; during the meeting she thanked Marvin Windows and North Dakota Commerce for recent support. The commission asked about printed materials and outreach; commissioners suggested clarity in brochures about ride accessibility and eligibility caps.

Resource Connect asked for volunteer drivers and clothing and tool donations for its work-attire program.

The commission did not take a formal vote on the presentation but discussed potential outreach at upcoming community events and encouraged Resource Connect to provide handouts for partner agencies and shelters.

The commission's chair and members said they would follow up on volunteer and outreach opportunities.","Resource Connect told the Fargo Human Rights Commission it offers free transportation, work clothing and limited vehicle repairs for people facing financial hardship and is recruiting volunteers and donations.","actionData","errors"]
