We're happy to be joined this evening by Mary Kay Marina Marinovich on behalf of the Friends of Immigrant House to accept this proclamation. And I'll ask her to join me at the lectern.

Ellen Kamei 8:23

All right, so we're excited to proclaim June is Immigrant Heritage Month, and we're excited that the Friends of Immigrant House is going to be accepting this. And the proclamation reads, whereas generations of immigrants from every corner of the globe have built our country's economy and created the unique character of our nation. And whereas immigrants have been instrumental in building businesses, fostering innovation, and creating jobs. And whereas immigrants have provided California and the United States with unique social and cultural influence, fundamentally enriching the extraordinary character of our state and nation. And whereas immigrants have been tireless leaders, not only in securing their own rights and access to equal opportunity, but also in having campaigned to create a fairer and more just society for all Americans.

Ellen Kamei 9:14

And whereas despite these countless contributions, the role of immigrants in building and enriching our nation has frequently been overlooked and undervalued throughout our history and continuing to the present day. Now, therefore, I, Ellen Kamei, Mayor of the City of Mountain View, along with my colleagues on the City Council, to hereby designate June 2025 as Immigrant Heritage Month in the City of Mountain View.
