Community Meeting: Draft Action Plan
Issaquah is a culturally rich and diverse community. We strive to be a welcoming and inclusive place for everyone who calls Issaquah home. But more work needs to be done.
Following the senseless death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, people across our country – including on the steps of Issaquah City Hall – have rightfully demonstrated against racial injustice throughout our country. The Black Lives Matters demonstrators have asked that we take this moment to talk about what we need to do as people, as residents and as community members, to recognize racial bias, and make changes to eliminate the disproportionate damage it is doing to people of color.
As a first step, last month I presented a draft Issaquah Police Accountability, Equity and Human Services Action Plan to the City Council and community, and now seek your feedback.
Provide Feedback
Join us to learn more about the City’s draft plan and provide your feedback during a virtual community meeting at 6 p.m. July 29.
Once you register, you will receive an email with details on how to join the virtual meeting. A recording of the meeting will also be published on the City’s YouTube channel.
If you are not able to join us, you can also send feedback via email.
All of your input will be shared with the City Council, which is scheduled to vote on a final version of the City’s plan during its Aug. 10 meeting. Stay informed via issaquahwa.gov/equity.
Yours in Service,
Mayor Mary Lou Pauly
