Leave a reply
The Latino and Latina Roundtable has endorsed the “People Called to Action March & Rally” (see attached flyer) this Saturday beginning with a lining up for the march at 10 AM in front of the Pomona Library (505 S. Garey Ave.).  This March & Rally, led by the Pomona Valley Branch NAACP is part of national actions of the Poor People’s Campaign against structural and systemic injustices (including injustices on issues of housing, immigration, poverty, racism, health care, women and infant mortality, special education, voter suppression, law enforcement, inflation, and the economy).  The LRT will have a banner and core of our members supporting and we ask that you join us.
For those who can join us the day before, we will also meet at the Solidarity Center (1460 E. Holt Ave.) on Friday, June 24 at 2:30 pm to make posters and signs.

Join us for Press conference, rally, city council meeting on Tues., April 10 – ICE Out of San Dimas

Leave a reply

We need your support!  Please show up to San Dimas City Council (245 East Bonita Ave.) at 6 PM for a rally and press conference on Tuesday, April 10th before the San Dimas City Council (set for 7 PM) where the city council will be taking up a discussion on opposing Senate Bill 54 (California Values Act).  This is part of a strategy of conservative right-wing groups to build momentum to get cities to sign on to a brief opposing the statewide bill that curtails cooperation between city and police with federal immigration officials. 

San Dimas Councilman Ryan Vienna said he decided to personally sign a brief opposing Senate Bill 54, passed last year and known as the California Values Act, because he believes it’s an important public safety matter. He urged his fellow elected officials Tuesday night to engage in a dialogue about the law’s potential impact to San Dimas.

After hearing the comments from Vienna at Tuesday’s meeting, San Dimas Councilman Emmett Badar proposed the council hold a study session on the issue.

The council is set to meet again on April 10 and will have the issue on the agenda.
