I Claim Sanctuary! (I Think) β€” Metro Junction Townhall In 2023, Kansas City passed Resolution No. 230385 β€” the β€œSanctuary City” ordinance for trans residents. We celebrated it. We shared it. But what does it actually protect?

🚨 Kansas City Is Not Yet a True Sanctuary for Trans People 🚨

Threats from the state prevent true safety. It’s time to ACT.

πŸ“ Join us April 5 @ Our Spot KC (3 PM) for a town hall + action steps.

Your Rights at a Protest The First Amendment protects many forms of expression, including the right to free speech, participating in demonstrations like protests and marches, leafleting, chanting, drumming and dancing. It

We're all getting more active, so be sure to know your rights at protests ✊

And remember if you're ever questioned or detained for any form of activism: stfu and ask for a lawyer 🫢

The Future of Safety Is Being Built in Kansas Cityβ€”If the City Will Let It Thrive With the launch of REACH, Kansas City's first-ever pre-arrest diversion program, the city stands on the brink of redefining safetyβ€”not with cages or punishment, but with care and restoration.

KC initiated the REACH program but isn't supporting it.

Read this article from @TheKansasCityDefender and then talk to our local council about it.

A city led by care is a city led by community, and as a community we need to keep an open conversation with our local officials.
