Press release from Keep it Moving Coalition:
Join us for a Virtual Asheville City Council Candidates Forum on Racial Equity on Wednesday, Sept. 9 from 7 to 8:30 pm.
Co-hosts of this forum include: Keep it Moving Coalition, YMI Cultural Center, Building Bridges, and AVL Racial Equity Collective.
The purpose of the forum is to go beyond sound bytes and hear from the candidates; their vision for racial equity in Asheville, how they are practicing that vision, and how prepared and committed they are to implement detailed policy and budgetary changes that, beyond rhetoric, influence the lives of Black and Brown people and the culture of the City of Asheville.
Questions will be submitted by the public in advance and curated by the hosting organizations. If there is time, people can submit questions in the chat, and moderators will choose questions to ask from the chat.
