Embracing the spirit of inclusivity, the City of Goleta recognizes the many October awareness days and campaigns throughout the month that promote the ideas of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
Indigenous Peoples Day – Monday, Oct 9th
Indigenous Peoples’ Day honors and acknowledges the rich cultures, histories, and contributions of Indigenous peoples around the world. This day serves as an opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations that can build toward a more equitable future. By taking the time to learn and understand their experiences, struggles, and triumphs we can amplify their voices and advocate for their rights.

Disability Employment Awareness Month is an opportunity to shine a spotlight and recognize the talents, skills, and unique perspectives that disabled employees bring to the table. Let’s break down barriers, challenge stereotypes, and foster a culture of inclusivity in the workplace. Together, we can create a workplace that embraces diversity and empowers everyone to thrive.
