West Fresno Black/Brown Solidarity and Strategy Caucus
During this Affinity Group space, project staff, City officials, and community based organization (CBO) representatives will have a chance to participate in rotating feedback sessions led by residents. The focus of this caucus will be West Fresno Black/Brown Solidarity and Strategy development.
The main questions we will be discussing include: 1) What are the unique challenges facing Black residents, 2) What are the unique challenges facing Brown residents, and 3) What would it take to unify our efforts to improve quality of life for Black and Brown residents in solidarity?

Affinity Group Caucus Day
Community and civic engagement in the CAN community (and in adjacent neighborhoods) has often yielded resident feedback about imbalances between the rationale for investments and the ultimate beneficiaries of those resources.
On Affinity Group Caucus Day, project staff, City officials, and developers will have a chance to participate in rotating feedback sessions led by residents. There will be 4-5 virtual affinity group sessions, each 90 minutes in length, throughout the day. Each session will take place in two parts: 1) closed affinity space facilitated by cultural specialists, and 2) affinity group pop-ins by City officials. A culminating event a few weeks after Caucus Day will create a space for a collective discussion about overarching themes and follow-up actions discovered during the sessions.
Project staff, City officials, and developers will keep a journal of thoughts and reflections throughout the day. These journals entries will be sorted into actionable follow-up or planning interventions and those details will be shared back to the caucus participants for transparency and for use in further community conversations about racial equity and social justice.
