Tonight, as we recognize Transgender Week of Visibility in the City of Sacramento, I was honored to introduce a resolution to declare Sacramento a Sanctuary City for Transgender People in partnership with DSA Sacramento. This resolution was supported by a myriad of organizations and was unanimously approved by my colleagues.

This resolution was written and directly informed by transgender community leaders. It was put forward in recognition of the rise in laws across our country seeking to limit or completely restrict access to gender-affirming care. By affirming our commitment to supporting our LGBTQ+ community and ensuring that no city resources or staff time will be used to help enforce these harmful laws in other jurisdictions, the City has taken a step beyond state law and sent a powerful signal to everyone in our community that we are a safe place for everyone.

Tonight’s testimony in support of this resolution was a powerful reminder of the resiliency and passion in our community to protect our transgender neighbors. I have never been prouder to represent this incredible city I call home.

Our office was happy to attend the documentary screening of “Reimagining Safety” by filmmaker Mathew Solomon. Followed by a panel discussion, hosted by the Sacramento Valley Psychological Association in partnership with Public Health Advocates, the Sacramento chapter of the California Faculty Association, and Sacramento State’s Department of Political Science.

It is more important than ever to examine the impacts of policing and mass incarceration on our community. We thank our hosts and community members for choosing to engage in this critical conversation.

“Police response has become the oversized band-aid for something the band-aid was never designed to cover or heal,” says Ryan McClinton, who is managing a @WeArePHA campaign to overhaul the 911 system.

Psychologist Corrine McIntosh Sako points out 63% of people in the jail—2,147 people—receive mental health treatment behind bars. "That makes our county's jail one of the largest behavioral health providers in our county of a service that it's not designed to provide." Yikes!
