How can we serve all <br />kids? How can you build empathy, meaningful conversations if group only of similar <br />background? <br />• Look at budgeting priorities. If you want to be more welcoming, reflect it on budget <br />• More open minded and listening to other people; communicate with others who have <br />more ideas. Has experienced this personally. <br />• Could rally around the community; some type of messaging that promotes care for one <br />another. <br />• Renewed interest through an equity lens. At the library looking at programming and <br />access through an equity lens. Ask questions about access before implementing different <br />programs or policies. Who has access and who doesn't? <br />• Police need more training on diversity, equity and bias. <br />• Need a community approach; police live in or have a beat in a particular community so <br />they have more empathy towards those who are more known to them. <br />• Reduce racial profiling and harassment by police.
