The County of San Diego's Office of Equity and Racial Justice is
hosting community forums on October 26th and 28th from 5:30pm to
7:00pm to request your feedback on two of its main initiatives: the
Budget Equity Tool and Equity Impact Fund.
The budget equity tool is a questionnaire to be
completed by departments as part of the budget process to help ensure
that funding allocations are spent in an equitable manner and
prioritized through an equity lens.
The equity impact
fund is a grant devoted toward community-driven efforts that reduce
disparities and inequities based on race, gender, ability, citizenship
status, or other forms of systemic marginalization.
Join
us to learn more about these initiatives, to ask questions and to
provide comments.
