Deny the federal building fence

To: Mayor Knudson

From: A verified voter in Eugene, OR

March 17

Eugene should stand by its values, commitments to immigrants and refugees, and city policy. No fence keeps our Immigrant Community safe. A fence around the federal building increases our Immigrant Community's risk by blocking legal observers' oversight of ICE activities. Public buildings must remain public. Oregon is a sanctuary state, Lane County has a Sanctuary Statement, the City of Eugene has said it will not assist ICE. For these reasons I urge the City to deny any fence permit and keep public space open and safe for all.
