Join Fixin’ SMC for the California Coalition for Sheriff Oversight (CCSO) public launch. You will have the opportunity to hear from a panel of experts on the topic of civilian oversight of the Sheriff. The panelists include Jason Wechter, a board member of NACOLE, John Alden, the Sonoma County Director of IOLERO, and Marshal Arnwine from ACLU-NorCal.CCSO comprises grassroots organizers working on Sheriff oversight in California counties and is open to all interested counties. The purpose is to share experiences – challenges and wins, lessons learned, best practices – and to learn from each other and build a shared database of what works. There is power in numbers. We want to document and track what we are doing and what works to help each other and counties coming online with oversight.See also: Letter from LWV supporting AB 1185 (2020) and ACLU Demands Accountability from California SheriffsNorma Nelson from the League of Women Voters will welcome us and kick off the event.
