Navarrete also took this opportunity to remind the public about the cultural events hosted at City Hall and reassured them that these racist sentiments do not reflect the views of their city officials. She extended an invitation to all members of the community to come together at City Hall and show that in Spokane, everyone belongs.

The council urges residents to speak out against discrimination and not stay silent as it only perpetuates the problem.
This incident serves as a reminder that there is still much work to be done in the fight against discrimination. However, with strong leaders like Council Member Navarrete and a supportive community, Spokane is taking steps towards creating a more inclusive and welcoming environment for all.
