Greenfield Human Rights Commission votes to post complaint procedure online

Other Committee · Meeting of April 13, 2026

Greenfield Human Rights Commission posts complaint procedure, weighs fewer meetings. The seven-member commission unanimously voted to publish its discrimination-complaint procedure on the city website and seated new commissioners Angela Campbell and Pia Martin. Members learned the city may cut their meetings to every other month amid budget reductions, a change also being discussed for the opioid task force.

Commissioners mourned former member Becky "Paki" Whelan, planning a June 4 funeral in Northampton and debating a student social-justice scholarship in her name. They also noted a GoFundMe for Greenfield Middle School student Brandon Hoyt, who died in March, topped $35,000. "If they're doing something, what are we, what are they doing?

Where can we find them?" Martin asked during a lengthy discussion of renewing the commission's push against racism and bullying in Greenfield schools.
