This resolution calls on the Berkeley City Council to maintain robust police accountability, including banning tear gas and strict pepper spray reporting, and to reject proposals that weaken these protections. It further urges the City to terminate its contract with Flock Safety cameras and uphold its Sanctuary City status to protect immigrant and undocumented residents. This matters to students as it advocates for privacy, civil liberties, and the safety of marginalized communities within Berkeley, aligning with ASUC's advocacy agenda. The ASUC President and EAVP are tasked with presenting this stance to the City Council at their next relevant meeting.
