The IAFF Elected Human Relations Committee (EHRC) was created by Convention resolution in 1988 to address issues relating to diversity and inclusion in our union and the fire service. Since its inception, the EHRC has worked as the sounding board and voice of our union, providing insight and guidance to affiliates and fire departments on matters such as those going on today across the globe.
Our membership is a reflection of all races, religions and genders that make up the two nations they serve. As leaders, we stand with the peaceful protesters who remind us what built our great labor movement and improved the lives of all workers.
We stand against the discrimination and mistreatment of black people and all people of color, genders or identities. We stand against police brutality and against violence directed at the police. And, of course, we stand against any and all violence against our members as they do their work protecting their neighbors and communities.
Local 21 is proud to be an integral piece of this fabric that gives strength to our union. Local 21 member and Deputy Chief, Roy Mokosso, serves in one of the 16 positions that make up the EHRC. He was elected by the more than 320,000 members of the IAFF and is dedicated to representing the values of Local 21, our membership and the Saint Paul Fire Department.
