You’re invited to join Senator Dave Cortese, Assemblyman Ash Kalra (Assembly District 25), and an exceptional panel for a Town Hall on Racial Justice and Poverty in Santa Clara County. The Town Hall will be held on Saturday, April 6th from 1pm to 2:30pm at MetroED’s Silicon Valley Career Technical Education Auditorium located at 760 Hillsdale Ave. in San Jose, CA 95136.
Last year, the Human Rights Institute at San Jose State University (SJSU) released its fourth annualSilicon Valley Pain Index. The report is full of startling findings, including that Silicon Valley residents are worth a combined $1.5 trillion, but our region leads the nation in youth homelessness. SJSU Professor Scott Meyers-Lipton will present key takeaways highlighting inequities in the Economy, Workforce Development, and Criminal Justice.
Local leaders from Silicon Valley De-Bug, Working Partnerships USA, and the TechEquity Collaborative will join us to share how they are bridging the equity gap.
Seating will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. For more information, please get in touch with Zachary Contini at 408-558-1295 or Zachary.Contini@sen.ca.gov.
