Dear Council Members,
My name is Leila Daniel and I am a teacher as well as a resident of SLO County. I urge you to reallocate funding to the
DEI taskforce. The financial plan for the 2022-2023 fiscal year is drastically lower than the previous years. I urge you to
reconsider cutting the DEI budget by 19% because this harms our community in so many ways.
The DEI taskforce is a vital step in creating a more just and equitable county and community. The money needs to be
used for that task force if you actually want to get any work done.
Additionally, I ask that you increase funding for the multicultural center in order to provide staff support and or a city
liaison. The current budget for the multicultural center is barely enough for renting out a space! Let's let our community
thrive with a space for people of all backgrounds to come together.
Sincerely,
Leila Daniel
