In 2 weeks the Superbowl will be held in the City of Santa Clara.
For the past 3 hours, the normal business of the Santa Clara City Council has been held up by person after person coming forward in public comment to tell City Council and its local police force to stand up and take concrete actions to protect people from ICE.
Council is not allowed to act on an item not on the agenda, but they are talking now about holding a special meeting asap to take action.
If you're in the Bay Area, there's a whole set of community actions planned for Superbowl Week - join us! #sfba #ICEOut #Superbowl #SantaClara

Vote passed, Council will have a full discussion & can take action on Feb. 3. If you live in or near Santa Clara you can submit written public comment, or speak at the meeting. It will be broadcast on video too.
After another 3+ hours of impassioned public comment, including a repeat appearance by Batman, City of Santa Clara unanimously passed a set of policies to prevent local collaboration with ICE terrorists during the Superbowl, or at any other time (the World Cup is coming here soon too). #SantaClara #Superbowl #ICEOut
