Hi John,
I grew up in Scottsdale. This is not us.
I am in shock and heartbroken that our community is being represented by
someone like Scottsdale City Councilman Guy Phillips.
If you missed it, we are now in national news because of Phillips's
despicable decision to use, in mockery, the dying words of George Floyd
to protest wearing a mask.
It was a truly appalling and disgusting display in our community
yesterday. Here is this morning's article from The Washington Post.
And this is not the first time we've seen such behavior from Councilman
Phillips. In March, I was vocal about another act of hate by him. He
shared hate-driven, false COVID-19 information making our Asian American
neighbors a target.
He has been allowed to say, "I didn't mean it" too many times.
This is repeated, blatant racism from an elected official. Our entire
AZ-06 community must stand together and demand action.
I'm grateful to those elected officials who have spoken out quickly and
clearly, condemning this behavior, but there has been no word from Rep.
Schweikert as of yet.
Here's how you can take action
Sign the petition for his resignation
Email Scottsdale Mayor Jim Lane
Email the City Council

This is not who we are.
Stay safe friends,
Anita Malik
