Dear SLO City Council,
I am writing to request that the SLO City Council keep DEI as a top priority during the 2023-25 fiscal
years.
I live and work in San Luis Obispo, and DEI is very important to me. I am a member of the Sheriff's Unity
Committee and care deeply about making our community a more diverse and equitable place to live.
We need to continue to look at the origins of systemic racism, and unconscious bias in San Luis Obispo
County. We need to tell the stories of minorities affected by it as well as the stories of people working to
improve diversity, equity and inclusion in our predominantly white community.
Thank you for your consideration. I hope you will keep DEI a top priority during 2023-25.
Sincerely,
Eileen Akin
