Denounce federal border wall and ban city contracts with wall builders
Resolution 63-17
In Plain English
The city would formally oppose the presidential executive order for a U.S.-Mexico border wall. If approved, Richmond stops doing business with any companies that help build the wall. This affects which contractors the city can hire for future projects like road repairs or park maintenance.
