PORTLAND — The city’s Racial Equity Steering Committee is looking for additional public input between now and April 21 when its recommendations are due to the City Council.
The committee has hosted two public comment sessions in its effort to address racial and public safety inequities in the city, but it would like “to hear from a wide array of community members – not just those who can attend the scheduled public comment sessions,” according to press release from the city.
Written public comments can be submitted through an online at form. They also may be emailed to RESC@portlandmaine.gov.

We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
