4.A. - Page r�Fc <br />PENINSULA CONFLICT RESOLUTION CENTER <br />• Immediately - separate crises but housing is tremendously urgent, especially for non- <br />white, and lower income. Whole Bay Area cost crisis is a problem and important to talk <br />about. <br />• Making community better: we need to reform existing policies so that they don't allow <br />actions that lead to race based decisions. Do not make RWC the next Minneapolis. <br />• Support children of lower economic background so that they can continue their education <br />from home. Needed: computers, internet, bodies to watch them at home. Even though <br />parents are doing their best, they don't have the familiarity to support their children. <br />How do we support the children? Especially for families with language barrier. <br />Language barrier is a real big issue if I can't talk to the teacher about issues. <br />• More transparency - communication, with local government. Transparency - making <br />things 2 way communications, authentic communication, provide reciprocity, give <br />responses to questions. Not only the police department needs more transparency. More <br />education and transparency at all levels. Use Media. <br />• Jail thing very serious, going to make everything worse -need to be able to see the person <br />you're visiting, they need to see the "real world" <br />• Know they're doing community policing, have come a long way, want to see police <br />officers working with families/not stereotyping/not stopping because of car; like when <br />officers talk to children, in future treat everybody with respect <br />• Large undocumented population, afraid of calling police, suggest having critical response <br />team which doesn't involve police (social workers, counselors), immigrant relief fund <br />needs more funding <br />• Police scorecard for each city -require de-escalation, not just train <br />• Need to do de-escalation training again (if not in the past year) -very important <br />• Town halls - need more honest looks at history of policing (hear "I know Sheriff so & so <br />and he's a good guy" <br />• Community presence volunteers -worked really well in San Mateo, working with PAL, <br />everybody involved, police in schools engaged the youth (in gangs) like people! built <br />trust, gang members would call cops or volunteers <br />• Downtown activities bring people together; <br />• Looking forward to getting back <br />• No immediate needs <br />• Responsive council <br />• Microaggressions, assumptions at school about race; need to open up about diversity in <br />school <br />• Racism concerns me — people getting stopped <br />• Everyone should be welcome <br />• Biggest problem: We put the students on the spot by asking which was bigger concern: <br />Equity in School supplies /racial profiling /white people cut in line (3 items from the <br />class list) <br />o 3 votes for racial profiling, 1 for cutting in line <br />• Comment on police resources: How can community resources be deployed to benefit of <br />everyone? (Example of white person mentally disturbed — should first responder always <br />have gun?) Have to figure out how not every first responder has a gun <br />• Equity for those with disabilities; City does a lot yet can reach out and do more <br />
