City offers civil rights workshops
Monday, February 24, 2020 by Tai Moses
Imagine Austin envisions Austin as “a beacon of sustainability, social equity and economic opportunity; where diversity and creativity are celebrated; where community needs and values are recognized; where leadership comes from its citizens and where the necessities of life are affordable and accessible to all.” The city would like community members to help it realize this lofty vision by asking for their input at a series of workshops aimed at protecting the civil rights of all Austinites. All workshops are at 6:30 p.m. on the following days and locations:
- Wednesday, March 4, Austin Public Library Ruiz Branch, 1600 Grove Blvd.
- Friday, March 6, Turner Roberts Rec Center, 7201 Colony Loop Drive
- Wednesday, March 11, Carver Library, 1161 Angelina St.
If you’d like to weigh in on this important issue but can’t attend a workshop, complete the online survey. Find more information at SpeakUpAustin.org.
