Pack Public Comment is back, but now, thanks to our Democratic legislative majority, your impact will be amplified more than ever. The Democratic Caucus is taking on tough issues, and as one of their first acts they moved half of the regular meetings of the County Legislature to the evening. This marks the first time in 60 years where it's becoming truly accessible for our working class neighbors to make their voices heard.
At the February 5th meeting, two key issues sponsored by Democratic Legislators will be voted on. Our margins are close, and it's crucial we make our voices heard to generate bipartisan support for what matters:
- A resolution to OPPOSE the construction of new ICE facilities in Orange County, like the detention facility being proposed in Chester.
- The creation of a new task force on public transportation, with the goal of making these services more accessible county-wide.
Please use this link to RSVP, whether you intend to speak or just attend in solidarity. We will share more information on the agenda items and meeting logistics with everyone who signs up. If you plan to speak you must sign up for public comment, or have someone sign you up, by 6:00PM.
Public comment on agenda items is at the beginning of the meeting. We encourage you to share your personal experiences and reasons why these initiatives impact you and your community.
