Um so my name is Alex Wonder. 140 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:32,440 I'm the founder of Rose Park Bee Club. Um I'm a second-year awardee. Um all of 141 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:37,040 my work is through the Community Food Micro Grant. Um we primarily serve the 142 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:41,520 West Side, but our members are all throughout the valley. Um I work with 143 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:47,200 the Village Co-op, the Krishna Temple, Hive Kind, UPC, Food Not Bombs, SLC 144 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:50,880 Mutual Aid, uh the public library, and my program was featured on the mayor's 145 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:54,600 Instagram last year. Um 146 00:12:51,920 --> 00:13:00,000 last year we also distributed 7.5 gallons of honey for free to the 147 00:12:55,920 --> 00:13:05,560 community, um 250 peppers and tomatoes. Um about 100 people attended our annual 148 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:10,400 honey giveaway, and we hosted 22 free beekeeping classes while increasing 149 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:17,120 access to high-quality local food. Um I have three concerns for the City Council 150 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:21,839 today. Um one, I I'm concerned about uh protecting agricultural sites on the 151 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:26,000 West Side, um and the fact that we only have two protected sites. I'm not sure 152 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:29,920 who manages them, but I know one is Wheeler Farm. 153 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:34,200 Um, new industry on the west side is a loss of agricultural lands and um 154 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:38,360 reduced food choices and independence for the west side. And specifically 155 00:13:36,680 --> 00:13:43,080 cutting the funding to the community food micro-grant um impacts my program 156 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:47,320 and not just me, but there's so many really cool projects impacted by the 157 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:51,200 loss of this micro-grant for next year. And um I personally cannot operate 158 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:55,720 without it. Um for some context, bees pollinate one 159 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:59,480 in three bites of food and they need about two to five acres of continuously 160 00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:03,600 flowering plants for optimal health and surplus honey. And the west side 161 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:09,440 deserves beautiful spaces and reduced pollution exposure and food access that 162 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:15,720 like new industry um industry projects might um bring to us. Um and this would 163 00:14:12,560 --> 00:14:20,560 also support local pollinators as well. Um I ask that the council make an effort 164 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:24,680 to please protect our agricultural spaces and food production on the west 165 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:27,520 side. Um increase and ensure the longevity 166 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:33,880 And that 167 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:35,680 Jones followed by Nadja Mathai and then Kurt M- 168 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,680 M- goes here in person. 169 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:45,440 » Hi council members. My name is Keiko Jones. 170 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:50,440 I live on the west side and I love my community. 171 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:54,720 Um so I go to senior centers maybe twice, three times a week. 172 00:14:53,160 --> 00:15:00,800 And today was one of the special days at 173 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:07,640 Rivers Bend because uh advisory committee provided a 174 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:15,160 free pancake breakfast. And you should have seen people's faces. 175 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:20,360 It's not fancy, but I saw a lot of happy faces. 176 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:25,960 And it was made possible by Poplar Grove Community Council. 177 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:33,960 Uh earlier I reached out to some community councils on the west side 178 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:40,920 uh, to either co-sponsor or adopt a couple of events at the senior center. 179 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:45,760 And so far Popular Grove and Fair Park community councils 180 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:51,000 granted my requests. So, that was one of the events today. 181 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:56,560 Um, we may not have enough, but we do not 182 00:15:54,080 --> 00:16:03,120 lack generosity. People brought, you know, juice, peaches 183 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:08,120 to share with people. Uh, so I emailed all of you a couple of 184 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:13,600 weeks ago and I got two responses 185 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:19,600 and I thought the email was largely ignored, but then 186 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:24,080 one of the liaisons um, 187 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:30,371 emailed me on behalf of all of you and I really appreciate your attention. 188 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:34,920 Regardless of the outcome, I [clears throat] really want to say thank 189 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:39,120 you for your attention and consideration. 190 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,120 Thank you. 191 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:48,560 » Next will be Naja Mataya followed by Kurt Midtlyng and then Brett Crane. 192 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,560 Naja is here in person. 193 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:59,800 » Hello, Salt Lake City Council. Uh, my name is Naja Mataya and I'm from the 194 00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:05,199 Wasatch Assembly and I'm back to continue to talk about ICE and 195 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:09,319 immigration policy in Utah. Um, 196 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:14,120 again, I want to ask that uh, we appreciate Chris for responding 197 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:18,560 to our policy survey, but we still have not heard from 198 00:17:16,079 --> 00:17:24,480 uh, most of you and we just want to know, are you committed to continue the 199 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:30,760 fight against ICE? Do you want the community involved in local politics in 200 00:17:27,199 --> 00:17:36,320 this fight? We are um actively dedicated to supporting this in 201 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:41,000 any way, and we would love to talk to you more about it. Um 202 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:45,040 we're prepared to support those who are aligned with this. 203 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:51,240 Um We the people just need to know where you stand with small steps and symbolic 204 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:56,120 action or with real progress and sustained movements. 205 00:17:54,320 --> 00:18:00,320 Um people can see right now that the state government is not 206 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:04,280 really addressing the material needs of the conditions of the people who call 207 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:07,680 the state home. There's a lot of issues of 208 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:12,400 support for the legislators dropping a little bit right now. Um 209 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:16,840 So, this is the time to be bold. Tell your constituents where you stand on key 210 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:22,480 policy items that make real change and actually have effects in people's lives. 211 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:26,920 Just to reiterate our top policies that we agreed on uh responding to 212 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:32,760 immigration and ICE. Um Stop ICE facilities from being 213 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:37,480 constructed. No 287 agreements or municipal resources to ICE, which I 214 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:42,880 know you agree with. And then the free services for constitutional rights cons- 215 00:18:40,360 --> 00:18:47,440 constitutional rights violations. The rest of the policies are in the 216 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:51,360 handout, and you can contact us at wasatchassembly.org. 217 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:54,800 We're happy to meet with you to talk more about this. So. 218 00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:05,440 » Next will be Kurt Middelstadt, followed by Brett Crane, and then Jason Hogew. 219 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,440 Kurt is here in person. 220 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:12,320 » Hi council. Good to see you again. Kurt Middelstadt um with the Wasatch 221 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:15,080 Assembly. Um 222 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:20,480 you know, just back again to talk about ICE. So, thanks for your time again. Um, 223 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:25,840 you know, I just reiterate I I believe we as a community, um, including Salt 224 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:28,480 Lake City Council, um, have a responsibility to protect the people who 225 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:32,960 live here. Um, you know, while ICE is a federal 226 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:37,840 agency, it has local effects. Um, they affect our neighbors, our 227 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:42,960 families, our friends, um, our workplaces, our schools, 228 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:47,920 um, and our communities. And I think, you know, local government has choices 229 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:51,440 about whether it helps ICE, um, ignores ICE, or actively protects, um, 230 00:19:50,120 --> 00:19:55,760 its residents. Um, we continue to hear hear many 231 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:59,600 horrifying stories around the country of people being unlawfully detained, 232 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:03,960 separated from their families, with no apparent recourse, no accountability for 233 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:08,640 those at fault. Um, in fact, this happened to one of our our close family 234 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:11,760 friends, um, a little bit of time ago. Um, just to see the devastation that 235 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:16,080 brought was was heartbreaking, and that's just, you know, one one instance. 236 00:20:14,360 --> 00:20:20,240 Um, so just urge you to please take action, and let's not forget, um, about 237 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:24,520 these innocent people. Their friends and family certainly won't. Um, we, their 238 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:28,600 community, certainly won't, and we'll continue to show up, um, until we see 239 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:32,200 some, you know, real action and and real results. Thanks for your time. 240 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:39,360 » Next will be Brett Crane, followed by Jason Hoku. Brett is here in person. 241 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:47,880 » Uh, hello Salt Lake City Council. My name is Brett Crane. I am a student at 242 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:50,800 the University of Utah who moved here 3 years ago. 243 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:54,400 I'm here today because I'm concerned for the safety, well-being, and belonging of 244 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:57,800 immigrants in this city. As a student watching others in my 245 00:20:55,800 --> 00:21:01,880 position face removal from educational institutions and having their educations 246 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:05,880 disrupted because of their immigration status is unfair and discriminatory. 247 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:09,280 No student should have to fear the abrupt end of their education. No 248 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:13,480 student should have to worry about their parents, grandparents, or families being 249 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:15,960 sent away from their homes without just warning. 250 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:19,520 No student should feel afraid to trust their local authority. 251 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:23,280 Salt Lake City already has demonstrated its opposition to ICE expansion. 252 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:27,960 I'm asking you as a member of a community to represent our opposition. 253 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:32,200 The Wasatch Assembly has brought you a clear set of demands developed by people 254 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:35,320 in this community. Salt Lake City has a responsibility to protect the people who 255 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:39,640 live here. ICE's status as a federal agency does 256 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:43,160 not negate the profound impact it has on local communities. 257 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:47,560 Our neighbors, families, friends, and co-workers, our schools, and our 258 00:21:45,120 --> 00:21:51,320 communities are all affected by ICE. Local government has choices about 259 00:21:49,120 --> 00:21:54,760 whether it helps ICE, ignores ICE, or actively protects its residents from 260 00:21:53,200 --> 00:22:00,160 ICE's abuse. My top priorities, my priority policies 261 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:04,600 representing the Wasatch Assembly's agenda are providing free legal services 262 00:22:03,120 --> 00:22:09,600 for Salt Lake City residents whose constitutional rights are violated by 263 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:14,360 federal federal immigration enforcement. Require judicial warrants before 264 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:19,440 facilities, records, databases, or other city resources are accessed for federal 265 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:23,080 immigration enforcement. Except for access or disclosure is otherwise 266 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:27,640 legally required. And ultimately, passing a resolution 267 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:30,000 calling for the abolition of ICE. Thank you. 268 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:36,760 » And next will be Jason Hoku. Jason is here in person. 269 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:46,320 » Hello, Salt Lake City Council members. Uh my name is Jason. I've lived in Salt 270 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:50,440 Lake City all my life. And I'm also here today because I believe no one should 271 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:54,520 have to worry if they attend their next immigration appointment or are pulled 272 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:58,720 over for a broken brake light, they might be dragged off to a detention 273 00:22:56,280 --> 00:23:02,160 center. Um it's unconstitutional, it's unconscionable, and it's happening in 274 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:06,720 our backyard. Um I want you to see the 30-plus people 275 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:11,400 who are forcibly flown out of our very own Salt 276 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:16,160 Lake City or Salt Lake Airport every single day. I want you to see our 277 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:20,560 Senator Luz Escamilla telling reporters that ICE told a detained mother to, 278 00:23:18,120 --> 00:23:26,000 quote, drink out of the toilet. I want you to see the scared, lonely dog I saw 279 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:30,040 at Best Friends Animal Society who understood Spanish and had a little 280 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:33,360 sticker that said bilingual king. I want you to see the community 281 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:36,480 gathering I attended this summer calling for the father of one of my high school 282 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:40,000 classmates to be freed. 283 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:45,200 He was not given his critical diabetes treatment while in ICE custody. And I've 284 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:48,800 seen the work that this council and Salt Lake City have done to resist ICE's 285 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:53,680 expansion in our community, including helping to stop the ICE warehouse. Your 286 00:23:51,120 --> 00:23:57,800 work so far has not gone unnoticed, but especially as ICE ramps up its attacks, 287 00:23:56,040 --> 00:24:02,400 we need more action to keep everyone in our community safe. The Wasatch Assembly 288 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:05,880 has created a clear and actionable list of next steps developed by people in the 289 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:10,760 community. I want to voice my support for requiring judicial warrants 290 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:15,240 before Salt Lake City facilities, records, databases, or other city 291 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:19,360 resources are accessed by immigration enforcement. I want to express my 292 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:23,080 support for requiring the Salt Lake City departments to publicly publicly report 293 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:27,880 their interactions with ICE and other federal authorities. And also providing 294 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:32,280 free legal services for Salt Lake City residents whose constitutional rights 295 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:35,720 have been violated by ICE. When the federal government tries to take away 296 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:41,560 our neighbors' rights to justice, it's up to us to fill in the rest. 297 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,560 Thank you. 298 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:45,880 » And that was the final registered commenter. 299 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:52,280 » Thank you all of you that share your your thoughts. 300 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:55,560 Um, this 301 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:59,520 really concludes the Salt Salt Lake City Council meeting for today, 302 00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:02,120 Um, this formal meeting stands adjourned. 303 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,640 » Thank you.
