Participate in Racial Equity Tool Focus Group Discussions

equity

As a part of its commitment to equity, the City of Alexandria’s Race and Social Equity Office is initiating the creation of a Racial Equity Tool specific to the City of Alexandria to help with applying a racial equity lens to every aspect of how we serve the Alexandria community. Government and community organizations across the country are using Racial Equity Tools to ensure more equitable decisions for historically and systemically marginalized populations.

The vision for our Racial Equity Tool is to provide a framework and a foundation for all institutions in the City of Alexandria to operationalize racial equity in all decisions, policies, programs, and practices. This tool will be a process and a product that community partners as well as Council and government staff systematically use to promote racial equity and center the needs, leadership, and expertise of residents and staff of color with lived experience of inequities.

The success of this tool is not possible without feedback from community partners who regularly work with Council and government staff to meet the needs of the Alexandria community. The City of Alexandria is requesting input from community partners in the development of our Racial Equity Tool so we can best meet the needs of the community we serve. Please provide your input by participating in a focus group OR completing a 15-minute survey. The survey is also available in Amharic, Arabic, and Spanish.

There will be three opportunities to participate in focus groups to discuss the development of a Racial Equity Tool. Please register in advance to attend and provide feedback.

  • In-person Community Partners Focus Group, May 11, 2022, 5pm-7pm, 2900 Business Center Dr., Conference Room A & B
  • Virtual Community Partners Focus Group, May 12, 2022, 12pm-2pm
  • Virtual Community Partners Focus Group, May 16, 2022, 10am-12pm

If you’re unable to attend one of the focus group sessions, please take 15 minutes to complete the survey to provide recommendations. The deadline to complete the survey is Friday, May 13, 2022.

Your input is imperative as we work toward developing this tool. Your responses and recommendations will shape the creation of our Racial Equity Tool to help us promote racial equity in our work so we can better serve and meet the needs of ALL Alexandria.

For questions and additional information about the Racial Equity Tool, email the Race and Social Equity Office at equity@alexandriava.gov.

Socios de la comunidad:

Como parte de su compromiso con la equidad, la Oficina de Equidad Racial y Social de la ciudad de Alexandria está iniciando la creación de una Herramienta de equidad racial específica para la ciudad de Alexandria para ayudar a aplicar una lente de equidad racial a cada aspecto de cómo servimos a la comunidad de Alexandria. Las organizaciones gubernamentales y comunitarias de todo el país están utilizando Herramientas de equidad racial para garantizar decisiones más equitativas para poblaciones marginadas histórica y sistémicamente.

La visión de nuestra Herramienta de equidad racial es proporcionar un marco y una base para que todas las instituciones de la ciudad de Alexandria pongan en práctica la equidad racial en todas las decisiones, políticas, programas y prácticas. Esta herramienta será un proceso y un producto que los socios de la comunidad, así como el personal del Consejo y del gobierno, usarán sistemáticamente para promover la equidad racial y centrar las necesidades, el liderazgo y la experiencia de los residentes y el personal de color con experiencia vivida en desigualdades.

El éxito de esta herramienta no es posible sin los comentarios de los socios de la comunidad que trabajan regularmente con el personal del Consejo y del gobierno para satisfacer las necesidades de la comunidad de Alexandria. La ciudad de Alexandria solicita la opinión de los socios comunitarios en el desarrollo de nuestra Herramienta de equidad racial para que podamos satisfacer mejor las necesidades de la comunidad a la que servimos.

الشركاء المجتمعيون،

في إطار التزامه بالمساواة، يبدأ مكتب المساواة العِرقية والاجتماعية (Race and Social Equity Office) في مدينة الإسكندرية (City of Alexandria) في إنشاء أداة للمساواة العِرقية خاصة بمدينة الإسكندرية (City of Alexandria) للمساعدة في تطبيق منظور المساواة العِرقية لكل جانب من جوانب كيفية خدمة مجتمع الإسكندرية (Alexandria). تستخدم المنظمات الحكومية والمجتمعية في جميع أنحاء البلاد أدوات المساواة العِرقية لضمان اتخاذ قرارات أكثر إنصافًا للسكان المهمشين تاريخيًا ونظاميًا.

تتمثل رؤية أداة المساواة العِرقية في توفير إطار عمل وأساس لجميع المؤسسات في مدينة الإسكندرية
(City of Alexandria) لتفعيل المساواة العِرقية في جميع القرارات والسياسات والبرامج والممارسات. ستكون هذه الأداة عبارة عن عملية ومنتج يستخدمه الشركاء المجتمعيين بالإضافة إلى المجلس وموظفي الحكومة بشكل منهجي لتعزيز المساواة العِرقية والتركيز على الاحتياجات والقيادة وخبرات المقيمين والموظفين من أصحاب البشرة الملونة ذوي التجربة الحياتية في عدم المساواة.

نجاح هذه الأداة غير ممكن دون الحصول على تعقيبات من الشركاء المجتمعيين الذين يعملون بانتظام مع المجلس وموظفي الحكومة لتلبية احتياجات مجتمع الإسكندرية. تطلب مدينة الإسكندرية (City of Alexandria) مساهمات من الشركاء المجتمعيين في تطوير أداة المساواة العِرقية الخاصة بنا حتى نتمكن من تلبية الاحتياجات التي نخدمها على أفضل وجه. يُرجى تقديم مساهماتك من خلال المشاركة في مجموعة تركيز أو إكمال استبيان مدته 15 دقيقة.

ستكون هناك ثلاث فرص للمشاركة في مجموعات التركيز من أجل مناقشة تطوير أداة المساواة العِرقية. يُرجى التسجيل مسبقًا للحضور وتقديم الملاحظات.

  • مجموعة التركيز المعنية بالشركاء المجتمعيين الافتراضية، 5 مايو 2022، 12 ظهرًا - 2 مساءً
  • مجموعة التركيز المعنية بالشركاء المجتمعيين الافتراضية، 6 مايو 2022، 10 صباحًا - 12 ظهرًا
  • مجموعة التركيز المعنية بالشركاء المجتمعيين وجهًا لوجه، 11 مايو 2022، 5 مساءً - 7 مساءً،
     2900 Business Center Dr.، قاعة المؤتمرات A وB

إذا كنت غير قادر على حضور إحدى جلسات مجموعة التركيز، يُرجى تخصيص 15 دقيقة لإكمال الاستبيان لتقديم التوصيات. الموعد النهائي لإكمال الاستبيان هو يوم الجمعة 13 مايو 2022.

إن مساهماتك ضرورية ونحن نعمل على تطوير هذه الأداة. سوف تُشكّل إجاباتك وتوصياتك إنشاء أداة المساواة العِرقية الخاصة بنا لمساعدتنا على تعزيز المساواة العِرقية في عملنا حتى نتمكن من تلبية احتياجات جميع مواطني الإسكندرية (Alexandria) بشكل أفضل.

يتوفر هذا البريد الإلكتروني والاستبيان باللغات الإسبانية والأمهرية والعربية من خلال اتباع هذه الروابط.
