San Bernardino SAY no to the Model Cities Initiative Grant!!
Originally scheduled as a consent calendar item for the Aug 5th meeting, the City of San Bernardino was going to entertain voting to move forward to apply for the Department of Justice’s Model Cities Initiative Grant this afternoon. Yesterday afternoon the City Clerk notified the public that this item was pulled from the agenda.
We strongly encourage the City of San Bernardino to abandon the effort to apply for the Model Cities Grant and make a strong commitment to protecting residents from immoral and predatory tactics from the Federal government. Public safety should take into account the well being of the community!
How you can take action:
📍Attend the the August 5th City Council meeting and leave a public comment
📍Reach out to your elected official via phone and or email
Let’s speak up together!
📅 August 5th, 2026 🕒 5:00 pm📍555 West 6th Street, San Bernardino, CA (Bing Wong Auditorium)
