North Bay activists are outraged following the news that a controversial local church known for its anti-LGBTQ stance will be receiving money from a state grant.
After several tragic shootings at Jewish synagogues and Black churches, the California Legislature passed AB 1664 to fund security improvements to help congregations protect themselves from hate crimes. But when Jason Newman found out that $400,000 was being given to Victory Outreach Church in Santa Rosa, he was angered.
"There were some people who said it by name," said Newman. "And then immediately afterwards, someone came over to them and said, 'Oh, don't tell them that's where we're from.'" KPIX recieved no response for comment from Pastor Guadarrama, but he mades it clear in the sermon why they were going there.
