Provincetown Human Rights Resolution

Preamble. In recent years, we have seen our community become more diverse with an increase of summer seasonal workers, visitors and residents of different racial backgrounds and national origins. We, the Provincetown/Truro Interfaith Coalition of Congregations (P/TICC) and other town organizations, request the Provincetown Board of Selectmen to issue a resolution of human rights that affirms our community's acceptance of all individuals who come to our town, whether summer seasonal workers, visitors or residents. It is our hope that this human rights resolution will become the basis of community action to create and maintain a more welcoming environment that affirms and protects the inherent dignity and worth of every humankind.

Resolution. "The Town of Provincetown resolves that basic human rights and needs of all our community members, whether summer seasonal workers, visitors or residents be acknowledged and respected. The Town of Provincetown will join in partnership with the Provincetown/Truro Interfaith Coalition of Congregations (P/TICC) and other community organizations to promote and ensure fair economic/labor practices, secure affordable housing that meets all sanitary codes, and access to health care for all members of our community."

Adopted by the Board of Selectmen, October 9, 2001
