St. Pete 2.0 Results: St. Pete Still Has a Long Way To Go In Efforts Toward Racial Equity, Inclusion

Published on March 2, 2019 by Megan Holmes of the St. Pete Catalyst

In honor of Black History Month, at the beginning of February, we put out a survey asking our readers about racial equity. We wanted to use the forum of St. Pete 2.0 to take a snapshot of current community sentiments about race – authentically recognizing our difficult past, while also recognizing that most people in St. Pete want to move forward in constructive ways. We asked respondents to answer seven open-ended questions regarding racial equity. We asked them to assess the current state of equity, identify barriers to equity and suggest action items to help make the city more cohesive and supportive. We asked respondents about the roles of the city, education system and business community in making St. Pete a more inclusive and equitable city, and asked readers to identify what they would personally do to create such a city.
