Gaudette, Angela From: Sent: To: Subject: Erica Douglass <erica@erica.biz> Tuesday, June 23, 2020 8:26 AM PAZ Preservation Demolish the house at Park View Dr. *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Hi, As a property owner of one of the original 1950’s houses on Daugherty St., I say let the people on Park View demolish their house. Yes, our houses are part of history, but that doesn’t mean anyone should be forced to live in them. They have awkward layouts and aren’t really suitable for modern work‐from‐home families. Let them build something more suitable for their family, and keep the history in the library and photos where anyone can see it. ‐Erica CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source.

In addition, there is an adjacent patio with built-in planters and overhead protection at the intersection of 3rd and Brazos. These all serve to activate the public ROW. 2.

The Brazos Street side includes windows in and overhead protection.

This initiative was kicked off to help spread the message of togetherness and sense of one world while dealing with current pandemic . Each sister city was requested to create a poster to inline with the theme of togetherness. We received amazing response and support. This created a very good opportunity to see art/expressions from different sister cultures. Here are couple of posters from this project You can see all posters on the Austin Sister Cities International (ASCI) facebook page http://www.facebook.com/asci (2) Artist Inputs for Creative Space funding options City of Austin is working towards a plan of potentially purchasing struggling music venues. https://austin.culturemap.com/news/entertainment/05‐25‐20‐city‐council‐tunes‐up‐plan‐for‐potential‐ purchase‐of‐music‐venues/ We reached out to various artists in the community to share this information and seek inputs on Asian artists needs. We will reach out to more artists and work towards compiling all requests/suggestions. (3) Arts Commission meeting Members of art workgroup attended Arts Commission meeting on June 17th.

Organization Project Description allgo’s QPOC Health and Healing Symposium will create a vital opportunity for Queer People of Color (QPOC) to connect to and benefit from culturally specific health and wellness information, resources, services, and practitioners, addressing the structural barriers that create significant health disparities for QPOC. Free health screenings: blood pressure, sugar/diabetes, HIV/STI testing; workshops: mental health, nutrition, wellness, harm reduction; and healing services: acupuncture, massage, y allgo In 2020, Austin Bat Cave’s (ABC) East Side onsite after- school program (East Side) will provide free one-on-one and small-group creative writing, tutoring, and homework instruction to 60 students from low-income families on the east side of Austin. We will serve 30 students each semester: 15 students from nearby Blackshear Elementary and 15 from Kealing Middle School. We will employ a 1:5 tutor-student ratio and our instructors will help students complete homework and learn the writing process. Austin Bat Cave Impact on Equity Research and experience demonstrate that culturally specific approaches are necessary to interrupt the ways that systemic racism, heterosexism, and transphobia impede full participation in the benefits of health and wellness services and increase the allostatic load for those bearing the brunt of these oppressions. Through this project, QPOC will be able to create meaningful connections with local QPOC health and wellness practitioners while also receiving direct health services and current culturally specific research based health and wellness information that will have long lasting benefits and lead to life changing outcomes. With approximately 72 percent of students from our partner schools at-risk and 83 percent economically disadvantaged, ABC programs address an accessibility gap in Austin, which was named the most economically segregated major metro area in the U.S. (Badger, 2015). Our mission is to empower young voices and to create educational opportunities for those who have experienced marginalization due to economic status or identity-based discrimination and create an inclusive arts community. Youth arts education programs like ABC’s have been proven to be the most significant predictor of future arts creation and arts attendance (NEA, February 2011). In 2020, 60 under-served youth will participate in the East Side program. East Side creates a safe space and positive learning environment for youth during the high crime after- school hours, thus keeping our community safer, and sparks in our students a lifelong pursuit of arts experiences and creation.
