🚨 URGENT CALL TO ACTION 🚨
Say NO to Transphobic City Policy
The Monterey Peninsula Pride Center recently sounded the alarm on their Instagram that the City of Monterey is incorporating blatant transphobia into their Annual Action Plan, citing an Executive Order as justification. Executive Orders are NOT law, there is no legal obligation for the City of Monterey to comply with it. We can not let them perpetuate this violence under the guise of lawfulness, call them out for what it is: rolling over for a fascistic regime instead of standing up for vulnerable community members.
What can you do?
Per The Monterey Peninsula Pride Center's post:
"Contact our local leaders! The Monterey Planning Commission will review public comment at their Tuesday, April 14, 2026 meeting, followed by the City Council at their regularly scheduled meeting on Tuesday, May 5, 2026. Public comments will be accepted via the following routes:
• In-Person at the Commission/ Council meetings
• By mail to the Housing Office at 570 Pacific Street, Monterey, CA 93940
• Email to housingemonterey.gov, bonus if you also include cityclerkmonterey.gov and our local councilmembers!
• By telephone at 831-646-3995
Public comments received and the City's responses will become part of the public record, making our collective voices especially important at this time."
