Learn why this is important To the East Wenatchee City Council, I am writing to express my sadness and concern about the removal of the Pride banners. It would be wonderful if we lived in a world where we didn’t need banners to remind others that love, acceptance, and equality matter—but unfortunately, we still do. Those banners were a visible sign to our children and adults alike that our city cares about all of its people. My wife and I have lived in East Wenatchee for 20 years. We love this community and want to continue living in a place that treats everyone equally—as human beings, with kindness and respect. Kids especially need to see positive influences from all kinds of people. No one is trying to change children; we are simply trying to support them, encourage them, and show EXHIBIT B them love. This is a city issue, not a religious one. The City Council is not responsible for people’s moral or religious beliefs—it is responsible for ensuring that all citizens are treated fairly and equally under the law. As a Christian, I find it deeply troubling when religion is used to justify hate or exclusion. Faith should be about compassion, understanding, and love—values I believe our city can and should stand for. I hope the Council will consider what kind of message we want to send as a community. I would love to see East Wenatchee be a place that truly leads with love for everyone. Thank you for your time and for listening. Sincerely, Doreen Armstrong EXHIBIT B From:Shayne L.

Learn why this is important at https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification ] To the East Wenatchee City Council, I’m writing as a longtime resident who’s proud to call East Wenatchee home—but deeply disappointed by the decision to take down the Pride banners. These banners weren’t just decorations; they were a public affirmation that our city sees and values every person, regardless of who they are or whom they love. My wife and I have lived here for two decades. We’ve raised our family here, built friendships, and invested in this community. We want East Wenatchee to be a place where everyone feels safe, welcomed, and respected. That includes LGBTQ+ individuals and families who deserve to know they belong. Children especially benefit from seeing symbols of inclusion. These banners didn’t promote an agenda—they promoted dignity. They reminded all of us that kindness, empathy, and equality are worth celebrating. This isn’t about religion. It’s about civic responsibility. The role of the City Council is to represent and protect all residents, not to enforce personal beliefs. As someone who practices Christianity, I believe faith calls us to love our neighbors—not to marginalize them. Using religion to justify exclusion runs counter to the very heart of compassion. I urge you to reflect on what kind of city we want to be. Removing those banners sends a message— one I hope we’ll reconsider. Let’s choose to be a community that leads with love, not fear.

Learn why this is important Hello City Council, I am writing on behalf of your meeting tonight about the Pride Banners. I have attached the letter and I am pasting it here. Dr. Lori Andre-Van Lith, EdD, LMHC, CMPC Licensed Mental Health Counselor | Sport & Performance Psychology Consultant East Wenatchee, WA 10/21/2025 To the Members of the East Wenatchee City Council, As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who has lived and worked in this community for many years, I am writing to express my deep concern and disappointment regarding the proposal to remove the right for the LGBTQ+ community to display Pride banners during the month of June. The display of Pride banners is not merely symbolic; it represents safety, belonging, and hope for many members of our community who have historically experienced discrimination, marginalization, and violence because of who they are. For LGBTQ+ individuals, especially youth, seeing visible signs of acceptance and inclusion can literally be life-saving. National research and clinical experience consistently show that LGBTQ+ individuals face higher rates of depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation, often due to stigma and lack of community support. When inclusive symbols like Pride banners are displayed, they send a powerful message that East Wenatchee is a community that values every one of its residents. These banners say: You are seen, you are safe, and you belong here. Removing that visibility would not only harm the mental and emotional well- being of LGBTQ+ individuals, but it would also send a message of exclusion and intolerance that does not reflect the compassion and strength I know exists EXHIBIT B in our city. Representation matters. Visibility matters. Pride matters. As a mental health professional, I have witnessed the difference that acceptance and community support make in the lives of LGBTQ+ youth and adults. Conversely, I have also seen the devastating effects of rejection, silence, and erasure. I urge the council to consider the psychological and social consequences of this proposal and to choose inclusivity over exclusion. Allowing Pride banners to be displayed is an act of leadership, compassion, and courage. It costs the city minimal (and I am sure prices can be raised to ensure no cost to the town), but it means everything to those who have fought to exist as themselves. I respectfully ask that the City Council uphold the right to display Pride banners and continue to make East Wenatchee a community where every person feels safe, valued, and supported. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Kind regards, Andie Baker, PhD EXHIBIT B From:Sandi Bammer To:cityclerk Subject:Keep the Pride Banners in East Wenatchee Date:Tuesday, October 21, 2025 10:37:28 AM You don't often get email from sandibammer@gmail.com. Learn why this is important Sandra Bammer 228 Ramona Ave. Wenatchee, WA 98801 sandibammer@gmail.com 10/20/2025 To the Members of the East Wenatchee City Council: I am writing as a 20 year resident of the Wenatchee Valley to express my deep concern and opposition to the proposed policy limiting the display of banners and flags—particularly its implications for removing the Pride flag and the word “diversity” from the city’s vision statement. The city’s own draft banner policy states: “It is the policy of the City of East Wenatchee that theme banners are not a forum for free expression by the public. Rather, the theme may only be displayed as an expression of the City’s own sentiments.” If the City adopts this language and then selectively chooses which “sentiments” are permitted, it is engaging in viewpoint discrimination, which is explicitly prohibited by the First Amendment. The courts have consistently held that when a government entity opens a space to expression—whether through banners, flags, or public displays—it must apply its policies neutrally and without discrimination based on the message or identity represented. Furthermore, under RCW 49.60.030, the Washington Law Against Discrimination guarantees every person the right to be free from discrimination in the enjoyment of public accommodations and governmental services. A policy that permits some privately funded or identity-based banners (such as religious, veteran, or holiday displays) but excludes Pride or diversity-themed banners would violate the principle of neutrality required by state law and would expose the City to legal risk. The only way to maintain a constitutionally sound and non-discriminatory policy is to apply the same standard to all privately sponsored banners—either allowing none or allowing all under clear, content-neutral criteria. To do otherwise is to invite both moral and legal consequences, both of which we can't afford. Flying the Pride flag is not an act of political expression—it is a declaration that East Wenatchee values all residents equally and recognizes the contributions of its LGBTQ+ community members. Removing it signals exclusion and regression, contrary to the principles of equality, liberty, and civic pride that define our valley. EXHIBIT B Our valley has come a long way and is finally starting to feel like a welcoming and inclusive community. The Pride flag is not a symbol of division—it is a symbol of belonging, safety, and visibility for LGBTQ+ residents, families, and youth. I am always filled with joy and happiness each June when I see them go up and when I was a business owner I was a proud sponsor. Removing them sends a message that inclusion is conditional and that some of our neighbors are less valued or less welcome. Public spaces are reflections of our shared values. When we fly the Pride flag, we are affirming that everyone in our valley deserves to live without fear or shame for who they are or whom they love. This is not about promoting a political agenda—it is about recognizing and celebrating human dignity, equality, and the diversity that strengthens our community and the members in it who work, live, own businesses, and contribute to the economy and vibrancy of this valley. I urge you to reject any policy that would suppress expressions of diversity and inclusion, and to ensure that East Wenatchee continues to uphold the constitutional and ethical standards that protect all citizens. Respectfully, Sandi Bammer EXHIBIT B From:David Barshes To:cityclerk Subject:Public comment - Oct 21 meeting Date:Tuesday, October 21, 2025 1:18:27 PM You don't often get email from david_barshes@hotmail.com.

Learn why this is important Dear Council Members, Although my home sits just one block outside the city limits, my address has read East Wenatchee for over 20 years. I have four children — two of whom have graduated from Eastmont, and two who are still attending. My daughter wrestles for Eastmont and plays in the jazz band. My son serves as the elected choir treasurer and was honored as Homecoming King this fall. I’m also a member of the newly formed Eastmont Music Booster Club. All of this is to say: we are deeply invested members of the East Wenatchee community. I attended the council workshop in September. I heard Councilmember Johnson express uncertainty about whether the four subject areas (Sister City, Equity/Diversity, Federal Holidays, and City-Sponsored Events) were exempt from the preapproval process. She also said she did not recall that Resolution 2022-49 included the statement: "...street banners may only be displayed as an expression of the City's own sentiments." After the meeting, I reviewed the resolution on the city's website. The record clearly shows that during the public comment period, a citizen requested that the LGBTQIA+ flag be included in the pre-approved list. The final resolution does, in fact, include the language about banners expressing the city’s sentiments. Councilmember Johnson not only seconded the motion to exempt those four subject matters from pre approval; she also seconded the motion to adopt the resolution itself, which passed unanimously (7–0). It’s entirely understandable that a detail may have been forgotten. We all need reminders sometimes, and that’s what I hope this serves as. I trust that Councilmember Johnson, and the full council, will stand by that original vote and uphold the resolution as it stands. Reversing this policy now, after it has been in place and embraced since 2022, would signal instability and send a message that the values affirmed by the council can be undone without cause, eroding the trust built between the community and its elected officials. Every single person in this city knows someone for whom representation matters. Someone for whom these flags send a message of inclusion. Our colleagues, our co-workers, our teachers, our loved ones, and our family members. These identities are part of the fabric of EXHIBIT B our city. The Pride flag is not an external symbol imposed on the city; it is an expression of its own people. As a reminder, the mission of the City of East Wenatchee is: "To maintain the trust of and give quality service to all who live in, work in and visit the City of East Wenatchee." Please honor that mission by continuing to stand with all who call this city home.

You don't often get email from minister@sunnyslopechurch.org. Learn why this is important Dear East Wenatchee City Council Member, I am the pastor of the Sunnyslope Church: United Church of Christ, Church of the Brethren. Many of my members are residents of East Wenatchee. I have a Masters of Divinity, am ordained in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America and serve on the steering committee for the Interfaith Justice Coalition in Wenatchee. I am writing to you to THANK YOU for the diversity and inclusion banners!! THANK YOU! These flags represent everyone in our community, including people of different races, different genders and different orientations. These banners truly make so many of us feel safe and like we belong in East Wenatchee. As public political officials, I do not think you should be favoring any particular religious tradition- that’s why we have separation of church and state. However, since I am aware that some of my Christian colleagues may bring their religious perspective into this, I will offer my own. Jesus Christ was inclusive. He spoke with and healed and loved people who were generally despised or seen as unclean. He defended people who were being outcast and bullied. He did not side with those causing harm- he did not give them what they wanted. He insisted on loving the neighbor. May you do the same. By raising the diversity and inclusion banners each year you send a strong message that kindness wins, that bigotry takes a back seat, and that all people are welcome in East Wenatchee. Your courage to hang these banners will be judged by future generations- think about how you want to be remembered and keep doing the loving thing. Diversity and Inclusion is a blessing!

Learn why this is important Dear Councilmembers, My name is Kayla Ellingford. My wife and I own a home in East Wenatchee and have lived in this valley for six years. We’re raising our one-year-old daughter here. I’m writing to urge you to vote against banning Pride banners and to retain the word “diversity” in East Wenatchee’s vision statement. As a queer woman raising a family in a rural area, I live every day with a quiet question: Am I safe here? When the rainbow banners go up each June, that question softens. I feel that our family is seen — that we belong here. Those banners tell my daughter, “Your family is part of this community.” Removing them tells us the opposite. It sends a message of exclusion that causes real harm. LGBTQ+ people are five times more likely to experience violent victimization than non-LGBTQ people. In 2024, the FBI reported that 17% of all hate crimes targeted people based on sexual orientation or gender identity. LGBTQ+ youth who feel supported by their communities are 40% less likely to attempt suicide. These are not political symbols — they are public affirmations of safety and belonging. I understand that national political currents have placed pressure on institutions to roll back diversity and inclusion. But please know that Washington State law supersedes those pressures. Under RCW 49.60, sexual orientation and gender identity are protected classes. If the City of East Wenatchee removes Pride banners while allowing others, that is a discriminatory act against a protected group and exposes the city to legal and financial liability. If this Council votes to target Pride banners, I — and many others — will take action. We will file a complaint with the Washington State Human Rights Commission, and we will seek counsel from civil-rights organizations such as ACLU of Washington and Lambda Legal. We will also organize politically and hold accountable those who choose exclusion over inclusion. You represent all residents of East Wenatchee — including families like mine. Please do the right thing.

Learn why this is important Our current policy states that 'street banners are not a forum for free expression by the public. Rather street banners may only be displayed as an expression of the City's own sentiments." The policy alo gives the mayor the power to approve theme banners for "sister city, equity/diversity, federal holidays, city sponsored events," without council approval. Allowing gay Pride banners in June for the past several years violates this policy because the city has received voluminous complaints about the Pride banners and therefore they are not an expression of the city sentiment but of one group of people. Placing "equity/diversity" as a category exempt from council approval gives that category exclusive recognition. I believe that to be unfair and not equitable. I believe our city would be better served by allowing banners that recognize people groups which bring benefit to our community and nation. Honoring mothers and fathers on Mother's and Father's day. Recognizing our veterans and policemen who have sacrificed to serve our city and nation I belive would better represent the sentiment of East Wenatchee. Please remove the "equity/diversity" as a special category and allow the council, not the mayor to approve banners. Thank you, Wanda Hackett EXHIBIT B From:WANDA Z HACKETT To:cityclerk Date:Tuesday, October 21, 2025 2:04:30 PM You don't often get email from wandazhackett@gmail.com. Learn why this is important Applications involving theme banners exhibiting one or more of the following subject matters are exempt from final Council approval. However, the list of subject matters will be adjusted by the City Council through amendments to this policy made from time to time. Sister city Equity/Diversity Federal Holidays City Sponsored Events To Johnson’s point, it appears Pride banners violate the policy in that they are free expression by the public and are not an expression of the city sentiment, at least not a majority of city sentiment. Further, it makes no sense and is not fair that one group or category should receive exclusive special treatment and recognition. If equity and diversity is a special category, why not a myriad of other groups or causes? Why not Straight Pride? Why not Asian American Pride? The list has the potential of never having an end. Why do we have to divide ourselves into special groups on city streetlamp banners? To promote a sense of community, it is common sense to keep banners non-controversial by honoring major holidays and community events and honoring those whose service has benefited our nation and city. With little discussion, the council agreed that any motions for changes to the banner policy be taken up at the October 21council meeting where public comment will be allowed. Please consider omitting the Equity/Diversity category since it seems not to really be Equity at all.

Learn why this is important These Pride Month banners have been a beautiful addition to our valley for years. I have always called the Wenatchee Mayor to thank him for the support as I live on the Wenatchee side. I have loved the seamless unity in my valley as both sides said proudly they would defend inclusion and diversity. Did I expect that the bad players we have leading in many aspects of our country would change the climate around my LGBTQIA friends? Sure. But I never thought my community would run with the fear and let hate win and now I'm writing this letter to state that I'm saddened and a little angry that we are even questioning whether a flag that reflects so much of our community belongs. I think representation matters and statistics show it does too. Queer kids commit suicide less when they are not told they shouldn't exist. LGBTQ+ youth are more than four times more likely to attempt suicide than their peers. The absence of supportive environments at home, school, and in the community contributes to feelings of isolation and increased risk.

The message your council is trying to send is not a good look. I think the new look is of blatant discrimination and is what the East Wenatchee City Council is reflecting at this point. Discrimination is subject to lawsuits that I'm sure the City of East Wenatchee doesn't want. I hope you think long and hard about this decision. If the hate filled bigots are yelling at your city workers while they hang the flags then this should be a reminder of what my friends and family deal with walking in our streets and I have seen it. I was told as I was walking in to see a drag show that I should kill myself. Taking these flags down won't make my LGBTQIA friends and family safer. You will have just let the bigots win and reflected that you don't care about the love and safety that comes from being an ally. I hope you choose to lead with compassion, that we were all taught that as children. How did some of you veer so far off the road of loving your neighbor as yourself?

Learn why this is important Dear Members of the East Wenatchee City Council, Please accept this email as a public comment for the upcoming 10/21/2025 City Council meeting, regarding the discussion on the display of Pride banners during Pride Month. I ask that it be entered into the public record. As a resident of our beautiful valley and someone who cares deeply about the strength and unity of this community, I am writing to express my firm support for maintaining the Pride banners displayed in East Wenatchee. These banners are not merely decorative—they are a reflection of our shared values of inclusion, respect, and belonging for every individual who lives, works, and visits here. East Wenatchee’s mission is to maintain trust and provide efficient, quality service to all members of our community. Its vision is to foster a diverse, well-planned, and thriving city with a strong sense of community and equal opportunity for all. The banners embody that vision. They communicate, in a simple but powerful way, that East Wenatchee is a place where every person—regardless of background, identity, or orientation—is valued and welcome. Removing these banners would send a message contrary to those ideals. It would imply that visibility and acceptance are privileges reserved for some, rather than rights shared by all. At a time when division and fear too often overshadow understanding, East Wenatchee has the opportunity to stand as an example of compassion, courage, and community. These banners do not diminish anyone’s sense of belonging; they expand it. They affirm that this city believes in inclusion, in dignity, and in the idea that everyone deserves to feel safe and seen. True community is not built by erasing difference, but by embracing it. Keeping the Pride banners is not about politics; it is about humanity. It is about affirming that this city’s values are not situational—they endure, even when tested. For many—especially our youth— such symbols of acceptance can mean the difference between isolation and hope. I urge the council to continue supporting the Pride banners, not as a political statement, but as a reflection of the city’s own guiding principles. Upholding them demonstrates that East Wenatchee is a community grounded in respect, empathy, and a genuine commitment to all who call this valley home. Thank you for your time, your service, and your dedication to making East Wenatchee a place where everyone knows they are valued and welcome here.

Learn why this is important To the East Wenatchee City Council, I’m writing in support of the equity Pride banners that have flown in our city over the past few years. As a nearly eight-year resident of East Wenatchee, I was delighted to see them when they were first placed, and felt proud of our community’s ability to visibly celebrate a group that has long faced discrimination and barriers to quality of life. I was born, raised, and college-educated in the Gulf Coast region of the American South. During my teen years, when I first became aware of the LGBTQ+ community, it was with the understanding that many had to live part of their lives invisibly and apart from the broader community. In high school, not even the worst bullies would out a classmate to an adult, because we all knew that real harm could come to them, or worse. As I grew older, I saw how simply being out could lead to devastating consequences: loss of family and social standing, employment, housing, and access to healthcare. I watched peers and family members hide parts of themselves until they could leave our community in search of a place where they could live openly and safely. According to The Trevor Project’s 2024 U.S. National Survey on the Mental Health of LGBTQ+ Young People, 37% of LGBTQ+ youth surveyed in Washington state seriously considered suicide in the past year, including 42% of transgender and nonbinary youth. 10% attempted suicide, including 12% of transgender and nonbinary youth. I’ve attached the full report for your review. In light of these realities, I find it deeply concerning that the council is considering the removal of these banners, a move that feels like exclusion at a time when our community needs unity and compassion more than ever. Over the past year, many residents have faced challenges such as food insecurity, with local food banks seeing increasing need for their services. These hardships remind us that quality of life is fragile, and that small acts of recognition and solidarity can make a meaningful difference. Just as a few kind words can offer hope during a difficult day, I believe these banners offer recognition and celebration to members of our community who, across generations, have had to embody courage and resilience in ways many of us have never had to. When we allow our city to celebrate every part of itself with dignity, we show the world the very best of who we are, and who we aspire to be.

Learn why this is important Dear Mayor Crawford and City Council members, I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the proposed removal of banners— specifically LGBTQ+ flags from public display in our city. As a resident committed to fostering a welcoming and inclusive community, I believe this decision would have far- reaching negative consequences for our city’s culture, reputation, and residents. Public banners, including those representing LGBTQ+ pride, are more than symbols. They are affirmations of belonging, dignity, and visibility for individuals who have historically faced marginalization. Removing these banners sends a message that some members of our community are less welcome or less worthy of recognition. This undermines the values of equity and inclusion that many of us strive to uphold. Cities thrive when they embrace diversity. Displaying LGBTQ+ flags during Pride Month or other key moments reflects our commitment to celebrating all residents. It signals to visitors, businesses, and future generations that we are a city that values authenticity, safety, and mutual respect. Removing these banners risks alienating not only LGBTQ+ individuals but also allies, families, and organizations who see inclusion as a cornerstone of civic life. As a gay person, seeing LGBTQ+ flags in public spaces gives me a sense of safety and belonging. These symbols represent acceptance, dignity, and the reassurance that I am not alone. I wonder if you've ever walked into a space unsure if you’d be welcome or safe? For many of us, that uncertainty is a daily reality. When I see the flag, I feel a moment of relief. It signals that I can be myself without fear. I’m sure most of you haven’t had to walk down a street or enter a restaurant wondering if your identity might put you at risk. That’s why these symbols matter. One of the reasons I chose to move to East Wenatchee was because of its visible support and acceptance of me and my family. It made us feel seen and valued. I urge you to consider this issue from my perspective—and from the perspective of others who rely on these symbols as a sign of hope and inclusion. Removing them would send a message that some of us don’t belong. I hope we can choose a path that reflects compassion, unity, and pride in the diversity that makes our city stronger. I urge city leaders to reconsider this proposal and engage in dialogue with community members, especially those directly impacted. Let us work together to ensure our public spaces reflect the full spectrum of our community’s identity and values.

I ask that it be entered into the public record. I’m writing to express my strong support for the continued display of Pride flags on city light posts during Pride Month. These flags are not just colorful decorations, they are a visible affirmation that our city stands for inclusion, dignity, and equal rights for all residents. While I understand that there may be differing opinions among residents, I urge you not to let a vocal minority dictate whether we continue recognizing Pride Month publicly. Visibility matters. For many LGBTQ+ individuals, especially youth, seeing the Pride flag flown by their city sends a powerful message: you are seen, you are valued, and you belong here. Cities across the country fly these flags not to be divisive, but to affirm basic human dignity and reflect the diversity of their communities. Discontinuing this practice in response to negative feedback risks sending the opposite message, that inclusion is negotiable or up for debate. Please continue to show leadership and support for all members of our community by keeping the Pride flags up during June. It’s a small gesture with a big impact. Thank you for your consideration.

Learn why this is important Dear Ms. Leon, I moved to East Wenatchee in January 2017 to serve as the Executive Director of the NCW Economic Development District. When I arrived, some African American friends who had grown up in the Valley in the 70s and 80s warned me that East Wenatchee would NOT be welcoming; that a Black single mother, even one hired to lead an economic development organization, would not be viewed well and might even experience harassment and discrimination. But I moved to East Wenatchee anyway because that's where I could find housing. In some ways, my friends - who to this day, continue to boycott East Wenatchee - were correct. Our neighbors were not particularly "neighborly", especially when the renaming of the Robert E Lee Elementary School flared up. So I decided it would be in the best interest of my young child for us to move to Leavenworth. In the nearly nine years since we've lived in the Valley, I have continued to frequent East Wenatchee, and have noticed the growing diversity of people who seem to live, work, play and shop there. Over the years, East Wenatchee has come to feel less like a Sundown Town, and more like a warmer, Live and Let Live community. I suspect the new housing developments and apartments, attracting folks from all over the state and country, have been part of this vibe shift. The flying of the Diversity Flags was a further signal that the City that had once celebrated and commemorated a Confederate soldier was finally ready to acknowledge, value and celebrate the diversity of all those who choose to call East Wenatchee Home, regardless of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, or ability. The Diversity Flag, like East Wenatchee, has evolved over time. Though it began as a hopeful totem during the Gay Liberation Movement. It has evolved to recognize and celebrate the reality that there are people of all walks of life, creeds, and backgrounds who are LGBTQIA+. It takes the trauma and memories of exclusion, persecution, neglect and erasure and transforms them into a banner celebrating the diversity of our human family. This reminder to celebrate diversity is not unique to the NCW Equity Alliance (of which I am a founding board member), nor to the dozens of businesses who had sponsored the flags previously. Flying the Diversity Flag in June is an international tradition. I hope that the Council will reject the fear-mongering, prejudice, slander and harassment by those who clearly pine for the days when only some people were welcomed and allowed to safely live as their true selves within City limits. I hope East Wenatchee doesn't regress. I also have to wonder about the wisdom of creating a precedent for viewpoint discrimination but perhaps that's an issue better discussed between your city attorney and a constitutional lawyer. Regardless, population data shows that East Wenatchee and Douglas County continue to grow EXHIBIT B more diverse, this includes diversity of sexual orientation and gender expression. Does East Wenatchee want to be the kind of City that slams the door in the face of anyone who is not White and heteronormative? Still? I pray that is not the case, for the sake of all who live, work, play, and shop in East Wenatchee, regardless of their backgrounds.

Learn why this is important Dear Members of the East Wenatchee City Council, As a resident of Chelan County and a proud member of the Wenatchee Valley community, I am writing to express my strong support for maintaining the Pride banners in East Wenatchee. Though our valley is divided by a river, the communities of Wenatchee and East Wenatchee are deeply connected — we are one valley, one community. I want to speak to what it means to belong in that community. The City of East Wenatchee’s mission is to maintain trust and provide efficient, quality service to all who live, work, and play here. Its vision is of a diverse, well-planned, safe, and thriving city — one with a strong sense of community that provides equal opportunity for all. For many of us, the rainbow banners reflect exactly that vision. They’re more than decorations; they are a visible reminder that we belong here. They show that this city values every neighbor, every family, and every young person finding their place. Removing the banners would send a very different message; that some of us are welcome only if we stay quiet or invisible. That is not what East Wenatchee stands for. Keeping the banners doesn’t say others don’t belong; it communicates that everyone does. It demonstrates that East Wenatchee lives its values of inclusion, safety, and belonging for all who call this valley home. When a city chooses visibility over silence, it builds trust. It strengthens community. And it tells a young person walking downtown that they are seen, valued, and part of something bigger than fear or hate. I urge you to continue supporting the Pride banners; not as a political statement, but as a reflection of East Wenatchee’s own mission and vision. Because belonging should never be up for debate.

Learn why this isimportant Please accept this email as a public comment for the upcoming 10/21/2025 City Council meeting, regarding the discussion on the display of Pride flags/banners during the Pride Month. I ask that it be entered into the public record. Dear East Wenatchee City Council Members, I’m writing in strong support of continuing the Pride banners displayed in East Wenatchee during Pride Month. These banners are not merely decorative—they are a practical, public- health tool that strengthens safety, belonging, and economic vitality while modeling our city’s commitment to dignity for all residents. Why Pride banners matter—especially for suicide prevention Belonging protects life. One of the strongest protective factors against suicide is a felt sense of belonging and community connection. Public inclusion cues—like Pride banners—tell LGBTQ+ youth and adults, “You have a place here,” which can reduce isolation and despair and make it more likely people will reach out early for help. Reduces stigma, increases help-seeking. When the city signals acceptance, individuals are more likely to talk to a counselor, call a hotline, or confide in family. As a licensed psychologist, I see how small, consistent signals from civic leaders lower barriers to care and encourage earlier, lifesaving intervention. Supports families and allies. Clear city support makes it easier for parents, grandparents, teachers, and faith leaders to stand alongside loved ones, a known protective factor against self-harm. Safety without taking sides. Inclusion is not endorsement of any one viewpoint—it is a public safety posture that says everyone’s life has value. Addressing controversy with respect and fairness In a diverse community, disagreement is expected. The solution to disagreement is not to erase representation but to model respectful pluralism using content-neutral program rules that apply equally to all city banners (e.g., application windows, installation dates, maintenance standards, and safety requirements). Keeping the Pride banners up while applying the same standards to all groups demonstrates fairness, steadiness, and good governance. EXHIBIT B Additional community benefits Public health readiness: Visibility during Pride creates timely opportunities for clinics, schools, and nonprofits to share resources and trainings. Local business and tourism: Inclusive cities attract visitors and events; Pride month reliably drives foot traffic to downtown merchants, restaurants, and hotels. Civic reputation: The banners align with East Wenatchee’s practice of recognizing many parts of our community—veterans, cultural heritage, seasonal celebrations—without diminishing anyone. Thank you for your service and for considering this request. Please continue East Wenatchee’s Pride banner program each June and communicate—clearly and consistently—that our city is a safe place for everyone to live, work, learn, and visit.

My name is Sasha Sleiman. I’m a proud resident of the East Wenatchee Urban Growth Area— just a few feet outside city limits. I am a former east wenatchee councilmember who took the same oath of office that each of you did, to protect and defend the constitution of these United States. Except I meant it. I am someone who takes seriously both the blessings and responsibilities of American liberty. Tonight, I rise in support of Resolution 2023-46, exactly as it was adopted in 2023, with none of the amendments proposed before you tonight. Why? Because the original resolution reflects some of the most foundational, conservative, and distinctly American principles—chief among them: free speech, equal opportunity, and the belief that all are created equal, as declared in our nation's birth certificate—the Declaration of Independence. Our Founders didn’t fight a revolution for comfort. They fought for principle. As George Washington said, "The bosom of America is open to receive not only the opulent and respectable Stranger, but the oppressed and persecuted of all nations and religions." That’s a call to inclusion, not exclusion. This resolution affirms that East Wenatchee still believes in that ideal—that we judge people not by label, but by character and merit. Thomas Jefferson warned that "all tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent." Let me be clear: this resolution was never about silencing anyone —it was about ensuring every citizen has a seat at the table, and a voice in the public square. That’s not “wokeness.” That’s constitutionalism. Now—let’s talk plainly. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are not Marxist ideas. When properly understood, they’re American values. Diversity means freedom of thought and varied experience. Equity means fairness under law. Inclusion means no taxpayer is left out of the conversation. Some of us up here helped craft this banner policy. We didn’t write it to promote a particular ideology—we wrote it to ensure equal access and transparency. Every application is evaluated through a fair process. That is how you preserve neutrality. That is how government works in a pluralistic society. Which leads me to a very honest and respectful question for this body. What exactly are you afraid of? What has changed in the last year and a half to prompt this sudden shift in posture? EXHIBIT B Is it pressure? National Politics? Discomfort with difference? Because fear is a poor foundation for public policy. Supporting this resolution as originally written doesn’t mean you’re endorsing any one group’s message—it means you’re endorsing equal protection under the law. And if that’s controversial now, we have deeper issues to address. In closing, I urge you: stand for liberty. Stand for fairness. And stand for the principle that East Wenatchee is a city that leads not by fear, but by inclusion. Thank you. This is a 3 min version, if we are asked to shorten our comments I have a shorter one I am happy to send if given if you need the exact language presented at council. Additionally, I don’t plan to give my exact address in my remarks due to the increase in political violence and attempts / threats there of.

As a resident of Rock Island (a future suburb of East Wenatchee), tax payer of Douglas county, and ally/member of the LGBTQ+ community I must protest the recent actions under consideration by city council members to potentially remove these banners. Although these banners seem like small insignificant pieces of fabric I must say they are quite the opposite. To someone whose very existence is often refuted, their identity constantly in question, and their fundamental rights trampled upon on a regular basis these banners represent a symbol of acceptance, love, and hope by their community. This valley has always felt welcoming to all, if the city motto is truly “a great place to land” it would be my hope that the elected representatives of this council remember compassion outweighs any potential cost to retain these banners.

Learn why this is important Hello East Wenatchee City Council, I am writing in support of keeping the Pride flags in East Wenatchee. These flags are a lifeline to our LGBTQ community, and represent our commitment as a community to follow the great commandment and love our neighbors. I grew up in Montana in the 70's and 80's, and I remember what it was like. I was taught a lot of ugly, prejudiced beliefs, but that all came to an end when I met a gay person. It was seeing this fully human person who was going through a heart break that changed my mind. I realized that I had been asked by my faith to take a stand against love. I believed, "God is love." I could no longer reconcile that with what the church asked me to do and believe. I believe that many are under the impression that they can remove gay people from the public eye and there won't be more of them. That's just wrong. LGBTQIA people have existed across time and in every culture. They're just part of the fabric of humanity. And, yes, they will continue to be born into families that want to erase their existence. The real damage here is done by those who want to erase their own kids. Go talk to some kids who have been thrown away by their families for being LGBTQIA. Anti-LGBTQIA churches are hurting people, and they shouldn't get a pass for that. It's wrong. It's not God. God is love. When anti-gay laws are passed, hate crimes against this community rise exponentially. Our LGBTQIA community is at risk because of actions like the East Wenatchee city council is considering. Because of suicide rates and risks to them, they qualify as a protected class -- just like veterans. Do the right thing. Support the people who live in your community who deserve to live their lives with dignity. Take a stand against hate toward minorities so we can live peacefully as one community. Keep the Pride flags up every June. Sincerely, Meliesa Tigard EXHIBIT B From:Tessa Timmons To:cityclerk; Taylor Stimmel; Ettore Castellente; Shayne L. Magdoff; Christine T.

Learn why this is important Dear East Wenatchee City Council Members, My name is Tessa Timmons, an East Wenatchee resident and behavioral health professional who works with youth, adults, and families across our valley. I’m writing in support of continuing the Pride banners during Pride Month. My focus is simple: the banners help our community function better—they support safety, civility, and family stability, and they do so without taking sides in anyone’s private beliefs. What Pride banners accomplish for East Wenatchee Promote calm and reduce conflict in public spaces. Clear civic messaging that everyone belongs lowers tension. People who feel seen are less likely to escalate in schools, workplaces, and customer-facing settings. That means fewer crises for teachers, law enforcement, and businesses to manage. Help families support their kids.When the city models respectful inclusion, parents and grandparents tell me it’s easier to keep communication open at home—even when family members disagree. That stability is protective for youth. Strengthen our workforce and local economy. Employers, healthcare systems, and first responders recruit better when a city demonstrates its welcoming. Pride Month is also a draw for diners, shoppers, and visitors who spend locally. Normalize help-seeking. In my work, people are far more likely EXHIBIT B to reach out early when they sense their city is safe to do so. Early care is almost always simpler, cheaper, and more effective than crisis care. Suicide prevention impact In behavioral health, belonging and connection are core protective factors. For LGBTQ+ residents—especially youth—public inclusion cues like banners can be the difference between staying silent andtelling someone they’re struggling. That moment of openness is often what connects a person to counseling, a trusted adult, or988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) before risk escalates. Keeping the banners, and pairing them with visible resources during June, is a cost-effective, practical prevention step. Addressing controversy with fairness We are a diverse city. The way through disagreement is content- neutral governance, not removing one group’s visibility. Apply the same banner rules to everyone—clear timelines, placement and safety standards, maintenance expectations—and enforce them consistently. That approach protects free expression, community harmony, and the city’s credibility. Thank you for your service and for considering this request. Continuing the Pride banners is a modest action with high return for safety, civility, and family well-being. I’m glad to answer questions or share practical ideas from the behavioral health perspective.

Learn why this is important Dear Mayor and Members of the East Wenatchee City Council, I am writing as a community member to express my strong support for continuing todisplay Pride flags in East Wenatchee. These flags represent inclusion, visibility, andbelonging for many of our neighbors — especially our youth. Representation matters. Research from the Centers for Disease Control andPrevention shows that LGBTQ+ youth are three times more likely to seriouslyconsider suicide than their non-LGBTQ+ peers (41% compared to 13%). The Trevor Project’s 2024 National Survey found that 39% of LGBTQ+ young people seriously considered attempting suicide in the past year — a figure that rises to 46%among transgender and nonbinary youth. Yet when LGBTQ+ youth live in communities they perceive as accepting, their risk of suicide drops dramatically. That’s the power of visibility. When our city chooses to fly the Pride flag, we send amessage that East Wenatchee is a place where all people — regardless of who theylove or how they identify — are valued and welcome. For many young people, thisvisible act of inclusion can mean the difference between feeling isolated and feelingseen. The Pride flag does not divide us; it unites us around shared community values of respect, dignity, and belonging. By continuing this annual tradition, East Wenatchee can demonstrate leadership in creating a city that truly welcomes everyone. Thank you for considering the profound impact your decision will have on the lives ofresidents — especially our youth. I urge you to continue displaying the Pride flag as asymbol of our community’s commitment to inclusion, compassion, and hope.

As a gay woman, a resident, and a local business owner who has personally sponsored these banners in the past, I want to emphasize how meaningful their presence is to me and to so many others. For me, and for so many others, those banners are more than just colors on a pole. They represent safety, support, and belonging. Every time I see them, I feel a deep sense of pride and relief knowing that my community stands for inclusion and kindness. It tells people like me, and especially young people who might still be finding the courage to be themselves, that East Wenatchee is a place where they are seen and valued.Their presence each June symbolizes safety, support, and inclusion for our LGBTQ+ community. They send a message that our city values diversity, equality, and kindness, ideals that strengthen our community as a whole. For many of us, seeing those banners affirms that we are seen and respected in the place we call home. They create a sense of safety and belonging in public spaces that have not always felt welcoming. Removing them would send the opposite message, one of exclusion, and would be devastating to many individuals and families who look to our city for acceptance and support. East Wenatchee has made meaningful progress toward fostering an inclusive and compassionate community. Continuing to display the Pride banners is an important part of that progress. I’ve always admired the progress our city has made toward acceptance and understanding. Keeping these banners up each June is a small but powerful way to show that East Wenatchee truly values all its residents. It’s a message of love and unity, one I believe we can all be proud to stand behind. I respectfully urge the Council to uphold this tradition and to affirm that our city stands for dignity, visibility, and unity for all.

After listening for the hour and a half, my take away from this meeting is, that the LGBTQ community, each one as an individual, has run away from their God given identity. And now we are expected to join in this deception and say that a man is a woman or vice versa and that we must address them by their preferred pronouns. I don't play those games. I follow the real science that is XX and XY. Those of us who see ourselves the way God made us do not need to celebrate it or parade it in front of everyone else. I could go on saying many other things but to cut to the chase, I would like to see all banners removed and even though I have purchased one of the celebrate mothers banners I would say take it down. Put up the American flag, classy chassis, wings and wheels, Veterans, Christmas et cetera. I believe this way you could stay away from legal ramifications of taking down just the pride flags. I do not hate these people but God tells us to love the sinner and hate the sin. I know we are all sinners but the pride group loves to parade their sin and the part that really bothers me is how they try to draw children in to join their group.

Your time, energy, and dedication to consistently improving the city of East Wenatchee is greatly appreciated. As East Wenatchee residents, it means a great deal to us that we have you as members of the city's council. We have grown up in this valley and are currently raising our three daughters here. For years now, we have driven our girls to school in the Eastmont School District.. When the American flag flies along the streets to school, we understand the unity, as we are all Americans. When Veteran's flags have flown, we have appreciated the unity in acknowledging the sacrifice the servicemen and women have made for all of us in this county. When Mother's Day flags have flown, we appreciate the unity in honoring mothers (we all have a mother!). When the pride flags have flown, we recognize that these flags are not representative of a majority of our community and do nothing to bring East Wenatchee together on a united front. We understand the current banner policy as it stands does not support the original intent of the city council, and we support the council members who have brought this to attention. We believe our city should not be promoting ideologies that a majority of our community does not agree with, so we fully support re-evaluating the banner policy. Our hope would be that our city would no longer fly flags promoting a divisive agenda. You have our support in doing the right thing, Zach and Amy Williams EXHIBIT B Citizen Comment Card The City Council is providing an opportunity for public comment via written comment.
