Purpose (By-Laws) The objective of the Commission shall be: Tukwila Municipal Code 2.29.010 ●To promote understanding that accepts, celebrates and appreciates diversity within the community. ●To serve as a resource for the community by providing information and educational forums that will facilitate a better understanding and awareness of social justice and human rights. ●To provide recommendations to the Mayor and City Council regarding opportunities to increase equity and social justice awareness and promote social justice programs. ESJC Meetings ●First Thursday of every month at 5:30pm ●Meetings are held at the City of Tukwila Justice Center: ○15005 Tukwila International Boulevard, Tukwila, WA 98168 In Practice City Departments are strongly encouraged to prepare informational memorandums which consist of City policies, programs and services that will impact the Tukwila Community.

This work includes the implementation of the Equity Policy, reviewal of EPIC’s work. Additionally, the ESJC will provide feedback to the EPIC committee and the Council as to the progress of the policy’s implementation process. Turning Equity Practice into Action ●Get out into the community, develop and deepen non-transactional relationships built on mutual trust which leads to…. ●Ask the community - what are the barriers to inclusion/participation in the particular arena in which you are involved? What are the strengths in the community that can be resources that you tap into more deeply? ●Who stands to lose the most from a particular policy? Who stands to gain the most? ●Critically examine past engagement activities to learn what the community has been asking for (digital records center) ○E.g. teen and senior center, Tukwila Pond Master Plan, Economic Development Plan, Biennial Budget Policies determine Community Outcomes Tukwila is a majority immigrant, refugee, African American, South American, Southeast Asian, African, and low income city. It is our collective responsibility to move toward equity and social justice. ●What is your point of intervention to interrupt systems that perpetuate cycles of poverty for the benefit of all, not just the few? ●What partnerships do you have that can illuminate blindspots in your thinking? ●What are you personally doing to make this possible? When you seek feedback from the ESJC ●Come to the commission with a specific policy or plan along with specificity around your point of intervention and strategy ●Be prepared with the data - do your homework and bring it to us ●Be specific about desired feedback ●Come with an open mind, as it is often our work to apply a critical lens Each individual’s unique set of talents and perspectives is necessary for this work.
