The community is invited to participate in a new series of dialogues in July and August hosted by the City of Bellevue as part of the community-led Bellevue Centers Communities of Color. The dialogues will be offered at various dates, times and locations, covering topics on racial equity and social justice in Bellevue. Food will be provided.
Community members are encouraged to attend to discuss the needs and opportunities for communities of color in Bellevue. Please register to indicate the dates you are available to participate in a dialogue.
The Centering Communities of Color Coordinating Team is driving the community-led initiative and will moderate the dialogues. The CCC Team will use the ideas collected from the dialogues to potentially draft proposals for new city policies aimed at helping the community thrive and grow more equitably and inclusively. The CCC Team will then bring those policy ideas back to the community for additional discussion and development of formal recommendations for city leadership.
The CCC Coordinating Team comprises a diverse group of people who live and work in Bellevue and are dedicated to advancing racial equity and improving opportunities for the betterment of all people in Bellevue.
