We have assembled a panel to discuss Ashland City Council’s proposal for a new city commission – Race and Social Equity Commission. We are planning a lively discussion about the goals and vision of the commission. Our input and questions will be heard by two of the panelists – Ashland Mayor Julie Akins and Ashland Councilor Gina DuQuenne who are strong supporters of the commission.  We have asked local persons of color to engage them and us in a discussion around the issues of race and social equity in the Rogue Valley and in Ashland. The panelists are: Dr. Alma Alvarez, Kokayi Nosakhere, Teresa Cisneros, and Mmmingpha.
