City Council Meeting tonight will address Racial Equity at 5pm (Meeting information below) This year, the City Council will lead a series of actions to begin to address longstanding racial inequities and move toward becoming an anti-racist city. This racial equity initiative will provide an racial equity lens to internal and external structure, policies, and actions. Based on recent events, public conversations, and a need for the City and its leaders to acknowledge and add...ress historic and systemic racism and respond to the impacts of such longstanding inequities on our local community, members of the Law and Legislation Committee requested an update from staff on the status of current efforts to advance racial equity in the City of Sacramento (City). The City Council in December 2020 unanimously agreed to develop and implement an approach to address racial equity citywide, with quarterly actions moving forward. City Council members with be asking their colleagues to put forth a draft resolution for Council and community discussion that outlines the following: Acknowledge historic and systemic harms and racism; Affirm a sustained commitment to a citywide racial equity initiative; and Commitment to train staff and build capacity to address systemic racism and advance racial equity. A community driven and owned approach to develop credibility, trust, and accountability with communities of color that results in proactive and purposeful community partnerships. Draft Resolution for Council and Community Discussion to establish a racial equity mandate that prioritizes and calls for adoption of a racial equity framework in Council work as a decision-making support tool and analysis; and centers the community in shared and owned decision making and all elements of the development of the racial equity framework. The draft resolution recognizes historic and recent systemic harms and racism such as, but not limited to: Historic systems of racism and slavery in United States of America. Discriminatory laws like the enslavement, displacement, and discrimination of indigenous people. Anti-Chinese xenophobia that led to creation of The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. Racially based policy intended to over-police and over-criminalize Black and Latino communities resulting in the overpopulation of Black and Brown people in the prison population such as the government led initiative known as the War on Drugs. Discriminatory policies and practices such as redlining that led to creation of and underinvestment in communities of color. Other events that caused racial and economic disparities felt decades later in our local communities, as well as more recent events and activities which continues to impact our residents and businesses.
