Below is a reflection written by Laurel Hollis
Recently I joined a large group of people from SacACT and Mutual Housing for a tour of the Sacramento Board of Supervisors and a question and answer session with County District 2 Supervisor Patrick Kennedy. The idea behind the tour was to familiarize us with the home of our County government and to make us more comfortable with attending and speaking at board meetings. Showing up and expressing our point of view at these meetings has a real impact on the County’s decisions. Still, it’s intimidating. Doing the tour and sitting down with Patrick made me feel more confident about attending in the future. I was struck by two things. First, I noted the diversity of our group. There was a sprinkling of non-profit staff members to guide us. There were also people new to SacACT who learned about the event on social media. Some were residents of Mutual Housing properties who were gaining leadership skills to represent their fellow residents’ voices as people in need of wrap around services. Some of us came from other cities. Some were quick to pose questions to the Supervisor. Some required translation services, and were able to follow along with support from a SacACT staffer. Second, I was impressed with Mr. Kennedy’s breadth of knowledge of our county. I didn’t know that Supervisors serve not only on the governing board, but also on numerous other boards and commissions. Patrick serves on thirty boards, notably the Regional Transit District. He took the light rail to our meeting, despite having a bad back that morning. He answered our questions in detail, with a minimum of hedging and avoiding difficult topics. We spent time discussing affordable housing, and the complicated legal and financial requirements that result in long timelines to bring projects to completion. Hazel Watson, our organizer, is hoping to schedule more tours and interviews with other Supervisors in the future. I recommend going to learn more about our local government and to feel less intimidated about speaking up for the issues that are so important to us.

A continuación se muestra una reflexión escrita por Laurel Hollis
Recientemente me uní a un gran grupo de personas de SacACT y Mutual Housing para un recorrido por la Junta de Supervisores de Sacramento y una sesión de preguntas y respuestas con el Supervisor del Distrito 2 del Condado, Patrick Kennedy. La idea detrás del recorrido era familiarizarnos con la sede de nuestro gobierno del condado y hacernos sentir más cómodos asistiendo y hablando en las reuniones de la junta. Asistir y expresar nuestro punto de vista en estas reuniones tiene un impacto real en las decisiones del condado. Aun así, es intimidante. Hacer el recorrido y sentarme con Patrick me hizo sentir más segura sobre asistir en el futuro. Me impresionaron dos cosas. Primero, noté la diversidad de nuestro grupo. Había un pequeño número de miembros del personal de organizaciones sin fines de lucro para guiarnos. También había personas nuevas en SacACT que se enteraron del evento a través de las redes sociales. Algunos eran residentes de propiedades de Mutual Housing que estaban adquiriendo habilidades de liderazgo para representar las voces de sus compañeros residentes como personas que necesitan servicios integrales. Algunos de nosotros veníamos de otras ciudades. Algunos no dudaron en hacer preguntas al Supervisor. Otros requerían servicios de traducción, y pudieron seguir el evento con el apoyo de un miembro del personal de SacACT. Segundo, me impresionó la amplitud de conocimientos del Sr. Kennedy sobre nuestro condado. No sabía que los Supervisores no solo sirven en la junta de gobierno, sino también en numerosas otras juntas y comisiones. Patrick sirve en treinta juntas, notablemente en el Distrito de Tránsito Regional. Tomó el tren ligero para llegar a nuestra reunión, a pesar de tener un dolor de espalda esa mañana. Respondió nuestras preguntas con detalle, con un mínimo de evasivas y sin evitar los temas difíciles. Pasamos tiempo discutiendo sobre la vivienda asequible y los complejos requisitos legales y financieros que resultan en largos plazos para completar los proyectos. Hazel Watson, nuestra organizadora, espera programar más recorridos y entrevistas con otros Supervisores en el futuro. Recomiendo asistir para aprender más sobre nuestro gobierno local y sentir menos intimidación al hablar sobre los temas que son tan importantes para nosotros.
