The Community Conversations series concluded at the end of 2022.

Community Conversations is a series of programs hosted by the City of Mercer Island and developed by One MI and Do the Work MI, two community groups focused on advancing inclusivity and supporting families of color on Mercer Island. The series is provided with the intention of increasing awareness of issues of racism and inequity, sharing real-life experiences, providing tools & resources, and promoting the value of a diverse Mercer Island community.

The format of each session may include group discussion, engagement activities, and hard-copy materials provided to participants. Sessions will be provided through the Zoom virtual platform and potentially at in-person events as COVID-19 protocols and guidance allow.

Please support HB 1110 at the state level! Missing middle housing, which that bill is designed to address by upzoning residential areas near transit, is a huge barrier to people of color being able to live on the island. Zoning is one of the primary ways small towns keep diversity out. Please do not stand in the way of improving diversity and the lives of those of us who weren't able to buy houses on the island 20 years ago!

Zero public comments. Yikes. Either the messaging is not getting out, or this is not a pressing issue for the citizens. I worry the lack of public comment -- like none -- would be interpreted as disinterest. I hope not.
