Redwood City's Hispanic community accounts for about 401% of its total population.
Latino people represent a strong pillar in the economy and culture not only of our community, but are already an essential part of the development of the United States.
A few days ago, we fervently celebrated the beginning of one of the most important months for the Hispanic community in the United States, because in each of our sister countries we find the legacy of Latin pride that permeates the lifestyle of the rest of the population of which we are a part.
We regret that, after eight days of waiting for any kind of announcement, there has been no mention of the start of Hispanic Heritage Month by Redwood City Mayor Diane Howard.
Additionally, it is surprising that Redwood City council members have similarly failed to express their support for the Latino population they represent.
Although the Hispanic community actively participates in the daily life of Redwood City, it is of utmost importance that this sector of the population be made visible in the different spheres of society, including the police, because this is how the future of the Hispanic community can make its way and be able to confront, with the support of its representatives, the current problems of xenophobia, discrimination and hatred that affect Latino residents of the United States.
