Email from Gina DuQueene
Hello All,
I wanted to share my liaison report with you ahead of time. There are many topics and
discussion to be had during the meeting. Therefore, I thought I would share now.
The beginning of November Hillary Larson contacted me and introduced me to Rev. Dr. Terrlyn
Curry Avery the author of the book Dismantling Racism. Rev. Dr. Avery is an author, a poet and
a teacher. She is a wealth of knowledge and compassion.
nd
November 22 she spoke and there was a discussion and booking signing over seventy five
people were there. After the discussion everyone walked away with anti-racism resources.
Also some of my constituents helped Hillary put this event on. They are wanting to do a larger
event this Spring and continue the conversation. Perhaps SERJAC may want be a part of putting
this on.
Nov. 23rd. 2023 was the second anniversary of Aidan Ellison murder. With my very short term
planning 102 people showed up for Aidan. Rev. Dr. Avery spoke and the students with Truth to
Power were there and this was a compassionate vigil for Aidan. I hope this advisory committee
to the council may want to take this on annually.
When I think of SERJ I also think of housing and how this body can invite the planning dept. and
planning commission to discuss workforce housing, the unhoused, red lining and gentrification.
The Public Arts Advisory Committee is also looking at vacant walls and areas where there can
be murals through out the city. Perhaps SERJAC may want to work with them as well.
I was looking at the calendar it is packed with days of remembrance, Holidays, and national days
along with the ones that stand out for us. The city of Ashland maybe able to add information
about these dates to the website. This would bring attention to people that this is happening on
this date and what it means.
Is SERJAC looking at the calendar and planning to do any celebrations this year? If so what and
how can I help?
Thank you,
Gina
