November 2020 Community Forum (Resources & Action Items Available)

In 2020 --

…Our health and economy have been threatened by an indiscriminate virus

…Our hearts and communities have been broken by brutal acts against people of color

…The world looked on while we were vividly reminded of our unfinished work to reverse racial and ethnic inequities

Join the League of Women Voters Santa Barbara Forum
Confronting Racism in Santa Barbara

Forum panelists will explore:

White privilege and local racial/ethnic inequities
Systemic racism in our K-12 schools and public safety departments
Our community’s ‘To-Do’ list to reverse systemic racism as defined by the voices of our local black, brown, and indigenous communities
Actions to address systemic racism within the Santa Barbara County, city, and local school districts
How individuals can strive to be “anti-racists,” join efforts to reverse systemic racism, and foster diversity

Help us end the year with hope and positive actions!
