Is Police Accountability Possible in Oakland?
A national conversation is taking place about reforming, defunding, and re-imagining policing. Please join in the dialog!
The Oakland Police Department has caused untold suffering to families of mostly black and brown residents and has cost taxpayers $74 million dollars in legal settlements over the last 10 years. Being under a consent decree has failed to resolve problems in spite of 17 years of court oversight.
How could this happen? What can we do about it? Representatives from The Coalition for Police Accountability will share recent history of the Oakland Police Department and update us on Measure LL – the upcoming ballot initiative that hopes to strengthen police oversight and accountability.
It’s time for Oakland residents to make our police department accountable to the people of Oakland that they are sworn to serve.
The Zoom meeting is hosted by Reverend Theresa Soto, the Journey Towards Wholeness Transformation Team, and the Justice Team of the First Unitarian Church of Oakland.
