Alexandria Democratic Committee Passes Public Safety Resolutions

At its monthly meeting on September 10, held via Zoom, the Alexandria Democratic Committee (ADC) adopted two resolutions addressing public safety, residents’ rights, and accountability.

The ADC commended Mayor Alyia Gaskins and the Alexandria City Council for their commitment to providing the maximum protection permitted by Virginia and federal law to Alexandria residents facing unlawful conduct by federal agents. The resolution concerning ICE and CBP supports future efforts by the APD to provide clear APD policies and training, impartial enforcement of the law, investigation of suspected criminal conduct, compliance with Virginia’s duty-to-intervene requirements, and protection of residents who call 911 when they are threatened or in danger.

The ADC also adopted a resolution congratulating Governor Abigail Spanberger and Democratic members of the 2026 Virginia General Assembly on the enactment of new firearm-safety laws addressing issues including domestic violence, safe firearm storage, ghost guns, assault firearms, background checks, and emergency substantial-risk orders.

The resolutions reflect the ADC’s continued commitment to safe communities, equal protection under the law, and the dignity and rights of every Alexandrian.
