SAN DIEGO COUNTY, Calif. — Mayor Todd Gloria announced Wednesday the formation of a nine-member group of advisers that will help his administration tackle unique challenges facing Black communities.
"I'm pleased that we've been able to assemble such an accomplished group of individuals who will strengthen our efforts to create a more inclusive San Diego," Gloria said. "I recognize the disparities our Black communities face related to education, access to health care, mental health, housing, transportation, food insecurity, employment and entrepreneurship and I firmly believe their input will get us on the right track of equity."
I’m proud to announce these accomplished leaders as members of my Black Advisory Group, which represents the first of my BIPOC advisory groups. These advisers will guide my administration, ensuring that we have more diversity, inclusion and equity across San Diego #ForAllOfUs. pic.twitter.com/YMnSAVOr7q— San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria (@MayorToddGloria) February 10, 2021
