The Issue

City Council Members,

I write you all to demand that the city take action to protect its citizens. The Trump regime has declared war on humanity, civility and all that is just. The people have shown courage in the face of Fascism but we need the help of our local leaders. Local government is where the average person can still feel the impact of their voice and ability to hold their representatives accountable.

Because of this, we the people come to you now to demand local resources to support our communities effort to defend ourselves against authoritarianism. We demand our police immediately notify the public of any Federal immigration operations in our city. We demand the city provide public spaces and resources for local activists/organizations to collect and distribute food and supplies to those in need. Finally, we demand city council pass a resolution condemning the federal governments assault on our community and call for the immediate abolishment of ICE and redistributing the resources to social services, education and other meaningful/impactful government entities that actually serve the needs of the people.

¡Viva la Causa!
