I grew up in Los Alamos and have been feeling a bit lost in the world lately and wanted to do something. However, since I am still in school, my options are slightly limited.

For now, the first step is always finding out more information. As a result, I created this survey to gather data about how residents of Los Alamos County feel about race issues in the community.

The data from this survey also will be used to help structure diversity/inclusivity programs, workshops, training, etc.

This survey is completely anonymous; there is a verification question at the end just to make sure that you have some sort of tie to Los Alamos County. It is important for people to be as honest in this survey as possible and comfortable sharing their perspectives without consequence. Without an open and safe environment to share perspectives, we won’t be able to identify areas of improvement in our community.

I would greatly appreciate it if you took the time to answer this survey honestly and completely. Based on these results, I will plan out an approach with other members of the community to address the racial issues in Los Alamos County.

Please also share this survey! The more responses, the better results!

Thank you, stay safe and healthy, and have a wonderful day!
