Diversity & inclusion forum #3: What is the role of community groups?

From the Board of Selectmen:

“Recent events across our nation have reminded us all of our individual and collective responsibilities to speak out against discrimination and racism, to acknowledge the systemic nature of racism and its dire consequences, and to use our influence as citizens and local officials to promote change. We have heard from a broad spectrum of the community, representing both town government and private organizations, urging coordinated action. To this end, the Board of Selectmen will be hosting a series of roundtable discussions this fall to begin a process of community self-examination, the results of which will inform the development of an action plan to help Lincoln become a community that more fully embraces diversity, and one that commits itself to trying to create the conditions that foster it.”

At the October 21 discussion, panelists will include members of community organizations, cultural institutions and nonprofits to help everyone learn how town organizations are addressing diversity, equity, inclusion, and anti-racism.
