Yolo supervisors respond to a climate of feara with resolution

A recent Davis hate crime combined with a changing political landscape has prompted supervisors to respond in the form of a resolution - affirming Yolo County as a “safe and welcoming community” for all. “We drafted this resolution in response to calls from community members who share our concern with the recent vandalism at the Davis Islamic Center and the climate of fear from new federal policies,” stated Supervisor Don Saylor.
