Abraha’s Commission is in charge of investigating discrimination cases. They have limited regulatory authority from state and federal laws. They also have a College Advisory Board from local college students. They advise City Council on their viewpoint on issues that impact them, like transit issues. Abraha really knows her stuff and is a terrific speaker.<\/p>\n
