City Highlight_Mayors Equity Initiative

As communities across the nation continue to protest unfair treatment of citizens, Daytona Beach Mayor Derrick Henry is kicking off an equity initiative so the community can come together to help take steps to achieve the dream of a bias-free society.

“It is incumbent upon every citizen, neighborhood, institution and business to respond to what I view as an opportunity to have thought-provoking conversations, and establish sensible equity approaches for our community,” said Mayor Henry. “There is a role for every segment of our society, including business, education, law enforcement, healthcare and government to make a difference for others in our community.”

To kick off the Mayor’s Equity Initiative, the Mayor is hosting a virtual listening session that is open to the public from 2 to 4 p.m. Monday, June 29.
