#a2council posted a “perfect score” on LGBTQ+ inclusion.
So what’s the score on #a2BlackClimate?
Is there one?
If inclusion can be measured, so can Black outcomes: health, education, housing, wealth, jobs, policing, displacement.
Equity without metrics is branding.
What’s AA's #a2BlackClimate score?

Kodak’s Shirley Cards made white skin the default, leaving Black and brown people underexposed. Ann Arbor City Council works the same way: policies calibrated for whiteness, then surprise when Black folks disappear from the picture. That’s systemic racism. #a2council #a2BlackClimate

Greenbelt: Because Ann Arbor wants affordable labor, not affordable housing. A Burwood Wall with native plants.
Orville L. Hubbard would approve.

Can #a2council justify the expense of operating two (2) golf courses in the city limits?
116 acres of land close to highways, schools, shopping bus lines and hospitals could be put to much better use.
BTW, 1925 Ann Arbor wasn't the most equitable place for housing.

Did y'all see the Mayor's latest piece of gaslighting?
Two years after the DNA sweep the AAPD escorted the Klan to the steps of City Hall to protect their 1st amendment rights.
Today, still no reparative measures in the Master Plan.
Can't believe what you say bc I see what you do.

#a2council Honest question for the planners, professors & policy experts:
When a developer donates to most of Council, then wins approval for a project that sends millions in public support back their way—what do we call that?
“Smart growth” or quid pro quo with better branding?

Appreciate your time and transparency.
ETA: **Also, when can the public expect a substantial update on the City Council’s 2020 resolution to investigate local reparations?** It’s been nearly four years since that commitment was made.
