It's time to re-imagine and re-engage. It's time for equity | Opinion

On Oct. 22, 2020, the St. Helena City Council approved Resolution 2020, which states “discrimination and systemic racism constitute a public health crisis causing disparities in mental well being, language access, housing, economic development, health and criminal justice experience, and reaffirming its commitment to advancing justice, equity, diversity and inclusion in the city.”
It’s important that we recognize issues of systemic racism exist in our towns, cities and neighborhoods. Many of us have never experienced racism, prejudice or discrimination first hand. And herein lies the quandary. Would we see it if it were right in front of us? Would we do something about it? Would we speak up?
