Dear City Council,
I’m writing for item 7.a, the adoption of the DEI Strategic Plan. I’d like to commend the City Leadership and its partners
for the continued work on DEI. Your efforts are critical to create a safe, equitable, and truly happy community. While this
work is not easy, standing proud and making it clear to all of your values and how you will continue to stand against hate
and bigotry, sends a large message to all those who opposed that they are not welcomed here. I urge you to adopt the
plan and continue funding its efforts.
As the only local city doing this work, you set the example for many. With your support, we will continue to chant: ¡Si se
puede!
Thank you,
Karina
