Ordinance restricting use of city resources to assist I.C.E. <br />To: <council@redwoodcity.org>, Nina G <nina.goodale111@gmail.com> <br />Dear Members of the City Council, <br />As a resident deeply invested in Redwood City's future, I am advocating for the passage of the <br />proposed sanctuary ordinance that would limit city resource use in federal immigration <br />enforcement. <br />Our community thrives because of its diversity. When any of our neighbors live in fear of <br />accessing basic services or interacting with local government, it weakens the fabric of our <br />entire city. This ordinance would help ensure that children can attend school without worry, <br />families can report crimes safely, and workers can contribute to our local economy with <br />confidence. <br />The measure represents a practical step toward making our "Welcoming City" designation <br />meaningful in everyday life. It would align Redwood City with other Bay Area communities <br />that have successfully implemented similar protections. <br />Please include this crucial ordinance on the December 16 agenda and vote in favor of its <br />passage. <br />Very best, <br />Steven Goodale <br />-- <br />Very best, <br />Steven Goodale
