| | | We hope you'll be able to take part in this special community day at the park! | Urge Alameda County Supervisors to pass effective Sheriff Oversight | |
State law mandates that county boards of supervisors oversee sheriffs’ offices. AB 1185, which took effect in 2021, gave counties the authority to establish civilian oversight boards to assist supervisors in that role. It is a proactive step towards enhancing sheriff accountability and transparency. LWV supports a more independent board with more power to investigate. Learn more here.

If you care about democracy as much as we do, we hope you'll consider joining our team! We are an all volunteer organization with "jobs" that range from once in a while tasks to full year positions.
Join our group of fun, passionate volunteers and help make a difference in your community!
