A Healdsburg City Council member abruptly resigned Monday, citing 'housing instability' and 'hostile treatment' in her resignation letter.
HEALDSBURG – A Healdsburg City Council member abruptly resigned Monday, citing “housing instability” and “hostile treatment” in her resignation letter.
“When I put it in perspective, I could either continue in my position knowing that my basic needs of housing and safety may not be met, or I can choose to advocate for myself and focus on meeting these needs,” she said in her resignation letter.Palacios was elected to the council in 2020 at age 25 and was the only Black member of the council in a city with roughly 80 percent of residents identifying as white, according to 2019 population estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau.
She subsequently argued that her exclusion from in-person meetings was akin to the racial segregation codified by Jim Crow laws in the southern United States in the late 19th and 20th centuries. Hagele also acknowledged that Palacios “earned” her seat on the council after campaigning during the throes of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The work will continue on and we’ll work with city staff to keep envisioning a better Healdsburg for all,” he said. “I appreciate your voice on this council, you will be missed.”
