DESCRIPTION:BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) Board of Directors Meeting. 
 Agenda.\n\n\n\n\nDirections:\nThe BART Board Meeting Room is entered on 
 Webster Street between 20th and 21st, to the north of the large CVS store 
 at 20th and Webster.\n\n\nBART will be considering newly-elected BART rep 
 Lateefah Simon's proposal for "sanctuary transit" i.e instructions to 
 BART's police department to not cooperate with immigration enforcement 
 activities on the Bay Area's rail system and to ensure unfettered travel to 
 and from work, family and leisure for all residents regardless of 
 status.\nOp-Ed in the SF Chronicle\n...The risks to our undocumented riders 
 are real. On May 14, after being questioned about his immigration status, a 
 rider on the Metro Transit system in Minneapolis was tased and arrested. 
 Within days, he was transferred to the U.S. Immigration and Customs 
 Enforcement, and a federal immigration judge ordered him deported. The 
 right to use public transit should never come with exposure to such danger. 
 Implementing the Safe Transit Policy is essential for preventing similar 
 incidents on BART.\n\n...\n\nThe Safe Transit Policy ensures that 
 regardless of ethnic or national origin, gender, gender identity, race, 
 religion, sexual orientation or immigration status, riders can count on a 
 safe and secure environment on BART.\n\nSpecifically, the policy would 
 forbid BART from spending its resources to enforce federal immigration law 
 and prohibit BART police officers and employees from questioning riders 
 about their immigration status.\n
