The City of Roseville is dedicated to creating an inclusive community where the predictability of success is not based on race or ethnicity.
The actions of government at the federal, state, and local level have created racial disparities that continue to harm our community. Rectifying these disparities is critical to the development of a vibrant community and a high quality of life for all residents.
