LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The county of Lake is seeking four individuals to serve on a committee that will plan community visioning forums focused on promoting tolerance, respect, equity and inclusion in Lake County.
On Feb. 23, the Board of Supervisors unanimously proclaimed that promoting tolerance, respect, equity and inclusion is among its top priorities, as shown in the video above.
At that meeting, each supervisor read a portion of the proclamation and affirmed their commitment to hosting Community Visioning Forums to unearth priorities in the following categories:
· Meaningful actions and activities that will build bridges where there may be walls;
· Fostering tolerance, respect, understanding, equity and inclusion;
· Promotion nonviolence and nonviolent conflict resolution;
· Focusing resources on underlying causes and conditions that lead to inequitable resource and justice distribution; and
· Relevant solutions for any social injustices, as they may come to light.
Board members are working to develop these listening sessions now, and looking for four community members that can help ensure they are inclusive and effective.
“For nearly 80 years,” said District 4 Supervisor Tina Scott, “Americans have cast the vision that our nation should be, ‘indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.’ That isn’t a simple objective that can be outlined once, accomplished, and crossed off a list. It is a call, in everything we do, to ask the hard questions, and strive toward a more perfect union.”
“It is also a demand to develop policies that offer all of our neighbors an equal opportunity to thrive,” said District 3 Supervisor Eddie Crandell. “It is a privilege to partner with and inspire Lake County residents to promote that ideal.”
