[Peace] Urbana City Council Meeting Monday night

[Fields, A Belden]

I must correct an error after talking with Jim Holliman.  His recollection, which seems very clear, is that while the Urbana City Council did unanimously pass the city of sanctuary resolution back in the 1980s re: Central American refugees, Mayor Markland refused to sign it.  So, legally the city was not a sanctuary city like Berkeley.
Sorry for any confusion this might have caused.
Belden

Still a "Sanctuary City"--but inclusive of other than Central American refugees?

When is discussion scheduled--before or after business meeting?

We were a sanctuary city for Salvadorans and Guatemalans in the 1980s. So we must still be one.

At that time, he did so against opposition from KKK members and Nazi Party supporters, as well as a death threat.
