It is becoming increasingly clear that our working community will continue to be marginalized
and targeted for simply being. The people that stand outside home depots around the country
are only hoping to get some work so they can feel as part of the greater community of the
cities around the county they also belong to. Criminalizing their intent to work does not have a
positive impact on their well being or that of the whole community. It is proven that
collaborating with each other goes much farther than alienating each other. Lets find a solution
to this matter and focus on the greater picture. Lets focus on making the county of San
Bernardino what it has the potential of becoming - one of the greatest and most
successful counties in the whole US. I implore to the humanity in each one of you to do the
right thing for all of us.
