Subject: Racial harassment in Los Gatos
Dear Ms Neils, Ms. De Long,
I have experienced racial harassment that happened in Los Gatos, not only once but twice that
specifically attacked my ethnic heritage (Asian) on two different occasions. The incidents happened
separately in late 2020 and early 2021. On both incidents, I did not report nor did I file a grievance to the
Town of Los Gatos because I got the impression that Los Gatos is aware such hatred happens, but never
really cares to rectify the situation!
Now that the national disgrace of racism is in the rise and is getting worldwide attention, it looks Los
Gatos is now participating in anti-racism efforts which I applaud!
I understand this item will be discussed in tomorrow's Town Council Meeting (agenda no. 11)

April%206,%202021%207.00%20PM-1.pdf
I would like the opportunity to speak and to be heard of my grievance being racially harassed in Los
Gatos, TWICE!!. Please be advised that I will attend the meeting be it via zoom or by dialing in
tomorrow evening.
Thank you!
Maria Wong
