Allow us to introduce ourselves🖐️ The Office Equity & Inclusion (OEI) is a department within the City of Albuquerque that Mayor Tim Keller restructured from the former Human Rights Office. OEI's mission is to inspire and equip city government to make Albuquerque a national role model of racial equity and social justice. OEI's goals include to develop a workforce that is representative of the City's demographics, to increase local purchasing with companies owned by people of color, to invest in areas of the city that have been under served, and to ensure that the City delivers services in an equitable and inclusive manner. To make these goals a reality, we have the Office of Immigrant and Refugees Affairs, the Office of Native American Affairs, the Office of Black Community Engagement, and the Financial Empowerment Programs under the OEI umbrella.

Did you know that July is Disability Pride Month? In the U.S 1 in 4 adults and over 3 million children have a disability. July is a time to celebrate disabled persons embracing their disabilities as integral parts of who they are, reclaiming visibility in public and interacting fully with their disabilities out in the open, and rejecting shame and internalized ableism.

Earlier this week we gathered with tribal leaders from around the state to celebrate the signing of the Tribal Notification and Engagement Consultation amendment to the City’s Integrated Development Ordinance (IDO). The amendment creates an opportunity for feedback from tribal representatives when planning new developments near historic and culturally significant tribal land. We're proud to see Albuquerque lead the nation with this first-of-its-kind initiative, and we look forward to a flourishing partnership with tribal leaders as our communities continue to grow.

Last week, our former Office of Black Community Engagement Liaison Nichole Rogers was sworn in as City Councilor for District 6! We are incredibly proud of Councilor Rogers, as she makes history as the first Black woman elected to Albuquerque City Council. We also want to acknowledge that in 1977, Solomon Brown, a Black man, was appointed to the governing body for three months.

Wishing Councilor Rogers the best of luck tonight at her first council meeting!
