By a 5-0 vote Tuesday, the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisor adopted a resolution “affirming that racism [is] a public health crisis.'
the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday declared it was the first California county to actively recognize another public health crisis: racism.
“This is historic for San Bernardino County in taking the first step,” said Board Chairman Curt Hagman. “We’re probably the only county we have in California, so far, doing this, and this is the beginning of what we’re doing. This is not the end result.
There are also plans for more collaboration between the county’s law enforcement and justice agencies to boost public confidence, along with the creation of an “Equity Element Group” to identify and research public concerns related to law enforcement.The group is expected to include county experts in such fields as education and health along with members of the community.
He added, in regards to the Equity Element Group, “It is vitally important that we’re at the table lifting our voices and speaking for ourselves and claiming for ourselves.”
