Our very own Andrew Gillum hosts a town hall with Black mayors to discuss how local leaders are responding to federal actions (and inactions), and what protections cities are able to provide to their residents.

Federal law enforcement actions are ramping up within our cities, directly impacting Black and immigrant communities. Residents are looking to mayors for leadership and protection while cities face legal constraints, political pressure, and public scrutiny.

The Mayors will speak candidly about what local power truly looks like in practice, where their power starts and ends, and what strategies are currently in use.

Guests Include:

Mayor Frank Scott of Little Rock, AR

Mayor Van Johnson of Savannah, GA

Mayor Leonardo Williams of Durham, NC

Welcome home y’all!
