BACKGROUND
At the July 22, 2025, Regular Meeting, a discussion took place regarding the biannual workplan. Given the current political landscape and recent incidents surrounding immigration and ICE and the impact on the Culver City Community, EHRAC reached consensus to host an October Community Conversation centered around immigration and ICE’s impact on the Culver City Community.

At the August 19, 2025, Special Meeting, EHRAC reviewed and discussed the report (Attachment 2) from the October Community Conversation Ad Hoc Subcommittee (Attachment 2) and reached consensus to: (1) utilize Right to Be to facilitate a Bystander Intervention - Support for Immigrant Communities Training Session on October 21, 2025, for a portion of the event which will be held in conjunction with United Against Hate Week; and (2) hear a report from the October Community Conversation Ad Hoc Subcommittee at the September 16, 2025, Special Meeting.
At the September 16, 2025, Special Meeting, EHRAC reviewed, discussed and approved the report provided by the October Community Conversation Ad Hoc Subcommittee (Attachment 1), and reached consensus to have a discussion and debrief immediately following the event on October 21, 2025.
