Quotes

Officials only, in order.

One thing that I just also wanted to, to mention both to the audience, um, as well as my colleagues is that You know, I had actually voted down this recent budget, and I, you know, want to acknowledge my own role in adding things on the floor.Charlene Wang · Chairperson · District 254:27
First of all, in terms of what is all— what is in the executive order, but we cannot count on the fact that we are always going to have a mayor that supports undocumented communities, right?Charlene Wang · Chairperson · District 22:13:07
I think that there are multiple avenues that we can go about really righting those wrongs. But then in this moment, I think what we are really addressing is just this reaffirming of communities here in Oakland that here in the city of Oakland, this is a sanctuary city for all of our immigrant communities.Rowena Brown · At-Large2:20:35

How we count

Each summary sentence is checked against the transcript before it is published; in a blind check, 98 of 100 sentences were right. A voice gets an official’s name only when two AI readers and a code check agree, so the minutes undercount and are not attendance. Officials only: members of the public are counted, never named, shown or quoted, and full transcripts aren’t published because they can carry their names. More on how we know
