Page 33 The listening sessions were promoted by the City’s Communications Office through its varied social media channels, and through an article published in the San Leandro Times, as well as through sign-up cards at in-person displays across the city. Displays were set up at ten (10) locations: Senior Community Center; Marina Community Center; Main Public Library; Manor Branch Library; Davis Street; Korean Community Center of the East Bay; Vietnamese Community Center of the East Bay; Family Resource Navigators; Fargo Senior Center; and Carlton Senior Living. Sign-up cards were available in multiple languages, including English, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, Vietnamese, and Tagalog. These sessions were safe and welcoming spaces for community members to discuss complex and personal issues related to aging in San Leandro, as well as to explore the intersectionality of becoming age-friendly for historically disenfranchised and/or excluded populations. Each 90-minute listening session provided an opportunity for participants to discuss in small groups the challenges facing older adults and caregivers in San Leandro, as well as possible solutions to those challenges. Facilitators documented the needs and solutions shared, and participants were asked to vote for their top choices of what should be included in the Age-Friendly Action Plan. This approach allowed the planning team to better understand overlapping and contrasting priorities between populations. In addition to the eight (8) listening sessions, Pear Street also sought community input through several ad hoc convenings. In response to not getting any male attendance at the African American listening session on March 9, the planning team met individually with two prominent Black community leaders, Bernard Ashcraft and David Moragne, to get a better understanding of the Black male perspective.
