Re: [WardFive] FYI N 4/13

The last paragraph in the attached article recommends some actions to deal head-on with the racial disparities in health care delivery.  Perhaps you can include them in ongoing discussions with this Ward 5 leadership team, Mayor Bowser and her senior management team, and the Council.

Good afternoon,

 

I wish to thank our Councilmember McDuffie  for his letter to his colleagues  and our Mayor. See attached letter.

His letter is a reminder to every one of the unequal racial  equity.

Notice To ANC/Civic Leaders: Councilmember McDuffie's COVID-19 Racial Equity Letter

 

I hope you all are safe and healthy during this time.  Councilmember McDuffie would like to thank you for joining Friday's leadership call.  During the call Councilmember McDuffie discussed his work on racial equity during the COVID-19 public health emergency.  I have attached a copy of the letter that Councilmember McDuffie sent on March 23^rd to Mayor Bowser and his colleagues requesting that our government make decisions through the lens of racial equity.

 

If you have any questions or concerns, please call or email me.

 

Sincerely,

Jonathan McNair

Community and Communications Manager  

 

 

Thanks Marilyn Thornton
