The resolution was not put on the City Council agenda last night. This pause is not a stop: "We will continue to move together. Seguiremos avanzando juntos."

From our educators: “Urgent: Email City Council Members and County Commissioners by tomorrow, 11.18, to urge them to pass a resolution to protect our schools and communities from ICE activity on school, city, or county property. We need policy to protect our communities!” - ACAE & BCAE

24/7 Community Hotline (en español en los comentarios…) To report possible ICE or Checkpoints, CIMA sends verifiers to confirm these reports. ➡️ Check the CIMA Facebook page for updates ☎️ Call hotline if what you see is not posted 1(888)839-2839
