Here is a sample letter we are asking people to submit in support of the legislation that will remove all mascots in public schools. We also note the legislation will not effect any Native schools that have these types of mascots; i.e., the Hoopa Warriors. Also, each letter must have a letterhead to indicate the organization or tribe. Thanks again. Jackie Goldberg, Assemblymember, 45th District Attn: Ilona Turner State Capitol Room 5155 Sacramento, CA 95814 RE: California Racial Mascots, AB2115---SUPPORT Dear Assemblymember Goldberg: We writ to express support for the California Racial Mascots Act, which will eliminate racially offensive, insensitive or derogatory mascots or nicknames in California public schools. We want to add ours to the growing list of organizations in California and around the country who believe that the continued use of Native American images and nicknames in school sports is a barrier to equality and understanding. We believe that the use of such images on public school campuses creates unhealthy learning environments, perpetuates racial stereotypes and subjects Native American students to derision and discrimination. We further believe that the elimination of these images can help create school communities in which the traditions and identities of all cultures are valued highly. By authoring the California Racial Mascots Act, you are offering our State Legislature an opportunity to promote positive intercultural relationships in publicly funded schools. We believe that all citizens--Native American and non-Native, in California and across the country--stand to benefit from its passage.
