IMMIGRANT  COMMUNITY GROUPS, CLERGY AND YOUTH ADVOCATES ASK MAYOR NEWSOM 
AND THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS TO SUPPORT IMMIGRANT YOUTH AND FAMILIES

WHAT: PRESS CONFERENCE & RALLY

WHEN: TUESDAY, JULY 29th AT 12 NOON

WHERE:       CITY HALL STEPS, SAN FRANCISCO (POLK STREET)

San Francisco, CA.— Community groups, clergy and youth advocates will
gather at City Hall to ask Mayor Newsom and the Board of Supervisors to
support public safety for all San Franciscans and due process and 
privacy rights in the juvenile justice system for all youths.  This 
press conference is in direct response to a series of misleading 
articles in the San Francisco Chronicle that blame the City’s crime on 
its Sanctuary status -- ignoring the thousands of immigrants that 
contribute to the city’s economic prosperity and cultural diversity, and 
also failing to recognize that undocumented youths and families are here 
often times because they are fleeing economic and political hardships in 
their home countries.
