EASTON Elaine O’Keefe isn’t discouraged.
Though town residents voted 1,259 to 761 last week to defeat a resolution to declare racism a public health problem, the Easton resident and health equity advocate said she doesn’t think the discussion of racism and its impact on health is over.
“We have a lot of work to do and a lot of education and outreach to do,” O’Keefe said.
The resolution’s defeat comes months after O’Keefe originally pitched the idea to the Easton Board of Selectman. Having worked in public health for more than 40 years, she said, she’s long been concerned about racial inequities in health. She said the murder of George Floyd by police in Minnesota last year and the COVID-19 pandemic which many experts have said has disproportionately affected people of color brought the issues to the forefront. ....

TRUMBULL The reformed Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Task Force could be up and running again by summer, according to town council member Ashley Gaudiano.
“I think we’ve received seven or eight applications for the four open spots on the task force, and the hope is that we’ll keep the applications open for another few weeks to see if we get a few more applicants,” Gaudiano, D-4th, said. “It would be nice to have a bigger pool of people to start going through the process.” ....

TRUMBULL Half of the town’s Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Task Force members have quit in the past two months amid controversy over the group’s chairman.
The last time the eight-member group met was in January, shortly before social media blew up over chairman Tara Figueroa’s comments made in July calling the Blue Lives Matter flag a symbol of racial bigotry and comparing it to the Confederate flag.
The comments came to light in February. The February meeting was not held and now the March 18 meeting has been canceled because the group no longer has a quorum. ....

TRUMBULL The town’s Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Task Force will continue with Tara Figueroa as its chair, despite an effort to shut the committee down until she resigns or is removed.
“I have not violated any ethical guidelines or codes of conduct,” Figueroa said. “This experience has really amplified to me why there needs to be such a thing as a diversity committee.”
Figueroa has been under fire on social media over comments she made in July calling the Blue Lives Matter flag a symbol of racial bigotry and comparing it to the Confederate flag. The town’s police union, Police Commission Chairman Ray Baldwin and scores of private citizens have called for her removal and social media comments have grown increasingly hostile. ....
