Click Here for Your "Youth and Families Initiative" Suggestion Box

Mayor Mike McGinn is seeking input for the city's Youth and Families Initiative. The results are supposed to help the mayor prioritize what gets done to eliminate "racial disparities in key indicators such as education, child care, children’s health and the criminal justice system." (My feedback is that it could use a better name, for starters. I've been ignoring that subject line in my inbox for weeks.)

Five group meetings will be held, beginning with tonight at the Rainier Community Center from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. The next four are:

• March 1 – Northgate Elementary School 7:00-8:30 p.m.
• March 8 – Van Asselt Elementary School 7:00-8:30 p.m.
• March 15 – Denny Middle School 7:00-8:30 p.m.
• March 22 – Garfield Community Center 7:00-8:30 p.m.

But if you can't make it to a meeting in person, you can still give the mayor a piece of your mind, using the form below. It's not our form--all results go directly to the Youth and Families Initiative.
