Hello,
My name is Abby Graham. I am a resident of Redlands. Although I don’t live in San Bernardino, issues affecting
vendors impact people across cities in our area.
I request the City Council and staff table this item until there is a true attempt to reach people most affected by the
proposed changes and/or community organizations, which hasn’t yet happened.
I request the City of San Bernardino stop its enforcement operations and criminalization until a complete and
accessible outreach and education strategy is established that includes input from vendors and community
organizations.
We ask that you meet with the Inland Coalition for Immigrant Justice And other community groups and people
affected as soon as possible to discuss education, outreach, and enforcement operations before any changes to the
municipal code are made.
