Roeland Park Racial Equity Committee Community Survey
The Ad Hoc Racial Equity Committee was founded in September 2020 as part of Roeland Park City Council's  Racial Equity Resolution no. 682. The committee is made up of residents and city officials, with the purpose of reviewing the City's policies and determining how we can become more inclusive as a community. For more information on the committee's meetings, contact information, and more resources, please visit our website: http://bit.ly/3eey5tQ.

Please take a moment to share your experiences as a resident, visitor, or member of the workforce in Roeland Park. The goals of this survey are to identify current racial inequities in individuals' experiences in Roeland Park, receive community feedback on priorities for community projects related to racial equity, and learn more about residents' attitudes and knowledge about racism and anti-racist work.

All information will be collected anonymously. The survey will take approximately 5 minutes to complete. Please complete this survey by April 15, 2021. Thank you for your time and participation.

For the purposes of this survey, "racism" is defined as "the marginalization and/or oppression of people of color based on a socially constructed hierarchy that privileges white people" (ADL, 2021).  

"Racial equity" is defined as "the condition in which one's racial identity no longer predicts how one fares. This includes elimination of policies, practices, attitudes, and cultural messages that reinforce differential outcomes by race or that fail to eliminate them" (CAPD).
