EAI Initiative

In 2021, the Sunnyvale City Council made equity, access and inclusion a new Council priority. The initiative represents Sunnyvale’s commitment to fostering equitable outcomes for all community members where individual and group identities do not pre-determine outcomes.

To guide the initiative, the City formed an internal equity team called the Sunnyvale Employees for Equity and Diversity (SEED). In 2022, The the City Council created a Human Relations Commission.
