Title: Petition from the residents of the City of Pittsburgh requesting a Public Hearing before City Council relative to passing Sanctuary City legislation for Pittsburgh to make the City a truly welcoming City for all by codifying in law that all City public services should be made accessible to everyone regardless of immigration status, origin, color of skin, sexual orientation, religion or language.
