LEWISTON Officials are seeking feedback on developing an equity statement for the Twin Cities, an initiative meant to re-establish the work of the City SPIRIT council that formed in 2018 to address conflict and inequity.
The council is a collaboration of city, school and community leaders from Lewiston and Auburn, which is now turning its focus on continuing the work of Lewiston’s Equity and Diversity Committee.
It will host a virtual discussion Friday to solicit feedback on the statement, which according to its website will “provide a common foundation and commitment to the healing of inequality and provide space and opportunity for truly equitable approaches for all community members to flourish.”
