** Upcoming Events
------------------------------------------------------------
6/4/2020
In just a few days, we've seen massive protests take place across the US, including here in Sacramento, in response to George Floyd's murder and police violence. We urge all members to take part in supporting and fighting for Black liberation in the way they are able- whether that's donating, protesting or talking to your family and friends about why we have to abolish the police. You can read the chapter's George Floyd Solidarity Statement HERE ([link removed]) , written by our Racial Solidarity Committee.

We're still asking all members to submit a voicemail or email to city council in support of our recommendations for how the $89 million in covid emergency stimulus funds (CARES Act federal aid) should be spent.
You can submit an auto generated message in support of the letter by clicking HERE ([link removed]) and filling out the form.
You can also call the city council voicemail system at (916) 808-5908 and leave a message! You can use the following call script: “I’m calling in to support the recommendations of council member elect, Katie Valenzuela, for the $89 Million in federal stimulus money including direct rent and mortgage payment assistance, infrastructure and support for Safe Ground camping sites, and direct aid to households."
