4.A. - Page r (:! Fc <br />PENINSULA CONFLICT RESOLUTION CENTER <br />What is needed to make the community stronger, more collaborative, and a welcoming <br />community for all? What concerns you most, and needs to be addressed immediately? <br />• # of police in my school - learning the school to prison pipeline. No kid should ever see <br />another kid taken in cuffs. It must have been so embarrassing. That's why I'm so <br />passionate. We need more awareness - shove it down people's throat. Equality is <br />important for the success of people. Everyone should have equal opportunity to be equal. <br />need explicit social programs! Kids didn't know where to go, there must be a ton of <br />places but don't know about it. <br />• Teen advisory board centered around teens involved in community projects. I wanted to <br />be a part of really building but was more volunteering i really hope that they can bring <br />more around equality- it's a group that's open <br />• Before corona, info about rwc events, my father is really involved- so we went to a lot of <br />events but only 10-15 ppl so awareness is not there. Spread word and restrictions are <br />lifted once covid is better so there is more participation <br />• Safety of people of during the pandemic - I'm outside wearing a mask etc. lots of groups <br />of ppl youth and adults 20+ ppl no mask no social distancing and seem they don't <br />understand the important <br />• Making masks and social distancing more important - for safety <br />• Teach youth about CA laws - they have negative encounters with Police. For various <br />reasons gang, area you live etc. their neighborhoods are being policed by majority white <br />officers. The engagement is different- more Latino officers and less white in those <br />neighborhoods <br />• Agree about school to prison pipeline- Latino/Spanish speaking families are still unaware <br />of this and work a lot. They need information in Spanish so they can understand etc. <br />• Fly during covid was able to help them especially those in poorer neighborhoods. So <br />police encounters are impacted. In Polynesian/Latino community should be supported <br />better. Have they ever been asked, "what can we do to serve/support you?" <br />• FLY teach youth their rights/police engagement and empathy, theft crimes etc. gangs and <br />are at school sites. <br />• Getting community voice - for whatever reason, don't feel empowered to do that. In <br />Latino communities depending on status- they may not be comfortable being in a City <br />space or talking to police. They know the consequences because of that fear- its limiting <br />to voicing their opinions <br />• As a teacher, parents share their thoughts. I wasn't tied to the police or city. They have a <br />lot of concerns and worries especially for their kids but are not comfortable speaking out <br />about that. Spills over to not just schools but to other city issues. That voice is still not <br />present. I was there on Sat. wasn't high. And noticed that right away. If we really want <br />their voice because they live and raise their kids- how can we really make them feel <br />comfortable. They may "out" themselves. It's a huge piece. That's most important- how <br />can we really support that. The population i work with were most impacted were <br />newcomers into RWC <br />• Youth transitioning - need more support <br />• This process is trying to meet them where they are at - so we can have community <br />members give input about these issues. There are a lot of misconceptions- fear, covid and <br />confusion. <br />82 <br />
