I
also
want
to
introduce
especially
two
staff
members
who
are
going
to
be
co-presenting
today
and
that
is
andrea,
trung,
the
racial
equity
manager
and
chris
cambis,
the
immigrant
affairs
manager,
the
the
purpose
of
today's
status,
support
of
the
office
of
racial
equity,
which
includes
a
summary
of
a
look
back
and
a
look
forward
to
the
next
six
months.
It
covers
both
streams
of
work,
advancing
racial
equity
and
advancing
immigrant
inclusion
and
belonging.
E
The
memorandum
reflects-
and
it
starts
off
with
a
brief
historical
preview
of
when
and
how
the
conversations
of
racial
equity
commenced.
Essentially,
it
started
all
with
the
courageous
leadership
of
five
council
members
who
initiated
the
topic
of
inequities
in
the
spring
of
2019
council
member
arenas.
Carrasco,
esparza,
jimenez
and
perales
issued
a
memo
in
april
of
2019
that
really
really
cracked
open
the
opportunities
to
have
this
conversation
in
a
very
public
way,
and
that
was
pursued
up
until
the
establishment
of
the
office
in
june
of
2020..
E
E
B
B
Thank
you.
Thank
you
again
to
you
all
good
afternoon,
chair
rena
members
of
the
committee
and
members
of
the
public.
My
name
is
andrea
trung
and
I
am
the
regional
equity
manager
in
the
office
of
racial
equity.
As
soon
as
mentioned
I'll,
be
presenting
on
behalf
of
the
racial
equity
work
that
our
office
has
been
working
on
these
past
six
months
and
then
a
look
ahead
of
what
we
have
in
progress
and
what
we
hope
to
accomplish
by
june
of
this
year.
B
As
you
all
can
see
on
your
screen
here,
you
all
may
be
aware
of
this
framework.
We
in
the
office
of
racial
equity
have
adopted
the
gear
framework
which
several
other
jurisdictions
have
adopted
as
well,
and
it's
created
to
advance
racial
equity
through
normalizing,
organizing
and
operationalizing
normalizing
looks
like
engaging
in
practices
and
activities
that
actively
name
the
history
of
government
and
creating
and
maintaining
racial
inequities.
B
Organizing
is
building
capacity
and
structure
to
implement
these
practices
and
operationalizing
is
the
implementation
of
racial
equity
tools
and
policies
and
practices
that
explicitly
name
racial
equity.
We
also
wanted
to
note
that
it's
important
we're
using
this
framework
and
the
framework
leaves
with
race,
but
it
doesn't
end
with
race,
and
it
also
considers
other
identity
intersectionality
next
slide.
Please
for
the
racial
equity
work
stream.
We
have
five
objectives
today.
B
I
wanted
to
highlight
these
two
other
objectives
that
we
have
in
our
office
and
wanted
to
note
that
we're
influencing
the
work
and
that
the
city
is
operationalizing
this
through
a
racial
equity
lens
in
the
reimagining
safety
and
community
economic
recovery
work.
Our
office
continues
to
be
partners
in
ensuring
that
a
racial
equity
lens
is
being
used
and
that
we're
coordinating
with
our
respective
colleagues
in
these
projects
next
live.
Please
I'm
really
happy
to
report.
We've
had
a
lot
of
great
progress
in
these
past
six
months,
six
months
and
in
the
next
slide
I'll
review.
B
Just
some
key
highlights
of
what
that
might
look
like
in
practice.
As
you
can
see
on
this
slide
we're
using
a
stoplight
color
system
to
reference.
Our
progress,
green
means
that
activities
have
been
completed,
yellow
is
in
progress
and
red
refers
to
not
being
started.
If
we
can
move
to
the
next
slide.
So
here
I
will
just
kind
of
review
some
key
highlights
from
our
july
to
december
accomplishments.
B
There
are
other
several
accomplishments
and
highlights
in
our
accompanying
memo,
but
I
just
wanted
to
kind
of
highlight
a
few.
So
under
our
develop
and
implement
training
objective,
we
executed
two
senior
and
executive
back
racial
equity
workshops
under
our
build
office,
the
racial
equity
team
and
citywide
infrastructure.
B
We
hired
and
onboarded
one
assistant
to
the
city
manager
myself
and
one
senior
executive
analyst,
dr
andre
lockett,
as
you
can
see
in
these
other
three
objectives,
which
we
define
as
operationalizing
the
work
we
have
partnered
with
the
budget
office
and
completed
results-based
accountability.
We've
completed
several
ad
hoc
consultations
with
city
departments
and
revise
and
launch
the
budgeting
equity
tool
for
this
next
fiscal
year
in
partnership
with
the
budget
office.
B
Next
slide
moving
on
to
what's
in
progress
for
our
next
six
months
and
what
we
also
hope
to
accomplish
by
june.
As
I
mentioned
earlier
in
the
presentation
again,
it's
through
our
kind
of
normalized
organized
operationalized
framework
and
in
our
normalized
framework
we
hope
to
develop
training
videos
for
city
staff,
on
racial
equity
terms
and
concepts
under
organize.
We
hope
to
have
100
percent
of
departments
complete
a
racial
equity
action
plan
and
and
under
operationalize.
H
Thank
you
very
much,
andrea
good
afternoon,
charlottes,
members
of
the
committee
and
members
of
the
public.
As
andrea
mentioned,
my
name
is
chris
cambisous
and
I
am
the
immigrant
affairs
manager
in
the
office
of
racial
equity
and
it's
my
pleasure
to
walk
you
through
an
overview
of
the
work
of
my
team.
H
Please
so
similar
to
the
racial
equity
side
of
the
house.
We
use
a
similar
stop-light
system
in
order
to
depict
our
progress
towards
achieving
our
objectives
and
key
results.
So
under
leadership
and
communications,
we
successfully
achieved
10
out
of
12
of
the
objectives
and
key
results
that
we
set
between
july
and
december.
H
In
access
engagement,
it
was
8
out
of
10.
educational,
economic
growth,
nine
out
of
12
and
safe
communities
about
six
of
the
twelve
and
a
half
and
a
half
all
regardless
of
completion.
All
objectives
and
key
results
that
we
set
are,
at
the
very
least
in
progress
and
are
ongoing.
We'll
discuss
some
of
that
here
in
just
a
bit
next
slide.
Please.
H
Also
in
the
leadership
communications,
I
want
to
point
out
the
launch
of
our
educational
campaign
around
the
central
american
minor
program.
Our
initial
goal
has
been
to
reach
100
eligible
families
from
el
salvador,
honduras
and
guatemala
to
inform
them
notify
them
of
the
reopening
of
the
program,
and
this
is
one
of
the
major
initiatives
that
will
also
be
continuing
to
take
forward
as
well.
Now
that
has
been
launched
under
access
and
engagement.
H
So,
beginning
in
november,
and
up
to
yesterday
we
have
hosted
our
spotlight
series
covering
topic
of
documented
dreamers,
the
central
american
minor
program.
Yesterday,
in
recognition
of
national
slavery,
human
trafficking
awareness
month,
we
discussed
service
providers
for
foreign
victims,
foreign
survivors
of
human
trafficking
and
next
month,
in
recognition
of
black
history
month,
we'll
be
focusing
on
the
the
service
organizations
and
specifically
working
with
black
immigrants
in
the
city
of
san
jose.
H
Additionally,
I'd
like
to
spotlight
the
work
that
we
have
begun
in
partnership
with
uscis,
to
provide
workshops
that
will
support
city
of
san
jose
employees
and
families
and
family
members
with
any
immigration
needs
that
they
may
have
as
well
under
education
and
economic
opportunity.
I
want
to
spotlight
the
collaboration
that
we've
had
with
the
mayor's
office
of
technology,
technological
innovation
in
developing
a
pilot
project
that
has
assisted
with
resume
preparation
and
job
mentoring
for
newly
arriving
afghan
refugees
and
under
the
safe
communities.
Filler
certainly
want
to
continue
to
uplift
and
magnify
the
work.
H
That's
been
done
in
terms
of
the
implementation
of
the
15
anti-asian
hate
crime
strategies
and
the
work
that
the
immigrant
affairs
team
did
in
helping
lead
the
city's
participation
in
united
against
hate
week
in
november
next
slide,
please
so
similar
to
the
accomplishments.
This
yeah
slide
here
focusing
on
what
is
in
progress
and
what
we
have
on
the
horizon
for
the
immigrant
first
team
represents
just
a
snapshot
of
the
work
that
we
are
doing,
as
you
can
imagine
across
23
different
strategies
and
four
pillars,
plus
the
work
of
the
anti-asian
hate
crime
strategies.
H
Under
access
and
engagement.
We
are
very
much
deep
in
the
work
right
now
with
our
community
partners
around
naturalization
workshops
and
events,
particularly
in
the
hopes
that
fingers
crossed.
We
may
be
able
to
have
some
of
these
in
person
this
later
on
this
year,
under
education
and
economic
opportunity,
we're
very
much
exploring
the
various
different
entrepreneurship
promotion
programs
that
exist
out
there.
H
We
are
going
to
be
actively
engaged
with
the
american
red
cross
on
expanding
preparedness,
training
to
immigrant
communities
and
supporting
the
expansion
of
their
latino
engagement
teams,
as
well
as
continuing
to
work
with
a
range
of
service
providers
locally.
On
issues
such
as
you
know,
expand
expanding
awareness
of
the
support
services
that
exist
for
foreign
victims
of
human
trafficking
and
expanding
the
our
collaboration
with
groups
such
as
cadre,
which
are
working
on
development
of
a
local
rapid
language
bank
for
use
in
emergency
contacts.
E
Sumo
great,
thank
you
chris
and
andrea
for
summarizing
the
status
report
in
just
a
few
short
months.
You've
landed
with
the
city
of
san
jose
and
started
running
so
much
so
much
respect
and
admiration
for
you,
both
as
described
in
the
memo.
All
areas
of
the
equity
framework
are
in
motion
steadily
moving
the
organization
from
early
stage
to
growth
stage,
and
while
there
is
so
much
more
work
to
do
to
eliminate
racial
disparities
and
reverse
the
effects
of
redlining
on
communities
forced
to
live
there,
the
city
is
making
progress.
E
To
that
end,
the
office
of
racial
equity
is
laying
the
foundation
for
the
marathon
ahead
and
sustainable
long-term
change
management,
while
simultaneously
supporting
the
city
with
the
urgent
needs,
and
there
are
already
many
bright
spots
throughout
the
organization
where
staff
are
critically
thinking
about
the
impacts
of
program,
design
and
service
delivery.
Embarking
on
a
learning
agenda.
E
In
addition,
the
implementation
of
the
welcoming
san
jose
plan
is
an
excellent
example
of
operationalizing
racial
equity.
Centering,
the
experiences
of
immigrants
and
refugees
and
approaching
the
work
with
humility
and
ongoing
learning
with
that,
I
hope
that
this
provides
you
know
again.
This
was
a
snapshot
of
the
activities
that
have
been
undertaken
in
the
in
the
last
several
months
with
a
relatively
new
team.
C
I
So
I
was
the
most
deprived
cops
under
over
police
and
under
police,
and
we
we
know
what
happened.
I'm
very.
I
mean
extremely
saddened
that
this
report
was
the
way
that
it
was
created,
because
I
bring
a
unique
experience
to
this
topic.
Why?
Because
I
fought
for
the
budget,
I
was
in
the
room.
I
was
in
the
room
when
stephen
petey
talked
about
200
years
of
sangho
history,
and
I
heard
my
elders
in
the
audience.
Weeping
silently
you
know
who
was
absent
from
that
audience,
vietnamese
chinese
being
both
absent.
I
They
didn't
care,
they
did
not
care.
I
ain't
mad
at
them,
that's
cool!
I
don't
take
that
person,
but
now
you're
going
to
come
and
side
bust
on
on
on
on
what
it
is.
That
is
absolutely
a
moral,
legal
and
ethical
question
as
to
whether
or
not
I
deserve
to
have
a
reparation
for
what
I
was
forced
to
endure
cultural
genocide.
My
mother
was
beaten
for
speaking
spanish
in
the
schools
every
single
time.
A
human
being
speaks
spanish.
Now
I
get
angry
because
I
cannot
speak
the
language
because
they
beat
it
out
of
my
mother.
I
J
Hi,
laura
beekman
thanks
a
lot
for
your
for
the
meeting
today
this
this
can
hopefully
be
a
very
special
meeting,
a
good
way
to
prepare
for
2022..
Thank
you.
You
know
these
ideas
of
equity
have
been
developing
here
in
san
jose
and
throughout
the
west
coast.
Actually,
for
the
past
few
years
before
the
george
floyd
incidents,
before
kovid,
we
were
building
something
just,
I
think,
importantly,
sustainable,
and
we
can
still
do
those
efforts.
J
Thank
you
for
this
item
and
what
you'll
be,
what
we're
trying
to
do?
The
ideas
of
equity
and
budgeting
council
person
perales
was
able
to
talk
about
right
when
kobit
was
was
striking
as
a
way
to
be
prepared.
For
basically
I
mean
these
are
our
better
practices
as
a
society.
I
feel
we're
trying
in
the
past
few
years
to
really
hone
down
what
equity
could
mean
and
good
luck
in
our
ways
to
just
better
and
better
define
the
term
and
bring
it
to
its
good
beginnings.
J
D
J
K
Hi
I
apologize,
I
missed
part
of
the
presentation,
so
you
may
have
covered
it,
but
what
I'm
really
really
interested
in
in
when
we
talk
about
racial
equity
is
I
would.
I
would
really
hope
that
somewhere
along
the
line,
people
like
me,
I
was
born
here
and
raised
here
in
san
jose,
as
was
my
mother.
I
have
all
of
my
grandparents.
All
four
grandparents
are
buried
in
you
know
oak
hill
cemetery.
K
K
I
am
so
prepared
to
shed
it,
but
I
listen
to
these
meetings
and,
for
example,
paul
soto,
blair,
beekman
people
inform
me
so
much
more
often
times
in
two
minutes
of
sort
of
the
pin
points
and
the
touch
points
of
what
I
need
to
be
educated
about
in
san
jose.
I
learned
so
much
from
the
redistricting
meetings.
All
of
the
comments
they
really
pinpointed
for
me
what
I
need
to
become
educated
on
and
what's
what
I
need
to
know
to
have
change
occur.
K
L
Thank
you
just.
I
have
a
quick
question,
but
first
let
me
just
say
that
I
appreciate
zuma,
you
you
and
your
team's
work
on
all
this.
I
I
you
know.
I
read
the
memo
and
there's
a
lot
of
intricacies
to
this,
even
though
you
know,
as
we
sometimes
just
say,
equity
and
throw
out
that
word
as
if
or
racial
equity,
as
if
it's
something
simple
and-
and
I
think
it's
just
complicated
but
but
important
work.
That
needs
to
be
done.
L
So
I
commend
you
for
everything
you
all
have
been
doing
to
move
this
issue
forward.
The
one
question
I
have
sort
of
stems
from
what
I
saw
in
a
report
from
on
another
item
in
this
meeting,
and
that
is
some
of
the
work
from
the
library
department,
san
jose
public
library,
and
that
the
idea
around
affinity
groups
and
and
I'm
curious
what
you
think,
the
role
of
affinity
groups
play
in
the
city
and
I'm
curious
if
your
your
department
has
has
won
how
how
how
many
of
those
exist
within
the
city.
L
E
Thank
you,
councilmember
jimenez,
for
the
for
the
question.
I'm
actually
grateful
to
the
hr
department.
The
human
resources
department
is
the
one
that
has
led
the
charge
over
the
last
couple
of
years,
they've
initiated
the
affinity
groups
and
have
created
the
space
for
city
staff
members
to
participate
in
them.
I
can't
give
you
the
number
off
the
top
of
my
head.
L
Cool
yeah
and
the
number
wasn't
I
was
just
if
you
had
it,
but
it's
not
it's
not
a
big
deal.
If
you
could,
if
you
can
get
the
number
to
me
at
some
point,
that'd
be
helpful.
I
guess
I'm
wondering
you
know,
affinity
groups
can
come
in
all
different
forms
right
and
and
have
an
affinity
for
different
things.
L
E
L
Right
and
then
so
so,
just
to
better
understand
the
structure,
so
hr
is
helping
to
facilitate
the
creation
or
the
establishment
of
these,
for
example,
the
just
the
library
department.
You
know
the
library,
given
that
it's
part
of
this
this
meeting
they
have
an
internal
team.
That's
leading
those
affinity
groups
is
each
department
in
your
view,
sort
of
taking
the
lead
as
it
relates
to
their
respective
affinity
groups,
or
are
there
larger
affinity
groups
within
the
whole
infrastructure
of
the
city
or
how?
What
is
the
structure
there.
E
Yeah,
so
I
think
from
what
I
understand,
the
the
there
are
the
larger
groups
right,
that
are,
multiple
departments
represented
it
in
a
particular
affinity
group,
for
example,
latino
native
black
african
ancestry
and
so
on,
and
the
very
specific
groups
there
are.
There
could
be
some
departments
that
I'm
unaware
of
that
have
very
specific
affinity
groups
within
their
departments,
but
many
of
them
are
begin.
Well,
you.
E
L
First
and
then
you
know
taking
these
very
logical
steps,
because
I
know
we
want
to
get
to
the
finish
line
and
live
in
a
world
and
and
operate
within
a
city
in
a
society
that
that
has
reached
everything
that
I
think
one
of
the
commentators
was
touching
on
right,
this
sort
of
self-actualization
and
everyone
sort
of
being
on
the
same
page
and
having
equity
and
opportunities.
But
it's
going
to
take
time
and
I'm
appreciative
of
very
again.
The
very
thoughtful
approach
is
put
forward.
So
thank
you.
M
M
Gaps:
canyons,
really
that
were
already
there
to
begin
with.
I
don't
think
we
have
a
lot
of
time.
I
think
that
people
are
suffering
now.
People
are
becoming
more
and
more
disenfranchised
now
and
there
is
a
physical,
very
real
cost
to
not
meeting
those
needs
systemically,
and
so
I
wanted
to
ask
a
question
around
the
budget
process.
E
E
B
To
silma's
point,
these
eight
departments
that
are
selected
are
both
community
facing,
as
well
as
some
strategic
support
and,
as
someone
mentioned,
starting
small
helps
us,
because
a
result
based
accountability
framework
does
often
take
a
lot
of
time
and
understanding
to
implement
and
understand,
and
especially
how
many
performance
measures
that
we
have
in
the
city.
We
also
in
tandem
as
wilma
mentioned,
are
launching
the
budgeting
for
equities
tool.
M
Thank
you
and
I,
and
actually
brought
up
something
I
also
wanted
to
address
in
terms
of
some
of
the
work
that
we've
already
done
in
terms
of
leadership
training.
I
had
a
question
about
ongoing
technical
assistance,
specifically
for
leadership
and
management,
although
I
think
it's
needed
sort
of
at
all
levels
because
we
have,
we
need
to
empower
frontline
staff
more
as
well,
but
I
do
think
it's
needed
and
and
I'll
say
again
that
you
know
when
we
talked
about
the
definition
at
council.
M
E
Yeah
there's
a
couple
of
things
that
we
have
on
the
horizon
council,
member
related
to
not
only
increasing
the
understanding
and
awareness
about
this
work,
but
also
their
understanding
awareness
about
their
role
in
advancing
this
work.
And
so
there
are
some
key
things.
We
as
office
of
racial
equity,
have
are
planning
some
additional
trainings
to
kind
of
jump
off
some
of
the
trainings
that
we
did
in
the
last
six
months
to
keep
it
in
front
and
fresh
in
front
of
them
number
one
number
two.
E
But
we
also
are
you
know
we,
the
the
training
that
we
want
to
do
with
the
consultant,
will
be
city-wide
and
so
keep
that
in
front
of
everyone,
especially
leadership
and
middle
management,
because
much
of
the
change
management
happens
there
right
and
so
main
it's
not
just
a
one-off
training.
It's
sort
of
this
maintaining
a
learning
environment
from
here
on
until
who
knows
perpetuity
right.
E
So
we
don't
intend
that
this
would
be
a
one-off
training,
it's
a
series
of
trainings
to
build
skills,
build
capacity
and
socialize
what
we're
doing
here
so
that
it
truly
is
embedded
in
the
way
that
we
speak
about
it
every
day
and
that
everybody
understands
council.
Member,
like
you,
said
you
when
they
use
the
word
equity
racial
equity.
They
actually
know
what
you
know
what
they
mean
by
that
and
be
able
to
provide.
You
know
clear
examples
of
what
that
looks
like
at
the
community
level.
G
Yeah,
you
know
councilmember.
I
could
also
add,
in
addition
to
what
you
just
heard.
We've
also
just
recently
completed
put
the
entire
senior
management
team
through
two
pretty
intensive
trainings
around
this
very
subject.
Right,
because
we
recognize
that
you
know
it's
not
enough
to
just
talk
about
it.
G
To
make
sure
that
that
you
know
representatives
from
the
city
manager's
office.
For
you
know,
directors
of
of
of
departments
are
leading
and
driving
this
and
supporting
the
efforts
of
front
line
and
middle
management
staff
right
because
it
has
to
be
the
entire
organization
moving
in
tandem.
We
recognize
we're
not
all
always
going
to
be
able
to
move
at
the
same
speed
and
at
the
same
you
know,
but
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
moving
definitely
in
the
direction
of
implementing
race
and
equity
as
a
framework.
M
So
much
and
coveted
response
and
census
and
other
things,
because
they
know
our
neighborhoods
they're
they're
such
a
part
of
the
community
and
bring
that
different
perspective,
particularly
from
frontline
staff
right
and
and
and
I'm
not
picking
on
them.
Because
that's
a
department
head
that
lives
in
san
jose
as
well.
M
Are
we
providing
consistent
language
and
training
for
other
city
departments
that
that
and
I'm
bringing
this
up?
Because
I'm
a
believer.
I
have
no
problem
saying
this:
I'm
a
believer
and
the
mayor's
gang
prevention
task
force
work.
It's
a
national
model,
it's
something
that,
in
my
opinion,
the
city
should
be
investing
more
in
and
and
so,
and
that
partner.
That
effort
is
based
on
city
or
county
nonprofits
and
law
enforcement
right
everybody
comes
in
to
play.
E
I
also
remember,
as
far
as
the
there
is,
we've
had
to
solicit
the
help
of
a
consultant
that
has
had
experience
working
with
law
enforcement
specifically
on
racial
equity,
and
when
we
went
through
that
procurement
process,
we
interviewed
several
that
said
that
they
had
done
that,
but
there
was
only
one
that
we
found
in
the
country
that
explicitly
you
know,
leads
with
race
and
understands
these
concepts
of
racial
equity
and
the
frameworks
related
to
law
enforcement,
and
so
that
training.
That
consultant,
is
someone
that
will
be
working
with
shortly.
E
But
I
really
like
your
idea
about
beyond
law
enforcement,
sort
of
the
network
of
partners
you
know,
are
we
all
kind
of
speaking
the
same
language,
and
I
think
that
that
is
something
we
need
to
consider
more.
You
know
thinking
about
how
we
extend
the
type
these
types
of
trainings
to
our
partners
as
well.
So
thank
you
for
the
idea.
M
M
C
C
All
right
so
before
we
take
that
vote,
I
do
have
a
couple
of
questions
that
I'd
like
to
ask.
I'm
really
happy
that
we're
we're
beginning
to
have
these
conversations,
because
I
was
looking
at
the
dates
and
it's
almost
been
two
years
since
we've
kind
of
collectively
had
this
conversation
and
since
then,
we've
had.
C
You
know
like
a
lot
of
civic
demonstrations
and
we've
had
a
pandemic,
and
I
don't
know
what
else
we
we
we're
going
to
face,
but
we've
been
facing
it
together
and
we've
been
making
this
work,
and
I
really
appreciate
that
now
we
are
having
a
more
strategic
approach
to
the
work
that
we're
having
one
of
the
things
that
that
I
want
us
to
make
sure
that
that
we
do
is
not
only
work
with
what
what
has
been
happening
in
the
last
two
years.
You
know
the
results
of
the
pandemic.
C
I
think
my
council
colleagues
have
expressed
that,
but
also
the
the
historical
experiences
of
the
folks
who've
been
living
here
and
I
think,
there's
a
lot
of
value
in
having
some
of
those
conversations
publicly
and
to
demonstrate.
How
do
we
have
these
conversations
with
each
other
and
acknowledge
the
suffering
and
and
the
is
the
suppression
of
certain
groups?
C
I
I
want
to
say
that
almost
every
group
that
that
immigrated
to
the
u.s
had
their
their
turn.
If
you
will,
unless
you
you
were
from
england,
and
even
when
you
were
from
england,
there
is
some
subgroups
from
there
and
so
not
that
it
makes
it
any
better.
But
we
have
to
recognize
that
history
and
for
for
california,
just
like
everywhere
else,
that
is
to
recognize
slavery
and
and
to
speak
about
that.
That
issue
I
mean
you
know
if
south
africa
could
do
this
in.
You
know
that
horrendous
situation.
C
We
can
certainly
do
that
and
have
this
kind
of
reparations
discussion
as
well,
and
then,
of
course,
we're
in
california,
which
is
we
just
used
to
be
a
former
mexico,
and
we
can't
ignore
that.
I
mean
the
majority
of
the
names
of
their
cities
and
our
streets
are
all
spanish
surnames,
and
so
we
have
to
also
recognize
that
in
san
jose
we
may
have
a
larger
latino
community,
but
we
also
have
folks
who
who've
been
part
of
of
san
jose.
We've
recognized
them.
C
We
had
a
recognition
and
apology
to
our
our
chinese-american
community.
I
think
in
that
same
way
we
need
to
be
very
strategic
about
the
rest
of
the
groups
and
not
as
a
special.
You
know.
Date
comes
up,
but
I
think
we
should
plan
for
it
and
plan
to
recognize
these
groups
bring
in
some
of
the
the
native
american
history
as
well
from
those
folks
and
have
a
discussion,
because
I
think
you
know
as
much
as
I
would
love
for
us
to
move
into
normalizing.
C
You
know
we
are.
We
are
for
operationalizing.
Excuse
me
we're
in
normalizing
that
we
we
haven't
even
really
scratched
the
surface
and
and
we
have
to
also
recognize
that
those
demonstrations
of
the
people
in
the
streets
allowed
us
to
have
this
very
honest
conversation,
because
it
wasn't
so
two
years
ago,
with
our
colleagues,
I
can
say
race
with
my
colleagues
without
stirring
up
and
having
them
think
that
I
was
saying
racist,
and
so
we
have
to
recognize
that.
C
Otherwise,
I
think
we're
really
stepping
over
the
process
and
just
jumping
into
the
infrastructure,
which
I
think
is
absolutely
important.
I
think
we
need
to
be
strategic,
but
I
think
we
also
need
to
recognize
who's
here
and
the
folks
who
immigrate
to
our
city.
You
know
our
large
vietnamese
community,
our
large
filipino
community,
our
southeast
asian
community.
C
We
just
need
to
recognize
those
folks,
and
I
don't.
I
don't
see
that
necessarily
being
part
of
that
other
than
maybe
what
the
the
groups
themselves
are
doing
for
each
other
in
in
their
respective
community.
And
so,
if
there's
a
missing
group,
how
do
we?
How
do
we
plan
for
that?
Is
there?
Have
you
had
any
discussions
about
this
concept
that
I'm
presenting.
E
But
it
also
is
an
opportunity
to
work
with
partners
like
the
national
compadres
network,
who
are
subject
matter
experts
and
who
have
a
lot
of
experience
in
facilitating
these
kinds
of
dialogues
where
you
create
the
space
for
racial
healing.
But
the
racial
healing
is
first
having
a
dialogue
and
a
conversation
about
the
historical
inequities,
and
so
you
know
we
want
to
do
that.
Well,
it's
not
something
you
just
want
to
throw
together
and
see
who
shows
up,
but
you
want
to
make
sure
that
that's
facilitated.
Well,
so
it
comes
from
us.
E
It
has
been
on
our
mind.
It's
just.
We
have
not
been
able
to
create
the
space
on
our
work
plan
to
do
that,
but
we
understand-
and
we
hear
more
about
this
almost
every
day-
that
that
there's
a
need
and
there's
a
desire
to
to
have
a
space,
and
so
who
leads
it
primarily.
I
think
it's
a
could
be
a
number
of
partners
that
get
together
and
decide
how
we
carry
out
that
part
of
the
work.
C
C
You
know
this
society
didn't
happen
on
accident,
so
I
really
would
like
to
see
us
lead
on
that
a
little
bit
more
than
what
we
have
been
because
this
part
of
the
conversation,
I
think
pulls
people
in
and
allows
for
some
of
that
participation
that
I
think
people
are
just
really
yearning
for
that
recognition
and
that
healing
right.
So
we
can
move
to
to
the
healing
piece
of
this.
C
Hopefully
you
know,
would
I
don't
know
how
long
that
would
take,
but
whatever
how
long
that
would
be,
but
we
need
to
begin
to
have
these
conversations.
Otherwise
I
think
if
we
get
to
to
technical
in
in
clinical
about
these
are
the
steps
that
gare
has
outlined,
and
this
is
what
we
need
to
do.
Then.
I
don't
know
that
we're
honoring
the
voices
of
those
folks
who
are
here
so
I'm
not
going
to
continue
on
with
that.
We
can
take
it
offline
a
little
bit.
I
just
love.
C
I
would
love
to
see
this.
You
hear
some
folks,
you
know-
and
I
was
telling
my
son
about
this
the
other
day
because
he
heard
paul
soto.
Have
you
know
some
of
the
comments
that
he
was
that
typically
we
hear
from
paul
soto
and
and
in
the
historical
suppression
of
language-
and
my
son
said:
why
would
they
hit
his
mother?
You
know
why
would
they
he?
C
He
made
a
comment
like
you
heard
earlier,
and
so
then
I
had
to
sit
down
and
talk
with
my
son
about
you
know
what
for
latinos,
you
literally
would
get
paddled
and
you
would
be
beaten
by
an
administrator,
a
teacher
somebody.
You
think
that
you
should
respect
be
and
so
that
you
don't
have
this
attachment
to
this
language,
that
we
can
become
this
melting
pot
that
we
don't
we've
learned,
does
not
work,
and
so
I
think,
there's
a
lot
of.
C
I
think
there
needs
to
be
when
either
whether
we
need
to
be
that
for
our
community.
That
needs
to
happen
and
we
need
to
have.
We
need
to
make
sure
that
we
have
it
for
the
different
groups,
and
I
don't
know
what
the
answer
is.
We
just
need
to
have
the
conversation
conversation,
because
each
of
those
conversations
will
be
very
different
and
okay.
So
let
me
let
me
get
the
get
to
some
of
my
other
questions.
E
E
So
exactly
what
you're
saying
that
that
model
is
a
model
that
works,
and
so
I
think
that
the
thing
for
the
city
is
making
sure
you
know
that
we
adopt
a
framework
that
we
can.
All
you
know,
adhere
by
and
hold
some
integrity
to
it,
and
that
takes
some
buy-in
as
well
as
some
training,
because
not
everybody
knows
how
to
do
that.
C
So
I
would
like
to
see
how
the
immigrant
affairs
team
can
engage
with
with
this
promoter
a
model,
or
you
know,
I'm
not
gonna,
say
exactly
whom.
What
part
of
your
team
does
this,
but
I'd
like
to
see
how
your
your
team
can
see
an
opportunity
for
these
alignments
for
the
promotoras
model
and
framework
taking
into
consideration
all
the
you
know.
C
I
was
thinking
about
the
non-citizen
voting
discussion
that
we
had
the
other
day
on
on
tuesday,
which
was
very
controversial,
but
at
the
same
time
just
you
know
it.
We
all
benefit
from
having
these
kinds
of
interactions
and
and
exchanges
of
ideas.
And
so
how
would
you
see,
or
would
you
see
a
role,
your
team,
having
a
role
in
that,
maybe
in
the
study
session,
or
how
would
you
see
that.
E
It
is
understanding
also
the
mechanics
of
this,
because
it's
very
complex,
it's
a
very
complex
issue,
so
I
think
for
now
you
know
we're
aware
of
what
some
of
the
other
cities
have
done,
and
you
know
I
can't
commit
my
team
because
of
bandwidth
right
now,
but
I
think
part
of
it
is
also
the
research
and
we
have
colleagues
and
in
cities
across
the
u.s,
particularly
new
york
and
san
francisco,
that
have
done
some
of
this
related
to
school
districts
in
their
areas
and
expanding
power.
Expanding
voting
power
in
those
areas.
E
C
C
C
Yes-
and
this
is
for
you
know
folks,
like
myself-
we
need
to
continue
to
learn
and
and
not
just
recognize
how
our
systems
are
institutionalizing
racism,
but
how
to
effectively
be
anti-racist
by
developing
policies
in
a
way
that
can
answer
or
undo
some
of
this.
Some
of
this
harm
that
we've
had
before
I
heard
you,
I
heard
what
you
said
to
council
member
esparza
and
I'm
wondering
is
there?
Has
there
been
any
level
of
an
analysis
for
each
of
the
departments
that
recognize?
C
This
is
what
how
we've
institutionalized
racism
within
our
department.
This
is
how
we,
this
is,
how
our
system
did
this,
not
necessarily
that
they're
implementing
that,
but
but
there's
remnants
of
that
and
I'll
give
you
an
example.
Prns
has
you
know
before,
and
this
is
a
an
economic
decision
that
was
made
because
of
the
recession,
to
close
down
community
centers
and
obviously
they're
a
cost
recovery,
but
that's
not
their
fault.
C
E
Yeah,
so
you
know
that
is
part
of
the
work,
so
this
work
resides
in
the
departments,
and
you
know
I
haven't
personally
done
a
scan
of
all
of
those
things
that
the
city
of
sen
or
the
city
of
san
jose
went
wrong,
but
I
think
that
that's
part
of
the
work
is
where
the
departments
are
beginning
to
uncover
that
and
and
and
so
this.
This
is
why
this
is
why
we
need
to
work
with.
E
You
know
the
normalizing
and
socializing
is
important,
but
working
with
urgency,
so
that
people
have
a
skill
level
to
be
able
to
do
root,
cause
analysis
and
be
able
to
uncover
that
right.
So
we,
the
the
off
the
small
office,
hasn't
had
a
you
know,
hasn't
gone
department
by
department
to
do
an
analysis
like
that,
but
we
want
to
teach
others
how
to
do
that.
C
Yes,
I
did
see
I'm
not
going
to
move
too
far
ahead,
because
I
know
the
next
item.
It
has
more
to
do
with
our
library
department
and
the
way
that
they're
leading
in
this
area
is
admirable,
and
we
have
to
figure
out
whether
you
know
how.
How
can
we
also
move
other
departments
in
the
same
way,
they're
very
enthusiastic
about
moving
towards
equity
and
recognizing
race
within
their
institution
and
even
have
somebody
assigned
to
that.
C
But
the
value
is
based
on
that
leadership
right
and
so
how
much
resources
you
put
into
that?
And
I
think
that
we
need
to
have
a
baseline
in
terms
of
this
is
at
least
what
we
we
need
to
have
a
recognition
of
these.
These
things.
As
part
of
that
analysis-
and
I
appreciate
you
saying
that
that
there
would
be
this
root
analysis
from
some
of
the
departments.
C
I'm
not
sure
you
know
you
tell
me
what
you
would
expect
from
each
of
those
departments,
and
we
can
continue
this
conversation
offline.
But
I
would
like
to
see
that
that
that
level
of
baseline
and-
and
I
know
the
best
practice
is
going
to
be
really
different
from
the
library
department
than
it
is
going
to
be
for
department
of
transportation-
completely
recognize
that,
but
I
think
there's
some
some
baselines
that
we
we
need
to
expect
from
folks.
Okay,
so
those
are
those
are
my
my
questions.
C
I
I
think
they're
they're
you've
done
such
wonderful
work
in
terms
of
bringing
us
to
this
point.
Obviously
this
is
such
an
important
issue
and
item
to
discuss
and
to
implement
and
to
discover
with
each
other
that
we've
dedicated
a
whole
nsc
meeting
to
it
right
and
and
our
conversations
are
not
complete,
because
we
have
two
more
items
that
are
inclusive
of
this
conver
of
this
item.
C
And
and
before
I
I
completely
move
on
here's
another
alignment
that
I
wanted
to
have
so
in
december,
we
had
in
the
piston
the
public
safety,
strategic
support
and
finance
committee
that
I
sit
on
there
it.
There
was
a
conversation
about
or
an
item
that
was,
or
there
was
a
report
that
was
provided
regarding
some
of
the
hate
crimes
in
that
overview.
C
I
know
that
we've
and
I
supported
this,
because
I
want
to
make
sure
that
I'm
I'm
not.
I
am
as
supportive
as
I
can
be
to
our
api
community.
When
the
call
comes,
it
doesn't
really
matter
who
they
are.
We
we
are
going
to
stand
up
for
our
community
they're,
a
huge
part
of
my
of
my
district
as
well
of
my
team
as
well,
and
so
I
I
don't
want
to
take
away
from
from
that,
and
I
want
to
separate
the
conversation
from
from
that
piece
to
just
hate
crimes.
C
C
C
There's
also
a
trend
that
has
been
happening
just
you
know
even
before
him.
So
I
think,
while
I
we
do
some
of
the
things
like
translate
into
different
languages,
that
we
also
take
a
look
at
who
has
been
historically
part
of
those
hate
crimes
and
continue
to
or
require
that
we
have
a
group
that
also
responds
to
that.
Is
there
an
opportunity
for
us
to
build
that
partnership
with
any
of
the
groups
that
we
have
out
there.
E
To
build
a
partnership
with
the
groups
to
do
some
of
the
work
that
we're
doing
on
the
combating
anti-aging
heat,
those
were
the
original
that
was.
The
original
recommendation
from
the
city
council
is
to
implement
the
16
plus
strategies
on
this,
and
so
you
know,
I
think
that
requires
further
further
conversation
council
member
to
see
you
know:
where
does
this
work
live
right
and
height
crimes
is
a
as
a
could
involve
a
lot
of
people,
but
who's
ultimately
responsible
for
tracking
this
and.
C
C
But
we
also
have
to
respond
to
what
we
have
seen
our
city
experience
right
and
what
we
experienced.
I've
never
seen
that
before
I've
never
seen
people
in
the
streets
being
that
angry
and
with
right
with
a
you
know,
rightly
so
they
should
be
angry
and
I
think
we're
we're
missing
an
opportunity
as
well
to
recognize
that
and
recognize
that
in
the
youth,
a
lot
of
youth
are
not
saying
everybody
who
was
out.
C
There
was
young,
but
but
change
happens
with
our
newer
generations
and
there's
an
opportunity
for
us
to
do
that.
We
may
not
be
the
ones
doing
this
this
this
holding
of
that,
but
we
need
to
align
with
the
folks
who
are
who
are
who
are
doing
some
of
that
and
and
and
figuring
out
where
what
our
role
is
within
that.
C
C
M
M
M
Okay,
thank
you.
Thank
you
and
then
I
I
had
a
couple
of
thoughts,
and
so
one
is
on
the
idea
of
the
community
meeting,
there's
a
lot
that
we
do
through
partners,
and
so
we
could
be
the
I
don't
know
the
convener
or
the
you
know
the
main
sort
of
convener,
but
we
can
have
other
partners
organize
these
community
meetings
and
I
think,
there's
a
tremendous
value
in
doing
that
for
the
caller
who
called
in
who
didn't
know
the
history
of
san
jose.
M
I
would
highly
recommend
reading
the
devil
in
silicon
valley
by
dr
stephen
beatty.
I
think
it's
referred
to
in
the
memo
for
this
meeting
or
for
this
item
and
it's
been
included
in
study
sessions
that
the
council
has
had
on
equity,
but
I
also
wanted
to
highlight
I
I
I
hear
councilmember
adenos's
comments
about.
M
It's
very
hard
for
communities
that
have
been
here,
particularly
when
neighborhoods
of
color
get
whitewashed
into
being
called
north
willow,
glen
or
west
willow
blend
when
we
know
them
as
the
horseshoe
and
as
gardner
right,
and
so
that's
one
example,
and
so,
if,
if
you
just
moved
here,
for
example,
you
wouldn't
know
that
right.
You
wouldn't
know
that.
M
I
think
in
sharing
some
of
these
things,
and
so
I
think
we
have
a
lot
on
our
plate
here
at
the
city
and
so
again,
whether
it's
ore
reaching
out
to
partners
who
can
then
actually
do
that.
I
I
do
think
that
there
is
some
value
in
that
and
that
there's
specifically
an
operational
need
for
that,
because
I
I
think
you
know
so
many
of
us.
M
M
For
that
and
the
third
thing
I
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
sort
of
my
oversight
and
not
updating
my
colleagues
on
the
county
hate
crimes
task
force,
work.
We,
it
was
a
we
as
my
colleagues
know,
because
they
helped
propose
it
in
2019,
but
it
was
put
on
hold
because
of
covid
and
so
we're
one
year
in,
and
we
have
another
year
left
to
this
time,
limited
task
force,
and
it
has
been
very
large.
I
think
we
have,
I
want
to
guess,
I
think
around
60
members.
M
I'm
happy
to
share
that
report
when
it
is
completed-
and
I
part
of
creating
this
task
force
was
for
us
to
then
go
back
to
our
respective
cities,
our
respective
school
districts,
county
departments,
non-profit
organizations
and
enact
the
recommendations
of
this
county-wide
task
force.
And
so
you
know
there.
Our
work
certainly
will
not
be
done.
In
fact,
we'll
we'll
have
a
lot
more
and
hopefully
positive
things
coming
out
of
that.
M
I
did
want
to
just
share
one
of
the
things
that
we've
learned,
which
is
you're
right,
councilmember
at
ns,
african
americans
and
it's
true
for
us
locally.
But
it's
true
nationally
are
the
number
one
number
one
for
hate
crimes
number
two
are
our
jewish
american,
neighbors
and
and-
and
so
you
know,
that's
something
that
gets
overlooked
a
lot
and
given
the
size
of
the
populations
that
that
there's
a
lot
of
ugly
stuff
that
happens
even
in
our
own
backyard.
M
We
like
to
think
we're
above
that,
unfortunately,
sadly
we're
not,
but
one
of
the
other
things
that
has
emerged
is
that
we
really
don't
know
what
we
don't
know.
You
know
for
some
of
us,
like
we've
experienced
things
in
in
our
lives
and
we
just
never
reported
it
to
anybody
right.
That's
happened
to
me.
I
know
that's
happened
to
my
colleagues
and
the
people
in
this
meeting
and
we
don't
report
it,
and
so
when
we
talk
about
statistics
and
numbers,
I
think
it's
mine.
M
We
need
to
be
mindful
of
the
fact
that
there's
so
much
happening
out
in
the
community
that
we
don't
know,
and
that's
one
of
the
things
that
has
consistently
come
up
in
the
hate
crimes
task
force
is
we
need.
We
need
different
reporting
mechanisms.
We
need
people
to
not
have
to
report
things
to
the
government
or
a
law
enforcement
body,
which
is
a
pretty
extreme
act
to
take
for
a
lot
of
folks
and
and
to
really
not
force
people
to
kind
of
say,
was
this
a
hate
crime
or
I
hate
incidents?
M
I
mean
those
are
legal
nuances
that
I
mean
come
on,
like
I'm
not
going
to
put
my
mom
through
that
right,
like
a
lot
of
people,
aren't
going
to
do
that,
and
so
we
lose
out
on
really
having
an
understanding
of
what
is
happening
out
in
the
community.
So
when
you
know
little,
ladies,
are
afraid
to
to
come
and
shop
at
little
saigon,
that's
the
result
that
we're
living
with
right
and
so
regardless.
M
C
So
I
completely
agree-
and
so
in
this
process
we're
editing
and-
and
I
understand
that,
there's
a
lot
of
work
that
went
and
invested
a
lot
of
investment
in
many
of
the
the
items
that
you
were
all
presenting,
and
so
it
isn't
it
isn't
easy
to
to
edit,
but
it
is
so
much
easier
to
edit
than
than
to
originate
your
own
document.
So
I
I
absolutely
will
keep
that
in
mind.
Okay,
so
let's
have
a
roll
call
for
the
vote.
Please.
A
H
A
F
A
F
E
Zuma
yeah
great,
thank
you.
Let's
have
chantelle
if
you
could
put
up.
We
have
some
brief
slides.
It's
a
brief
memo,
but
there's
some
brief
slides
just
to
provide
a
little
bit
of
context
so
chantelle.
If
you
can
share
that
screen
and
while
you're
doing
that,
I
think
I'll.
Take
this
opportunity
to
do
a
quick
shout
out
about
the
national
day
of
racial
healing
is
next
tuesday
january
18th.
E
And
there
you
know
this
is
a
great
representation
about
how
some
of
this
is
done.
So
I
invite
you
to
go
to
heal
our
communities.org
for
the
national
day
of
racial
healing
next
tuesday,
okay,
on
to
the
next
item.
This
is
a
discussion.
This
is
not
an
item
for,
and
this
is
not
an
action
item
or
an
acceptance
that
the
nse
committee
has
to
pursue.
This
is
more
of
a
discussion
of
what
we're
proposing
is
an
equity
roundtable,
and
so
with
me
today.
E
E
We
look
forward
to
hearing
today's
discussion
because
this
discussion
amongst
the
neighborhood
services
and
education
committee
will
help
inform
the
way
that
we
move
forward
and
will
help
inform
future
meetings
with
this
group,
so
we're
not
bringing
to
we're
not
bringing
forward
today
a
detailed
process,
but
rather
a
general
proposed
scope
of
work,
the
types
of
representation
and
selection
process
for
a
committee
for
you
all
to
consider.
So
it's
just
a
starting
point,
but
I
think
a
really
good
starting
point
for
for
discussion.
E
So
just
to
put
this
into
context,
why?
We,
even
why
we're?
Even
here
there
is
a
direction
from
council
member
ns
a
year,
just
yeah
in
january
of
2021
to
examine
and
align
the
scope
of
work
of
what
we
had
the
human
services
commission.
With
the
work
of
the
newly
formed
office
of
racial
equity,
we
were
staffing
the
human
services
commission.
There
are
numerous
challenges
there
in
trying
to
get
quorum
or
trying
to
get
people
to
even
apply
to
be
a
part
of
the
commission
and
there's
several
reasons
for
that.
E
So
we
then
proceeded
to
organize
discussions
in
with
with
the
code
design
group,
we
had
three
meetings
from
october
to
december
with
some
several
diverse
community
members
and
the
purpose
of
those
meetings
was
to
inform
and
co-design
a
framework,
scope
and
selection
process
for
what
we're
tentatively
calling
a
roundtable
equity
roundtable
group.
So
with
that
on
the
next
slide,
you'll
see
some
of
the
people
that
were
involved.
E
Some
were
recommended
by
by
council
member
offices,
specifically
council,
member
adenas
and
others
really
just
volunteered
and
said
we
would
love
to
be
a
part
of
this
co-design
group.
So
here
you'll
see
a
range
of
participants
that
represented
you,
know
different
ethnicities
and
races
and
gender
identities
and
age
groups
and
as
well
as
faith
communities.
E
N
So,
as
soon
mentioned,
we
had
a
very
diverse
team
of
community
members
and
we
had
some
really
deep
discussions
and
honest
and
candid
discussions
and
through
that
we
identified
some
key
themes
that
this
equity
roundtable
should
follow.
In
order
to
ensure
that
the
community
believes
our
city
is
truly
committed
to
transformational
change.
N
N
The
roundtable
values
and
efforts
must
also
flow
through
all
city
departments,
to
be
truly
effective
and
embedded
in
our
culture
and
we're
going
to
make
sure
that
the
roles
and
responsibilities
are
clearly
defined
for
everyone
plus.
We
also
want
to
ensure
that
the
focus
is
on
policy
areas
which
def
with
defined
outcomes
that
addresses
racism
and
improves
the
lives
of
our
harmed
communities.
N
O
We
want
to
be
thinking
about
recommendations.
We
want
to
be
thinking
about
what
we,
what
our
informed
lens
can
do
to
enhance
this
process
and
I'll
give
one
tangible
example.
From
this
conversation
today
we
have
heard
the
term
reconciliation
and
people
that
have
that.
I
have
learned
from
deeply
have
shown
and
taught
me
why,
in
the
united
states
we
don't
use
the
term
reconciliations
as
they
have
in
other
countries
when
they've
dealt
with
strife
and
they
point
to
us
that
these
people
that
have
written
about
it
and
thought
about
it.
They
say
in
this
country.
O
We
don't
have
a
point
of
reconciliation
too,
that
the
country's
founding
on
a
failed
genocide
and
taking
a
land
from
native
people.
The
the
enslavement
and
broad
bringing
of
people
from
africa
and
enslaved
here
the
settler
colonialism
that
expanded
the
people
from
south
africa
were
the
ones
that
told
the
u.s
representatives
like
what
are
you
reconciling
to.
So
these
are
the
things
that
I
had
never
thought
about
right
that
the
people
that
are
paid
to
think
about
this
had
informed
me.
N
And
I
hector
reminded
me,
I
forgot
to
say,
happy
new
year
to
everybody
and
glad
to
be
here
too.
So,
as
hector
also
mentioned,
we
did
have
some
really
deep.
Lengthy
discussions
and
sumo
was
very
patient
with
us.
Our
discussions
about
how
what
the
this
whole
process,
including
membership
and
what
our
recommendations
are,
is
a
stipend
for
individuals
serving
on
the
round
table
and
members
are
to
be
selected
by
committee
by
a
committee
made
up
of
community
members,
city,
administration
and
departments.
N
N
E
You
know
what
the
proposed
equity
roundtable,
what
it
would
do,
how
it
will
function
and
how
we
move
forward
on
selecting
people
for
the
round
table
so
before
we
when
we
got
any
further,
we
wanted
to
do
basically
a
check-in
with
you,
and
so
there
are
some
questions
that
you'll
find
here
about
the
proposed
scope.
So
what
works?
What
resonates
with
you?
What
did
you
like?
Where
do
you
need
clarity?
E
I
Yes,
paul
sucker
from
the
horseshoe
boy,
I
hate
to
take
it
as
the
church,
what
hey
the
reconciliation.
Now
I've
spent
over
38
years
of
my
life
inside
of
institutions,
juveniles,
jails,
prisons,
I've
been
to
ten
different
prisons.
I've
spent
five
years
in
solitary
confinement,
and
this
is
what
I
learned
about
that
word.
Reconciliation.
I
I
I
I
That
means
that
they
already
knew
systematically
that
they
were
going
to
deprive
the
future
generations
because
jail
borders
hit
that
the
other
day
jill
border
said.
If,
if
I
don't
have
a
college
education,
it's
more
than
likely,
my
children
aren't
going
to
have
a
college
education.
If
I
am
not
able
to
own
a
home
via
redlining
policies,
then
we're
not
going
to
be
able
to
pass
down
that
well
to
the
kids,
and
you
know
so
on
and
so
forth.
So
it's
really
easy,
but
the
reparation.
It
must
happen.
I
Number
four
reconciliation,
that's
the
process
of
a
restorative
justice
system
and
that's
what
is
a
part
of
my
rehabilitation.
Is
that
that
engaging
in
that
process
admitting
the
truth
correcting
the
truth
of
reparating?
If
there's
anything
that
I
owe
anything,
did
I
oh
that's
why
I
do
what
I
do
right
now
for
free
three
years.
I
spend
all
this
time
with
you
guys,
because
I'm
so
grateful
for
the
opportunity
to
participate
in
my
life,
I'm
a
freaking.
J
Hi
boy
beekman
here
thanks
for
this
item,
a
lot
thanks
for
the
words
of
paul.
He
offered
a
good
list
of
for
this.
For
this
group,
my
own
list,
it's
a
little
bit
more
specific,
and
I
don't
know
if,
if
you
can,
you
would
want
to
be
working
in
these
specifics
at
this
time
to
offer
specifics,
maybe
can
help
the
process
along
and
and
offer
a
bit
of
clarity
for
people
what
they
can
expect.
J
I
hope
the
equity
roundtable
can
be
up
to
this
sort
of
work
and
can
want
to
do
this
sort
of
work
under
the
ideas
of
equity.
Maybe
this
is
a
way
to
bring
in
that
sort
of
good
direction
and
also,
if
you've
noticed
in
my
speech
yesterday,
I
spoke
yesterday
at
rules
and
open
government.
If
you
noticed
at
the
tuesday
meeting,
you
know
on
the
charter
issues
that
we're
talking
about
the
future
of
you
know
voting
rights
for
people
who
have
working
visas
in
this
country.
J
There
was
an
issue
that
we
couldn't
have
zoom
interpretation
language
interpretation
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting.
Why
is
that?
I
think
we
really
have
to
have
a
discussion
about
english,
only
language
issues
that
were
developed
in
the
1980s.
We
have
a
problem
with
that.
We
have
to
work
on
that.
Thank
you.
A
K
Borders
hi.
Thank
you.
I
feel
really
really
inspired
and
grateful
for
this
meeting.
I
have
signed
up.
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
national
day
of
racial
healing
I've
signed
up
in
rsvp
I'll
make
sure
to
attend
that.
I
am
extremely
excited
to
think
of
the
possibility
of
somehow
all
of
these
ideas
coming
to
you
that
that
san
jose
could
actually
have
these
meetings
where
this
healing
can
start
to
begin.
I
I
just,
I
feel
compelled
to
say
you
know
one
of
the
things
that's
on
my
heart.
K
Every
single
day
is
this
idea,
and
I've
mentioned
it
before
in
other
meetings
that
we
have
renters
and
we
have
homeowners
and
we're
becoming
more
and
more
divided.
All
of
the
time-
and
I
am
I
my
reconciliation,
one
of
the
things
I
have
to
reconcile
is
this
idea
that
I
was
raised.
I
was
born
to
homeowners,
I'm
now
a
mobile
homeowner.
K
Their
landlord
has
a
key
to
their
door,
and
so
I
know
that
when
you
talk
about
multi-family
housing
on
the
other
side
on
east
side,
I'm
over
by
oak
ridge,
mall
south
san
jose,
it
hurts
my
heart
to
know
that
when
you're
born
a
renter
that
you
most
likely
will
then
be
a
renter,
so
that
wealth
that
wealth
accumulation
is
not
happening,
and
I'm
done
with
that.
I
am
so
done
with
that.
K
Every
single
person
that
is
here
in
san
jose
should
have
an
a
right
to
ownership
and
not
just
the
this
home
ownership
that
but
the
the
idea
that
they
belong
in
the
community
and
that
their
wealth
is
more
than
that
dollar
amount,
which
we
all
need.
But
it's
it's
investment
in
their
community.
So
I
we
need
to
work
hard
on
this.
C
Thank
you.
I
don't
see
any
hands,
so
I'm
I'm
gonna
begin
with
my
comments.
Thank
you
to
our
our
community.
That
is
providing
some
wonderful
feedback
today
during
public
comment
and
to
you
carmen
and
hector
and
everybody
else
who
sat
around
the
table
with
you.
Having
this
this
discussion,
I
really
appreciate
the
time
that
you've
spent
being
thoughtful
about
this
design,
how
everybody's
role,
what
that
would
look
like.
C
E
C
But
I
appreciate
that
I
I
really
love
that
you
had.
I
think
you
had
somebody
from
a
youth
representative,
already
utilizing
power
and
praise
youth,
utilizing
power
and
praise,
which
was
I
thought
was
really
wonderful,
and
I
think
that
there's
there's
folks
that
that,
from
the
east
side
union
high
school
district,
they
have
a
oh,
my
gosh.
What
do
you
call
it?
It's
like
a
youth
representative
that
comes
to
their
attends,
their
mon
on
the
monthly
basis,
attends
their
board
meetings
and
votes.
C
It's
a
preferential
vote,
it's
not
a
a
formal
vote,
but
nonetheless
they
they
add
their
vote
there,
which
I
think
is,
is
honors
their
participation.
I
really
like
that.
You
thought
about
them
having
a
stipend.
This
is
going
to
be
a
lot
of
work,
because
this
is
the
beginning
of
a
brand
new
commission
ish
group.
C
I'm
not
crazy
about
the
title,
but
I
know
that
that's
not
even
you
know.
I
know
I
haven't
seen
carmen.
I
know
that's
not
even
the
title
of
it,
but
but
I
look
forward
to
seeing
what
the
possibilities
are
for
that
title.
Anyways,
I'm
excited
I'm
excited
about
how
this
could
happen
and
and
to
see
maybe
how
we
could
leverage
the
objectives
of
other
departments
to
bring
in
community
so
that
it's
not
exclusive.
Just
you
know
it
meets
the
the
provide
support
and
feedback
to
to
many
different
departments.
C
M
M
M
What
are
you
upset
about
right
because
that's
all
too
often
how
people
start
engaging
with
the
city
right
and
and
and
it's
interesting
for
me,
representing
district
seven
when
I
go
and
I
talk
to
folks
who
live
in
ahmedan
valley
like
they're
upset,
you
know,
crime
is
through
the
roof
in
amaden
valley,
right
and
then
you
know,
I
sit
down
and
I
say:
okay.
Well,
you
know
what
are
some
of
your
concerns
right
and,
and
they
share
with
me.
M
M
You
go
to
you
know
santee
or
colmar,
and
and
really
see
a
round
table
right,
cadillac
winchester,
to
see
some
of
the
other
realities
in
this
city
and
go
oh
okay.
Wait
a
minute
like
and
and
I
bring
that
up
because
there's
a
lot
of
value
to
sitting
down
and
talking
and
talking
about
equity,
but
I'm
going
to
keep
pushing
on
this
at
the
end
of
the
day.
M
I
think
that
there's
a
lot
of
value
in
sitting
down
and
talking
about
it-
I
I
love
the
fact
you
know
when
we're
out
at
events
and
and
people
acknowledge
that
we
are
standing
in
stolen
land
right.
I
mean
I
didn't
grow
up
that
way,
and
I
love
that
that's
becoming
acknowledged,
and
I
think
it's
important
to
do
that
and
and
there's
a
lot
of
even
my
own
family's
history,
I
used
to
argue
with
teachers
growing
up,
because
I
had
people
telling
me:
internment
camps,
never
happened.
M
You
know
I
so,
and
that
was
my
own
family.
You
know-
and
it's
like
give
me
a
break
right,
so
so
those
are
important
histories
to
be
shared,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
the
city
has
a
responsibility
and
a
duty
to
provide
services
and
infrastructure
in
an
equitable
way
to
all
the
residents
in
the
city,
and
so
that's
why
I
think
we
need
to
bring
people
together
from
different
parts
of
the
city.
M
C
Thank
you,
councilmember
very
great
feedback.
I
agree
with
with
having
some
geographic
based
representation.
That's
really
important,
seeing
that
there
aren't
any
more
hands
going
up.
Would
you
mind
providing?
Oh,
this
is
not
does
not
need
approval
from
the
committee,
so
we
will
skip
that.
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
report.
We
look
forward
to
seeing
this
and
and
how
the
scope
will
look
for
for
the
folks
here
and
the
membership.
C
I
I'm
really
excited
about
having
them
grow
at
the
same
time,
we're
growing
and
then
potentially
having
them
come
to
our
nsc
committee
as
well
to
see
how
their
feedback
informs
and
shapes
policy
as
well.
So
thank
you
so
much
carmen
and
hector
and
all
of
your
team
for
for
doing
all
the
work
that
you've
done.
Andrea
and
carla.
A
C
N
Yes,
go
away,
go
right
ahead,
so
I
do
want
to
thank
sulema
and
her
team.
They
were
phenomenal.
We
were
not
an
easy
group
to
work
with
I'll,
let
you
know
that,
but
they
were
very
open
to
hearing
candid
truths
and
that
really
helped
formulate
this
presentation,
so
we're
super
happy
to
be
working
with
her.
Thank
you.
O
So
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
carmen
and
the
rest
of
the
people
we
were.
We
were
the
two
people
that
were
identified
to
share
this,
but
there
were
many
other
people
that
could
have
carried
this
to
this
meeting,
and
so
I
don't.
I
would
hate
to
think
that
people
walk
away
thinking.
It
was
my
specific
intellect
that
got
us
here.
It
was
really
a
collective
effort
and
I
want
to
acknowledge
everybody
else
and.
C
G
G
F
Thank
you
angel
and
good
afternoon,
chairperson
arenas
and
members
of
the
committee.
It's
my
pleasure
to
introduce
our
first
annual
equity
report
from
the
san
jose
public
library.
The
library
has
a
long-standing
stated
mission
of
fostering
lifelong
learning
and
ensuring
that
every
member
of
the
community
has
access
to
a
vast
array
of
information
and
ideas.
F
So
we
all
know
that
equity
cannot
be
taken
for
granted,
and
so
we
made
it
a
focus
to
examine
our
practices
and
we
needed
expertise
and
prioritization
to
do
that.
As
angel
said.
So
we
created
a
dedicated
position
for
equity
and
inclusion
back
in
february
of
2020,
and
now
the
timing
seems
absolutely
miraculous
as
we
closed
down
in
march
of
2020,
we
were
very
fortunate
to
recruit
carla
alvarez
as
our
community
programs
administrator
for
equity
and
inclusion
services.
F
So
I'm
very
proud
of
the
work
the
staff
has
undertaken
to
center
equity,
and
so
today
we
are
offering
this
work,
which
we
will
continue
to
evolve
in
alignment
with
the
city's
work
and
feedback
from
council
as
potential
models
for
teams
to
embed
equity
in
their
work
in
the
city,
and
so
with
that
I
will
introduce
carla
alvarez
and
she's
going
to
share
some
of
these
highlights
with
the
committee.
Thank
you.
D
D
D
D
The
library
then
invited
subject
matter
experts
to
join
an
ad
hoc
committee
to
determine
the
scope
and
criteria
that
would
become
our
quality
standards
framework.
The
ad
hoc
committee
met
twice
this
fall
in
september
and
october
2021,
and
these
standards
apply
to
all
city-funded,
operated
or
endorsed
programs.
Next
slide.
D
D
The
importance
of
plain
and
accessible
language,
materials
and
imagery,
as
well
as
ensuring
that
holistic
and
targeted
outreach,
is
integrated
into
program
plans
to
ensure
targeted
community
members
learn
about
and
participate
in
the
opportunities
available
to
them.
We
made
the
decision
to
lead
with
anti-racism
and
intersectionality
or
the
interconnected
nature
of
social
categories
such
as
race,
gender
abilities,
disabilities
class
and
others
to
continually
scan
for
and
address
policies
and
practices
that
inequitably
and
negatively
impact
our
divorce
communities.
D
A
key
aspect
of
our
discussions
included
the
importance
of
establishing
training
and
tools
to
build
staff
capacity,
not
only
to
understand
these
concepts,
but
also
infuse
program
implementation.
With
this
approach
and
ultimately
ensure
that
equity
diversity
and
inclusion
is
baked
into
the
way
in
which
teams
carry
out
their
work
as
a
whole
across
all
levels
and
dimensions
as
a
working
document,
these
standards
will
be
continually
reviewed
and
we
will
also
plan
for
additional
spaces
to
integrate
communities.

One
of
the
tools
that
the
library
developed
in
2019
and
is
critical
to
guide
our
service
delivery
model
is
the
equity
index.
This
tool,
visualizes
community
areas
facing
disadvantages
in
relation
to
the
rest
of
san
jose
as
the
library
continues
to
make
necessary
adaptations
in
programming
and
overall
service
delivery
to
meet
the
needs
of
all
the
equity
index,
informs
the
library
strategy
in
response
to
the
gaps
and
variances
of
community
needs.

Another
equity
tool
developed
this
past
year
to
foster
learning
for
the
community
is
a
new
section
on
our
website.
Sjpl.Org
backslash
equity
dash
inclusion.
The
news
section
on
our
website
includes
subsections
on
anti-racism
resources,
reading
recommendations
from
library
staff,
information
about
library
by
mail
and
other
resources,
as
well
as
programs
available
next
slide.
D
The
new
website
section
also
includes
some
important
definitions
as
part
of
normalizing.
These
concepts
in
community
having
a
shared
language
is
vital
to
advancing
equity
to
ensure
we
are
understanding
the
same
meanings,
references
and
issues.
Overall
at
sjpl
we
identify
these
four
equity
principles
and
definitions.
D
D
This
past
year
the
ret,
as
we
often
refer
to
it
by
its
acronym,
undertook
a
series
of
projects
including
developing
safety,
training
and
protocol
recommendations,
as
well
as
leading
several
learning
sessions
for
library
staff.
A
total
of
five
affinity
groups
facilitated
by
ret
members,
were
piloted
in
july
2021
for
staff
who
identify
as
asian
latinx
hispanic,
indigenous
native
mixed
race
or
black,
as
well
as
a
white
learning
ally
group.
The
groups
are
open
to
staff
of
all
classifications
and
their
participation
is
included
as
part
of
their
work
time.
D
Lastly,
the
lgbt
plus
community
was
formed
in
september
2021
to
amplify
lgbtq,
plus
voices
and
experiences
throughout
the
year.
The
committee
will
meet
quarterly
to
plan
around
planned
programming
around
key
dates
such
as
pride
and
national.
Coming
out
day,
that's
life
since
2018
the
library
has
been
hosting
community
conversations
each
quarter
to
gather
community
feedback
concerns
and
gather
programming
suggestions,
beginning
late
2020
library
staff,
facilitated
conversations
around
key
issues
in
the
community,
including
the
digital
divide,
the
coveted
vaccine
and
racial
inequity
with
guest
presenters
by
bringing
in
guest
speakers.
D
This
also
provides
an
opportunity
for
residents
to
come
together
and
speak
about
the
discrimination
and
impact
faced
by
some
in
our
communities,
as
well
as
highlight
some
of
the
local
efforts
underway
to
transform
and
support
different
needs.
As
part
of
our
equity
approach.
The
library
also
includes
separate
sessions
for
spanish-only
and
vietnamese-only
speakers.
Each
quarter.
D
Community
conversations
are
also
a
volunteer
lawyer,
finds
opportunity
providing
patrons
with
the
opportunity
to
have
up
to
20
dollars,
applied
to
waive
overdue
fines
for
their
participation
in
these
spaces.
Next
slide,
as
we
look
ahead
for
this
year,
we
will
continue
refining
the
edi
quality
standards,
as
well
as
developing
a
resource
list
of
recommended
tools
and
trainings.
D
I
I
It's
not
pointed
enough.
It's
like,
let's
have
equity
for
all,
that's
an
oxymoron
most
people.
Don't
know
that,
though
equity
for
everybody
is
an
oxymoron,
and
until
you
are
able
to
articulate
the
nuance
and
understand
and
comprehend
it
and
give
concrete
examples,
then
you
know
people
don't
really
understand.
They
just
want
to
do
the
right
thing.
I
get
it.
I
I
I
You
know
I
mean
this.
Is
this,
and
so
I'm
very
very
like
excited
about
that
particular
project.
You
guys
got
going.
I
had
a
little,
you
know
back
and
forth
with
shane,
but
you
know
that's
yeah,
but
the
the
work
that
you're
doing
is
very
it's
critically
important,
because
the
libraries
are
where
we
get
our
education
and
education
was
a
problem
in
the
60s.
That's
why
we
had
sophie
mendoza.
K
Hi
this
is
I'm
hoping
it's
slightly
on
topic,
but
I,
the
value
of
the
libraries,
is
so
important
and
the
work
that
you're
doing
right
now.
This
makes
me
so
happy.
One
thing
that
I'm
really
hopeful
for
is
having
a
conversation
about
how
and
if
possible.
I
don't
know
where
the
money
comes
from,
or
how
to
do
this,
but
sb
330
is
where
now
affordable.
Housing
can
just
be
streamlined
through
so
any
affordable
housing
that
finds
a
space.
That
can
you
know,
build
it.
K
So
I'm
dropping
it
in
here
in
this
comment,
because
I
know
there
are
librarians
here
and
there
are
council
members
here
and
other
very
knowledgeable
people,
and
so
if
we
could
remember
that
if
we
find
we
lose
a
commercial
space,
you
know,
unfortunately,
that's
all
of
that
fiscal
stuff
that
you
know
the
mayor
and
everybody
want
to
worry
about
all
the
time.
I
know
it's
important,
but
when
we
lose
a
community
space,
it's
it's
so
disheartening.
K
So
I
want
to
encourage
any
sb,
330
streamlined,
affordable
housing
to
go
in
that's
fabulous.
We
need
a
lot
of
it.
I
wish
they
were
more
all
community
orange
owned
and
all
the
people
that
lived
there
would
be
part
owners.
That
would
be
the
ultimate
goal,
but
in
the
absence
of
that,
let's
make
sure
that
the
people
that
live
there
can
just
go
downstairs
and
grab
a
newspaper
and
read
it
for
free
or
grab
a
book
or
see
this
micro
museum
that
you're
going
to
put
in
these
libraries.
A
A
Looking
back,
I
see
my
participation
on
the
committee
as
a
culmination
of
my
14
years
working
at
the
library
putting
into
writing
and
formalizing
the
library's
commitment
to
and
striving
for,
equity
and
inclusion.
Since
I
began
working
at
san
jose
public
library,
we
have
always
sought
to
reduce
barriers
and
be
welcoming
and
inclusive
to
all
community
members.
A
So
in
2007
that
looked
like
getting
rid
of
rid
of
registration
for
and
not
limiting
attendance
limits
to
our
story
times
letting
people
arrive
late
to
our
programs,
expanding
funding
and
resources
for
family
learning,
centers,
english
language,
learner
conversations,
clubs
and
citizenship
classes.
We
began
hosting
summer
food
programs
and
inclusive
story
times.
Every
one
of
our
locations
has
a
teen
advisory
group.
We
call
teens
reach
and
a
designated
space
for
teens.
In
our
buildings
we
went
fines
free
for
children
and
hopefully,
looking
ahead,
will
be
fines
free
for
all
ages.
A
In
my
experience,
san
jose
public
library
is
always
at
the
forefront
of
equity
and
inclusion
in
libraries.
The
library
is
watching
listening,
adapting
and
transforming
in
accord
with
the
changing
needs
and
times
the
edi
quality
standards
are
goals
and
ideals.
Put
into
writing
for
staff
to
see
what
we
have
done,
what
we
are
doing
and
what
we
are
striving
to
achieve
in
every
interaction.
A
J
Hi
blair
beekman
here,
hopefully
I
can
be
a
bit
idealistic
on
this
item.
Thank
you
that
you've
described
equity
inclusion
issues
for
this
item.
Digital
inclusion
is
incredibly
important
to
ourselves
and
its
timing
was
a
little
strange
that
we've
been
working
on
it
hard
for
a
number
of
years
now
and
with
the
arrival
of
kovit
19,
it
just
blew
open
the
doors
to
put
in
a
whole
bunch
of
4g
and
5g
in
our
local
neighborhoods.
J
This
was
an
uncomfortable
process
and
it
is
an
uncomfortable
process.
I
think
for
ourselves
I'm
very
interested
how
we
can
work
towards
the
ideas
of
open
public
policy
practices
and
its
accountability,
how
the
notification
process
of
new
cell
towers
being
put
up
the
whole
openness
and
accountability
process
to
go
along
with
the
digital
equity
issues.
I
think,
is
a
very
important
combination
for
our
future.
It
really
defines
our
future
of
sustainable
practices
as
a
community.
J
It's
not
just
dumping
in
a
bunch
of
technology
and
saying
we're
here
now,
it's
doing
it
in
in
intelligent
terms
in
terms
of
sustainability
for
a
community,
it's
our
better
practices
and
our
better
selves
we're
dealing
with
a
bunch
of
new
law
enforcement
questions.
This
405
g
has
a
ton
of
new
surveillance
technology
involved
with
it
that,
with
open
public
policies,
we
can
have
a
a
course
in
a
direction
and
a
voice.
J
F
Good
afternoon
everyone,
I'm
jennifer
lucas
with
the
california
state
council
on
developmental
disabilities,
central
coast
office.
The
state
council
is
established
in
both
federal
and
state
law
and
we
work
to
ensure
that
people
with
intellectual
and
developmental
disabilities
are
fully
included
as
members
of
their
community
and
are
able
to
access
the
services
and
supports
they
need.
F
F
C
Great,
thank
you
so
much.
I
don't
see
anybody
no
hand,
so
I'm
gonna
step
in
with
some
comments.
Thank
you
for
a
great
presentation
and
obviously
a
lot
of
work
behind
it.
One
of
the
questions
that
I
had
was,
as
I
was
reading
the
report.
I
think
it
was
commissioner
sizer
who
had
said
that
they
he
wanted.
Like
a
subcommittee,
a
standing
subcommittee.
I
know
that's
something:
that's
not
necessarily
a
recommendation,
but
I
wonder
how
can
we
address
that
need?
I
don't.
C
I
think
he
wasn't
alone
in
in
that,
and
I
wonder
if,
if,
if
there's
something
that
we
could
maybe
approach,
some
of
these
commissioners
to
be
part
of
the
equity
roundtable
could
be
another
possibility
there.
I
think
when
people
are
excited
to
talk
about
race
and
equity,
we
should
find
a
path
for
them
right.
It
is
there
anything
else
that
you
might
have
already
thought
of
for
commissioners,
who
would
be
more,
who
would
continue
would
want
to
continue
their
participation.
F
Yes,
council
member,
thank
you
we
are.
We
were
starting
to
work
on
developing
our
typical
process
is
an
ad
hoc
committee
of
the
commission,
and
so
that
will
be
in
process
soon
and
then,
but
I
I
liked
your
idea
of
offering
our
commissioners
their
opportunities.
So
as
the
city
evolves
some
of
these
other
bodies
or
review
processes,
we
will
definitely
put
them
forward
to
our
commissioners
as
appropriate.
C
F
I
would
I
carlin
might
have
more
comment
on
this,
but
I
I
mean
the
way
that
we've
approached
so
far,
knowing
that
the
office
of
race
equity
has
been
kind
of
initiating
so
much
work
during
this
time
is
that
carlos
just
worked
incredibly
closely
with
them
and
then
a
support
to
them,
but
also
ensured
that
the
work
we
did
is
an
alignment
with
them,
but
carla.
I
don't
know
if
there's
more,
you
want
to
add
to
that.
D
Yes,
the
commissioner's
questions
were
really
more
curious
about
how
how
we
work
with
the
office
of
racial
equity
and
that's
a
question.
I
often
get
from
several
of
our
community
partners,
and
so
as
jill
states
I
do
have.
We
actually
have
an
equity
meeting
space
with
with
a
member
of
the
of
the
ore
staff
every
month
and
the
other
department
housing
that
has
another
full-time
equity
position
and
then
there's
a
variety
of
meetings
and
exchanges
that
occur
throughout
throughout
the
year.
D
As
and
even
the
preparation
for
this
meeting
and
making
sure
that
we're
sharing
and
updating
on
what
we're,
planning
and
and
knowing
full
well
that
they're
they're
precisely
to
be
thought
partners
to
provide
technical
support
and
we're
actually
very
much
looking
forward
to
the
trainings
that
are
being
developed
with
the
consultants
right
now,
so
that
we
can
then
integrate
that
into
our
onboarding
and
our
opportunities
for
continued
learning.
Among
the
library,
staff
and
volunteers.
C
Great
well,
thank
you
for
that.
I
know
that
you
all
must
be
walking
hand
hand-in-hand
with
in
this
process.
This
is,
and
this
is
kind
of
a
new
path
for
all
of
us,
even
though
I
heard-
and
I
can't
remember
the
librarian
that
called
in-
and
I
apologized
about
that-
but
I
thought
it
was
just
really
interesting.
D
So
that
is
one
of
the
ways
in
which
we
look
at
the
digital
equity
index.
Look
at
the
concentrations
of
needs
and
then
use
that
to
inform
who,
should
we
be
partnering
with?
How
can
we
get
that
word
spread
out
or
where
do
we
post
flyers,
for
example,
and
you
might
have
seen
the
banners
at
certain
schools
as
you're
driving
around
promoting
our
sj
access
equipment
and
that
is
all
guided
and
informed
by
the
equity
index.
D
C
Wonderful,
wonderful
and,
and
I'm
gonna
bring
in
the
same
idea
that
I
had
earlier
with
surma
about
aligning
some
of
the
work
that
we're
doing
elsewhere.
With
with
this,
this
work,
where
any
of
the
work
I
know
angel,
does
a
great
deal
of
this
trying
to
intersect
everything
right
so
that
we're
leveraging
the
resources
that
we
have.
C
It
sounds
like
you're
just
well
into
this
process
and
so
it'd
be
wonderful
to
see
how
the
promoters
model
can
can
be
incorporated,
or
you
know
you
know,
be
a
meaningful
part
of
this
effort,
but
but
that's
something
that
you
can
take
back
with
angel
and
and
through
that
that
peace
out
in
the
meantime,
congratulations
coming
this
far.
Thank
you
so
much
for
all
the
work
that
you've
been
doing
carla
and
taking
that
lead
that
leadership
role
and
jill.
Thank
you
for
for
that.
C
F
Yeah-
and
I
I
think
that
michelle's
comment
you
know
is
to
the
fact
that
we
always
have
practices
in
organizations
that
make
a
lot
of
sense
to
us
at
the
time,
but
that
you
know
over
time
she
was
referencing
all
these
ways
in
which
we
recognize
that
it
didn't
need
to
be
that
way
and
it
actually
helps
people
be
more
involved
or
remove
the
barrier.
We
change
our
practice
and
you
know
when
you
were
asking
a
question
in
a
previous
item.
It
actually
really
made
me
realize
you
asked
about.
F
F
Historically,
we
did
a
big
analysis
and
found
that
unpaid
fines
were
very
clearly
disproportionately
impacting
children
and
community
of
color,
and
so
we
had
a
system
that
that
needed
to
change
and
thankfully
with,
but
it
had
a
very
big
budget
impact.
So,
thankfully,
with
the
council's
support
and
our
city
manager
support
and
our
advocates,
our
commission,
that
has
changed,
we
no
longer
have
youth
fines
and
we
have
suspended
adult
fines
during
covid.
So
we're
continuing
to
find
ways
to
to
mitigate
practices.
C
I
appreciate
that
and
we
can
work
off
those
those
fines
which
allows
us
for
a
way
out.
We
always
need
a
way
out
right,
so
so
thank
you
so
much
jill
for
for
that
wonderful
work,
carla
michelle,
it's
just
we're
full
of
race
and
equity
today
at
nsc,
and
it
just
feels
really
good,
which
is
it
feels
like
this
is
the
way
this
is
the
path.
This
is
how
we
should
we
should
be
conducting
business.

Hi
blair
beakman
here
thanks
a
lot
for
the
meeting
today.
It
was
really
interesting,
a
reminder
that
you
know
with
all
the
new
law
enforcement
questions
at
this
time.
You
know
it's
my
real
hope
that
it's
our
openness,
open
public
policies,
our
accountability,
our
good
ideas
of
reimagine,
racial
equity
and
health
and
human
services
that
can
really
help
out
naturally,
to
law
enforcement
questions
at
this
time,
and
I
think
it
can
organize
ourselves
and
the
law
enforcement
questions
very
well.
Open
public
policies
and
accountability
can
really
really
help
with
that.
J
I
feel
good
luck,
how
digital
inclusion
ideas
can
be
a
future
that
can
walk
hand
in
hand
with
open
public
policies
and
accountability
to
quickly
mention
again
zoom
zoom
meetings.
You
know,
and
the
language
interpretation
issues
seems
like
you
know:
they're
they're,
so
expensive,
because
they're
supporting
the
concepts
of
english.
Only
in
our
society,
we've
all
made
agreements
to
this
english-only
policy-
that's
been
developed
since
the
1980s
and
I
think
we're
all
growing
uncomfortable
with
the
policy.
I
really
hope
the
equity
roundtable
can
can.
J
You
know
make
attempts
to
study
this
question
and
and
the
fact
that
multiculturalism
and
language
at
the
public
meeting
process
at
this
point
can
actually
develop
a
better
community,
a
more
a
harmonious
community,
good
process
where
everybody
learns.
Everybody
has
rights
and
and
works
better.
I
feel
it
can
be
a
better
system.
At
this
point,
I
hope
we
can
have
study
sessions
on
this
english
only
problem
at
the
equity
roundtable,
and,
to
conclude,
I,
I
really
hope
that
we
can
work
on
the
consent.
J
K
Thank
you.
I
just
want
to
plant
a
small
seed
sort
of
has
to
do
with
equity.
For
me,
some
people
may
not
think
so,
but,
for
example,
the
affordable
housing
units
that
are
going
to
be
built
along
blossom
hill,
road
or
anywhere
else
generally.
My
understanding
is
they're
built,
as
you
know,
inexpensively
as
possible
according
to
codes.
K
I
understand
it
costs
money
to
put
a
washer
and
dryer
in
every
unit,
but
when
we
are
talking
about
the
problems
of
equity,
here's
what
my
thoughts
are.
You
have
all
these
market
rate
things
where
this
one
person
lives
that
can
pay
3
500
a
month
can
go
drop
off,
dry
clean,
have
somebody
launder
their
stuff
and
all
kinds
of
stuff
whatever,
but
they
also
have
a
washer
and
dryer.
And
then
you
have
lower
income
people,
mothers,
who
are
working
almost
every
single
day
and
on
the
day
off
they
get.
K
K
So
I
want
to
say
that
in
the
future
I
hope
every
single
building
is
built
with
equity
in
mind,
which
is
that
time
is
money,
and
these
women,
mostly
and
men,
do
laundry
too,
but
mostly
women
are
caring
for
children
doing
their
laundry
in
a
very
difficult
circumstance,
while
other
people
are
just
throwing
it
in
in
the
middle
of
the
night
if
they
feel
like
it.
Thank
you.
C
C
D
I
Yes,
thank
you
for
that.
I
got
the
cheap
metro
phone.
Sometimes
this
thing
the
the
the
the
the
light
goes
up,
but
possibly
from
the
horseshoe,
and
I
mean
this
with
with,
with
all
sincerity,
councilwoman
arenas.
I
really
appreciated
your
acknowledgement
for
what
I
do
and
what
I
bring
here.
People
don't
really
understand
what
my
role
is
here
and
you
and
councilwoman
esparza,
despite
the
fact
that
I
I
have
some
very
serious
concerns
about
the
direction
that
she's
going
with.
With
respect
to
things
happening
in
her
district.
I
I
appreciate
the
way
that
she
absolutely
accurately
centered
why
I
say
because
when
I
say
I'm
from
the
horseshoe,
I'm
saying
a
lot
that
neighborhood
perales
gave
the
horseshoe
to
district
six
district.
Six
were
the
authors,
the
literal
authors.
I
have
all
the
documents,
their
names.
They
were.
The
authors
of
the
redlining
map
bebrak
park,
bebrak
lived
on
down
the
street
bebrak
was
the
mayor
of
san
jose
from
1930
to
1932..
I
Willow
glenn
was
annexed
into
san
jose
eight
months
before
that
redlining
map
was
ratified
and
made
legal.
This
is
a
problem
right
there
right
there.
I
don't
have
the
opportunity
to
articulate
that
whole
argument.
It's
got
to
be
a
legal
argument
and
it's
going
to
be
because
that
the
red
lightning
map
it's
going
to
court,
it's
going
to
court.
I
For
that
reason,
and
I'm
going
to
be
the
one
to
fight
that
because
you
don't
give
willow
glenn
and
they
were
the
authors
of
the
red
line
map-
and
I
have
the
proof
so
for
them-
to
exercise
that
kind
of
power
and
for
paralysis
to
think
he
can
give
them
that
put
it
put
put
the
red
line,
basically
the
87
that
went
through
and
the
280
he
created
the
lines
out
of
the
red
line.
I
mean
this
is
sick,
so
it's
going
to
court
and
perales.
He
just
better
give
that
donor
money.
