The controversial statements and actions of newly minted President Donald Trump have sparked a national wave of public protests and resistance in the last couple months, including here in Petaluma where many rightly fear the president’s misguided edicts will harm residents in our community and our state.
Petaluma’s elected officials, from city council members all the way to Congressional representative Jared Huffman, are listening to their constituents, the vast majority of whom are unified against many of the president’s grievous policy proposals that would adversely affect the environment, health care, immigrants, abortion rights and public education. Collectively, Petalumans and their representatives have begun to fight back in unison.
