Confronting Racism in Santa Barbara

An online community forum hosted by the Santa Barbara League of Women Voters will explore:
●White privilege and local racial/ethnic inequities
●Systemic racism in our K-12 schools and public safety departments
●Our community’s ‘To-Do’ list to reverse systemic racism as defined by the voices of our local black, brown, and indigenous communities
●Actions to address systemic racism within the Santa Barbara County, city, and local school districts
●How individuals can strive to be “anti-racists,” join efforts to reverse systemic racism, and foster diversity
