A Letter To The Editor for Santa Clara City Council Election 2020

We need to make changes in the systemic racism of the Santa Clara City Council. Not one of the candidates that our mayor supports is a person of color.
September 20, 2020 by Harbir Bhatia in In the News News

We need to make changes in the systemic racism of the Santa Clara City Council. Not one of the candidates that our mayor supports is a person of color. She is also wasting our taxpayers money by appealing the 6 District decision of the California Civil Rights Act Court Action in 2018 which defeated the At Large Voting in Santa Clara City. Even after the City Council tried to pass a referendum Measure A of 2 Districts in 2018, it was defeated and this past February, Measure C of 3 Districts was also defeated by a 2 to 1 margin. The status quo members of the City Council, Kathy Watanabe, District 1 and Teresa O’Neill, District 4 as well as Mayor Lisa Gillmor have wasted millions of dollars to preserve this racist system and the status quo. Remember, there had not been a person of color on the city council since 1951 to 2018 when finally, the 6 districts were implemented. In a time when racism has become a major issue due to BLM this is unacceptable.
