  • Fostering tolerance, respect, understanding, equity and inclusion;
  • Promoting non-violence and non-violent conflict resolution;
  • Focusing resources on underlying causes and conditions that lead to inequitable resource and justice distribution; and

¿Qué es el Comité de Planificación del Foro de Visión Comunitaria del Condado de Lake?

El martes, 23 de Febrero de 2021 los residentes de la comunidad del Condado de Lake, observaron  a la Junta de Supervisores proclamar unánimemente su prioridad  a “Promover la tolerancia, el respeto, la equidad y la inclusión.”

Este momento histórico es un importante esfuerzo para la comunidad y fue anunciado por cada Supervisor. Cada Supervisor leyó una parte de la Proclamación y afirmó su compromiso de organizar al menos un Foro de Visión Comunitaria para descubrir las prioridades en las siguientes categorías:

  • Acciones y actividades significativas que construirán puentes donde puede haber muros;
  • Promover la tolerancia, el respeto, la comprensión, la equidad y la inclusión;
  • Promover y resolver conflictos sin violencia 
  • Enfocar nuestros recursos en las causas y condiciones que condujeron a una injusta distribución de recursos y justicia; y
  • Soluciones relevantes para cualquier injusticia social.

Los miembros y líderes de la comunidad del condado de Lake, las ciudades de Clearlake y Lakeport y los gobiernos tribales que resonaron con la Proclamación de la Junta se ofrecieron como voluntarios para ser parte de este esfuerzo histórico, sirviendo en el Comité de Planificación del Foro de Visión Comunitaria de todo el Condado.
