Voice Your Issues to Our Councilmember and Mayor: MESA doesn’t exist without your involvement. Many of us are having significant safety issues and are feeling unheard by our city officials. MESA is asking our Councilmember Phil Pluckebaum and Mayor Kevin McCarty to meet with us here, where we are. It would be very helpful if you let our city officials know that you are also experiencing safety issues and would like the opportunity to meet with them here. If you can help us, please email a message to them here:
Mayor Kevin McCarty kmccarty@cityofsacramento.org
Councilmember Phil Pluckebaum district4@cityofsacramento.org and
ppluckebaum@cityofsacramento.org

Nothing Happens Unless Someone Knows There’s a Problem. Ever wonder why something isn’t being done about an unsafe situation in the area? If it isn’t reported to the City, it is as if it isn’t happening. So, REPORT, REPORT, REPORT. We all need to report issues that are happening to create a record of the problem with the city. If you see something off in your area, report it. It has been discovered that the only way the City is responding to issues regarding People Experiencing Homelessness (PEH) is if a 311 report is filed. Call 311, or better yet, use the 311 app to report issues with PEH. Here’s the link to the app: https://www.cityofsacramento.gov/information-technology/311/sac311-smartphone-app
But Don’t Hesitate to Contact 911, Sac Police or Fire When Necessary. If you see something not right in the neighborhood, REPORT IT. We have all seen unsafe conditions in our neighborhood. If you see a situation unfolding that could cause harm to anyone or anything, call 911. If you need to report something to our police force, but it isn’t an emergency situation, please call the SacPD non-emergency number at 916-808-5471. See a fire burning where it shouldn’t? Call Sac Metro Fire’s number at 916-228-3035. If you are having other issues, contact 311. Report issues to 311, but if you know it is an emergency, don’t hesitate—call 911.
