Why are you I am interested in serving on the Dubuque Human Rights

applying for this respected, included, and treated with fairness. My experience
working with low-income students and families at Thomas Jefferson

systemic barriers that many in our community face. Whether through
supporting LEAP after -school programming or collaborating with
families to access critical resources, I have seen how advocacy and
education can empower underrepresented voices. I look forward to
bringing this perspective to the Commission to help eliminate
discrimination and promote a high quality of life for all Dubuquers.

tools they need to succeed. This aligns with the Commission's goal
of eliminating barriers to education.
Archival Integrity and Documentation: My work establishing the
school's history archive and my Master of Library and Information
Science degree have trained me in meticulous record -keeping and
database management. These skills are essential for the
Commission's responsibility to investigate and document
discrimination complaints with impartiality and precision.
Community Education & Outreach: I have a proven track record of
local engagement, from supervising programs at the Carnegie -Stout
Public Library to presenting at the Dubuque Free School. I am eager
to use these communication skills to help the Commission publicize
and promote human rights ordinances to the wider Dubuque
community.
Analytical Perspective on Inequality: My academic research into
wealth inequality, which I have presented at national conferences like
the American Schools of Overseas Research, provides me with a
critical framework for understanding systemic disparities. I can apply
this analytical lens to help the Commission identify and address
modern-day inequities in housing and employment.
Through the Thomas Jefferson LRC, I serve as a bridge between
information and the public. I look forward to bringing that same
dedication to transparency and justice to the residents of Dubuque.

Comments Dear City Council Members,
As a lifelong Dubuque resident and a
homeowner in the Washington Neighborhood
since 2016, 1 care deeply about the equity and
wellbeing of our community. I am writing to
introduce myself as an applicant for the Human
Rights Commission.
For the past five years as the LRC
paraprofessional at Jefferson Middle School, I
have worked directly with students who face
barriers tied to housing, health, literacy, and
access to information. These experiences have
shown me how educational inequity extends far
beyond the classroom, shaping a person's future
opportunities and stability. On the Commission, I
hope to advocate for policies that acknowledge
and address these interconnected challenges.
My academic background also informs my
approach. My Master's in Archaeology, focused
Page 569 of 939
on ancient wealth inequality, provides me with a
critical framework for understanding how
disparities are built and sustained over centuries.
This "long -view" helps me identify modern
systemic issues not as isolated incidents but as
patterns that require intentional, policy -driven
solutions. My recent Master of Library and
Information Science degree has further
strengthened my commitment to intellectual
freedom and equitable resource distribution.
I am a firm believer in active service. Whether
archiving Jefferson's history for the Dubuque
Area History Expo or serving as Secretary on the
boards of the Dubuque Chorale and the
Dubuque Democratic Socialists, I work to
preserve, uplift, and expand access to
community voices.
I would be honored to bring this blend of
historical perspective, educational experience,
and equity -focused advocacy to the Human
Rights Commission. Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Erin Beatty
