Excerpts from A RESOLUTION OF THE CUPERTINO CITY COUNCIL AFFIRMING THE CITY'S COMMITMENT TO STAND IN SOLIDARITY WITH THE BLACK COMMUNITY (June 5, 2020)
Cupertino is blessed to be a multiracial community, and we decided long ago that mutual understanding and respect develops a much healthier, safer, and caring community; and
The City of Cupertino will promote safety, a sense of security, and equal protection of constitutional and human rights, leading by example through equitable treatment of all by City officials and departments; and
The City of Cupertino encourages the community to stand together through peaceful exchange and discourse to enact change and move forward towards a future with more equity and inclusion in Cupertino, California, and our country.
