“Why we are here today is that constituents have called my office expressing their concerns about the recent events with our nation facing the challenges of hate, intolerance and the efforts to divide people playing on fears and prejudice,” said Ward 5 Councilmember Richard Fimbres. “We are here to affirm our community, as one who comes together and works for the common good.
“But I have always said that when our community has a challenge at hand, we do not scapegoat or point fingers, we roll up our sleeves and work to meet the challenge we are facing. One City, One County, One Community reaffirms that our community can come together, roll up our sleeves and work to meet any challenge.”
