To the City Council:
As you consider the City's needs over the next two years, I urge you to continue to make diversity, equity and Inclusion a
priority. I have lived in SLO for 48 years and, on the one hand, I greatly appreciate the kind of community it has been,
exhibiting compassion for homeless persons and care for the natural environment. On the other hand, only in recent
years has the city begun to become aware of how systemic racism has subtly influenced local policies and decisions,
even here in relatively progressive San Luis Obispo. I applaud recent City Councils for their beginning steps. My hope is
that you will continue efforts to promote diversity, equity and inclusivity in this community.
