Please join us to speak out against the use of dangerous scattershot munitions and the wide-open, unrestricted use of drones by the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office. This was pulled from the Board’s agenda last week by Supervisor Marquez.
County Board of Supervisors meeting
BAN SCATTERSHOTS and REGULATE DRONE USE
We expect the Supervisors to consider this issue at 11:00, when it is scheduled as a “set matter,” Item #82, beginning with the Sheriff’s presentation of its annual report on military equipment use. You can be alerted to when the item is coming up, and also when public comment is beginning, by joining a Signal group here. (If joining the Signal group doesn’t work for you, please let me know directly (JLindsay-Poland@afsc.org) and I will add you or alert you when it is coming up.)
Many of you have been part of speaking on this issue to the Supervisors in direct meetings, in Public Protection meetings, and to the sheriff directly. Now, before 2023 ends, is the time for the supervisors to step up and do the right thing. If Alameda County takes this step, it will be easier to get other counties and cities that have scattershot munitions to get rid of them.
