BHRC Proposed to Burbank City Council
ADOPTED: BHRC proposed Sundown Town Resolution to Burbank City Council
In November 2020 BHRC met with Burbank City Council Members
We reviewed BHRC history, some areas of focus, plans for community engagement including Stand Against Hate initiative, Neighborhood Sign Campaign, and 2021 Community Dialogues. We presented action items for consideration including a Sundown Town Resolution ( see below). The Council Council adopted the resolution on Tuesday DECEMBER 8, 2020!
The resolution set forth a commitment to review City policies and practices through an anti-racist lens, and engage with the community on issues of racism, discrimination and social justice.
