PROCLAIMING BLACK LIVES MATTER
WHEREAS, the inhumane murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis on May 25, 2020 by officers of that
city’s Police Department breaks our hearts and breaks the promise of this country, which is that all
people are created equal. Our nation is understandably outraged, scared, and worried; and
WHEREAS, as your city government, we have an obligation to protect and serve everyone, no matter
who they are or where they come from. At this moment of reckoning, we are called upon to listen and
to speak, to kneel and to stand, to reflect and to improve; and
WHEREAS, we deeply appreciate the dedicated women and men of our police force who work, day
and night, to keep our community safe. At the same time, the tremendous power of our police officers
must always be balanced with the tremendous responsibility they have. We will recommit to a shared
understanding of how we treat the members of our community -- who gets the benefit of the doubt and
who gets pulled over, who gets let off with a warning and who is injured or killed. Our community is not
immune to nor exempt from this soul-searching work; and
WHEREAS, the City of Palo Alto commits to the affirmation that Black lives matter because so many
black and brown lives have for so long been discounted, undervalued, abused, and taken from us. We
cannot and will not accept this here in our city, and here in our country.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Council of the City Palo Alto does hereby express its
support and proclamation that Black lives matter, and commits our local government to do everything
within our powers to review our police and public safety practices with the community and then
implement measures that reflect no tolerance for police violence, prejudice, discrimination, and harm.
