Equity Highlight
Equity in City Administration
Our City Administration Group decided that three of the most important things that WE can do to address equity in City administration is to identify active community spaces (to facilitate outreach); create a position in the City government to review equity, and; attend City Council Meetings and hold officials accountable for achieving equity goals. City Administration Team, thank you for your concise output from your discussion.
Here is a HUGE opportunity to show up as a community and take responsibility for what equity looks like!
There will be a meeting of the full City Council on Monday, July 15th at 7:00pm. The Council will be taking up a Resolution that creates a standing Committee and a full time position (that reports to the Mayor) for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Take a look at the Resolution, reach out to your City Councilor and show up to voice your opinion and/or concerns. This is what equity looks like!
Don’t forget about the film viewing (Slavery by Another Name), this Sunday, the 14th of July and the Justice For All Organizing Meeting on Wednesday, the 17th of July. Both events will be at the First Congregational Church, 38 S. Winooski Ave., Burlington.
