Function

The mission of the Racial Equity and Justice Task Force (REJTF), established in 2020, is to identify any racial and ethnic inequalities and injustices in the Town governance and operations and to provide the BOS with proposals and improvements to effectively minimize or eliminate them. Using measurable data, interviews, and any other means deemed appropriate by the BOS, the REJTF will analyze, examine, and document these injustices – past and/or present - to promote, support, and identify equitable opportunities and outcomes for all residents of Fairfield. A major component of the Task Force was its 18-month work on the Racial Equity and Justice Task Force Blueprint which you can read here
