From:NINA GOODALE <br />To:publiccomment <br />Subject:Fwd: Thank you for writing to the City Council of the City of Redwood City <br />Date:Monday, November 25, 2024 5:02:28 PM <br />You don't often get email from nina.goodale111@gmail.com. Learn why this is important <br />AGENDA ITEM 7.A <br />Dear Members of the Redwood City Council, <br />As a first-generation US citizen and lifelong Bay Area resident, I am <br />writing to express my strong support for the proposed ordinance <br />restricting the use of valuable city resources to aid immigration <br />authorities. While I applaud Redwood City's current designation as a <br />Welcoming City, this additional measure would significantly <br />strengthen our commitment to being a truly inclusive community. <br />The proposed ordinance would build trust between local government <br />and all residents. This trust is essential for encouraging community <br />members to access vital city services without fear of consequences. <br />The policy would protect not only undocumented individuals but also <br />their families - including U.S. citizens and legal residents - who <br />depend on them as primary caregivers and breadwinners. <br />The impact of this ordinance would extend throughout our <br />community, touching the lives of our neighbors, coworkers, and <br />friends. By implementing these protections, Redwood City would <br />demonstrate its dedication to safeguarding all residents' well-being <br />and safety, regardless of immigration status. <br />I respectfully request that the council include this ordinance on the <br />agenda for the December 16 meeting and urge you to approve this <br />measure. Your support would reinforce our values as a Welcoming <br />City and strengthen the diverse fabric of our community. <br />Sincerely, <br />Nina Goodale
