Today Gabe is joined by Moiz from the Asian American Liberation Network to discuss item 29 on the Sacramento City Council Agenda for their 2pm meeting on Tuesday, April 28th. The toolkit can be found here. We're asking people to show up and make public comment, and demand an ordinance from the city that actually protects not only our immigrant neighbors, but all of us who know the overreach of law enforcement and the harm is causes.
