New Actions
- Calling Hyattsville residents! Council member Schaible is circulating a draft letter to the city Council that needs additional cosponsors. The letter is addressed to the county exec and calls on her to revoke the permit for ICE offices at 6505 Belcrest Road, and asks the county to establish oversight and enforcement processes. What you can do: send a note to your Hyattsville City Council member asking them to co-sponsor this letter to go on the council agenda for Sept 14. We especially think Councilmembers Haba (Ward 4) Waszczak (Ward 1), and Solomon (Ward 5) may be open to co-sponsoring. Council members are listed on the city website at https://www.hyattsville.org/834/Mayor-Council. Their email address format is first initial last name [at]hyattsville.org. So, Danny Schaible is dschaible[at]hyattsville.org. – https://www.hyattsville.org/834/Mayor-Council
