Fargo Human Rights Commission plans outreach at Juneteenth, World Refugee Day; discusses "Know Your Rights" education
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.
