Tyrone Wade, inspired by the statue memorializing Tommie Smith and John Carlos' Black Power salute, believes that recent social and political progress has stalled. Running for the San Jose District 3 City Council seat, Wade emphasizes the need for community unity to advocate for undocumented individuals and reform in social services and policing. He expresses the urgency for citizens to coalesce and demand accountability from elected officials. Wade, competing against six other candidates after a scandal involving former Councilman Omar Torres, is motivated by historic struggles for civil rights and social justice.
Wade believes we must unite as a community to protect undocumented individuals and push for necessary changes in social services and police departments.
Wade draws inspiration from the 1968 Olympic salute, feeling that it symbolizes the need for cohesion among people to advocate for progress.
