LWVPA Focus on Racial Justice: extensive resources available ​

On June 23, 2020, the board of the League of Women Voters of Palo Alto declared that addressing systemic racism would be a 2020-2021 priority for our League. See the full statement here. In this context, we offer a set of resource lists, categorized by the medium in which they appear: article/blog, book, podcast, film, video, Zoom, etc, plus offerings from several organizations with yet more sources of racial justice information. We hope this tool will help you find whatever resources you seek on this topic.

City Council, School Board, Human Relations Commission, and Board of Supervisors Meetings

Because the COVID-19 global pandemic makes it unsafe for the public to gather, all regular meetings of the Palo Alto City Council, PAUSD Board of Education and Human Relations Commission will be live-streamed until further notice. No physical meeting place will be provided. Also, certain meetings of the Board of Supervisors and Board Policy Committees will be held by teleconference only. 

​See this article for how to live-stream and participate in meetings of these public bodies.
