Gay and immigrants' rights activists gathered outside City Hall yesterday to express anger at Mayor Gavin Newsom's self-imposed delay in implementing the city's municipal identification card program. Originally slated to begin next month, Newsom announced in August the suspension of the plan pending a thorough review of possible state and federal legal consequences.
The rally was organized by the Queer Youth Leadership Project, a group affiliated with San Francisco Pride at Work—an AFL-CIO group. Josue Argüelles, a member of the leadership project, told the crowd of 40 why the ID program, and the Sanctuary City policies in general, are important to him.
