Redwood City — Today, ahead of Sunday’s Super Bowl LX being held in Santa Clara, all five San Mateo County Supervisors joined dozens of Bay Area county supervisors in reaffirming their support for immigrant communities.
Board President Noelia Corzo and Supervisors Ray Mueller, Lisa Gauthier, Jackie Speier and David Canepa added their signatures to the following joint statement:
“Across the Bay Area, we stand united in our commitment to the dignity, safety, and belonging of every community member, regardless of immigration status. As we prepare for the Super Bowl this weekend, our message is simple: unity over division, power over panic, and care for one another.
To our immigrant community members: you belong here. This region is our collective home, and our immigrant communities are at the heart of what makes the Bay Area one of the most diverse, innovative, and vibrant places in the world.
We recognize that many across the Bay Area are experiencing fear and anxiety at this time. As local jurisdictions, we have clear policies in place to protect the safety of all residents, including our immigrant communities. Local law enforcement remains focused on keeping everyone safe and building trust in our communities.
In the Bay Area, our strength lies in each other. When we stay informed and support one another, we make our region safe and strong. Rapid Response Networks, community-based organizations, and county resources continue to be available to support residents across the Bay Area. As a connected, resilient region, we are unwavering in our commitment to our immigrant communities. Together, let's look out for our families and neighbors, follow verified information, and continue to draw pride and power from our shared connection to this extraordinary place we call home.”
To our community: Don't spread fear and misinformation. Use the Rapid Response Network in your area to share and receive accurate and verified information.
