This month the Criminal Justice Committee will be going over much of the legislation that has been passed in the California Legislature over the last few years. There has been a lot of it. We need to be aware of how our laws have changed and how and if they are being implemented locally. Members of the committee have done research on these bills and will be reporting back to us. We hope to share some of that information on our webpage so that members will be able to access it easily.
In April, Laila Aziz from The Pillars of the Community will be our guest speaker and she will share some of what her organization is doing to help those incarcerated and newly released. It is important that those who have made mistakes in their lives and have paid for those mistakes, can be brought back into society to be productive citizens again.
The County will be hosting three community forums to share preliminary findings from the County’s gun violence reduction community needs assessment.
