Hello Councilors,
Thursday evening I will propose an amendment to your Resolution, to be included in the 10-point plan, making it an 11-
point plan.
11. Urge the Mayor to establish an Office of Equity and Human Rights, to promote equity and reduce disparities
within City government; provide guidance, education and technical assistance to all municipal offices in
achieving equitable outcomes and service; support human rights and opportunities for everyone to achieve
their full potential; work to resolve issues rooted in bias and discrimination, through research, education, and
interventions.
Thanks to you all for this excellent resolution, coupled with the Board of Health’s Resolution I find this work to
be very proud of.
Special thanks to our Council President for you guidance here and always, and for including this as part
of the agenda.
See you all soon,
Michael
