Yes, difficult and complex. Definitely no easy solutions.

It's what used to be called the Diversity and Inclusion Committee, formed under the Mielke administration. It's chaired by ald. Tom Kilian and is not a standing committee. Other than Kilian is is comprised of citizen members.

I understand and support a Diversity and Inclusion Committee. "Freedom and Liberation" does not suggest any mission to me ... is that the intent of the title?

I think a lot of people scratched their heads a bit at that one. Sources on the original commission told me the first version of the committee wasn't well-run or accomplishing anything, and I think (but this me remembering back a few years) that the new name was meant to sort of renew the committee. But I don't recall hearing the reasoning of the actual name itself, just that a new name was needed. It does indeed not really suggest its mission.
