WHAT'S NEW?
Welcoming Week
This week is National #WelcomingWeek.  
Redwood City 2020 has compiled a list of Welcoming Week activities in Redwood City- find a way to participate, including today's Fiestas Patrias! Yesterday, in partnership with Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), we held a Bystander Intervention Training. Participants learned new skills for safe intervention in the event of witnessing a hate crime or bias incident. This was an illuminating program that offered a great opportunity to learn for Welcoming Week.
