State and city officials express solidarity at Chelsea vigil, urge donations
Summary
A representative introduced from the governor's office and a Chelsea city representative thanked organizers and pledged solidarity, urging donations and highlighting the mural and community support for Venezuelan victims.
At the Chelsea event, Cristina (introduced by the Moderator as a director in the governor's office for immigrants and refugees) thanked organizers and emphasized that the victims are people with names and families, not statistics. She praised volunteers and the mural created to honor victims and thanked members of the Massachusetts administration for support.
A Chelsea city representative, speaking as "diputada de Chelsea," thanked Gladys and La Colaborativa and praised the local community's sacrifices in giving despite limited means. Both officials called for continued donations and community solidarity; the transcript records their remarks but does not provide a formal pledge of city funds or a specific program commitment.
