Greetings Human Relations Committee,
I applied for a DEI SLO Business Grant, and I understand you will be reviewing recommendations at the May 3
meeting.
I'm sure there were many great applications, and I know these are difficult decisions. However, I strongly
encourage you to consider funding the Advancing Women of Color Symposium.
When we center the experiences of women of color, we are supporting whole families and communities and
acknowledging how people with marginalized identities are often held back because they face biases which
people with privilege experience at disproportionately lower levels.
I understand you have limited resources to award, but even partial funding of this proposal would make a
significant impact for women of color in our community.
Thank you in advance for your consideration,
Joy
