SUMMARY:Say NO to Drone Policing in Concord!
DESCRIPTION:Concord PD is considering a surveillance drone program. Come learn about the harm drone policing has on communities in our virtual webinar.\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Please join Concord Communities Alliance\, the ACLU of Northern California\, and the Electronic Frontier Foundation to learn about the harm Drones have had on BIPOC communities\, and overall violations to civil liberties. The City of Concord will be hearing a proposal from Concord Police Department to implement a formal drone program on Tuesday\, October 12th. We want to prepare the community with an info session/call to action and discuss what can be done to prevent harmful militarized police policies in Concord.  \nWe are demanding basic transparency from the Concord PD on their drone program proposal and use policy. As presented to us\, the use policy (viewable here)\, is void of a police oversight committee or commission\, budget expenditures\, tools to measure success\, data tracking to provide evidence the program is working as intended and reporting tools to be used\, and procedures and protocols.  \nWe want to prepare the community with this info session and discuss what can be done to prevent harmful militarized police policies in Concord. \nSpanish/English translation is available. \n			\n				Click here to register to join the discussion on Friday\, October 8th!\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				If you’re not able to join us\, please review CPD’s use policy and lift our concerns: \n\nWe want the community to be able to review and provide feedback on surveillance proposals and expenditures\, including a draft usage policy weeks (not days) before these proposals are discussed in City Council.  \nOn top of a police oversight committee\, Concord should adopt a Community Control Over Police (CCOPS) Surveillance Ordinance that promotes transparency\, the public’s welfare\, civil rights\, and civil liberties  \nInstead of spending taxpayer funds on a surveillance tool\, drone program\, that has no evidence to prove it prevents crime\, invest in programs that actually increase health and safety of Concord residents by funding youth programs\, invest in more tenant and businesses who need rent support to prevent evictions\, and coordinated housing assistance for seniors and the unhoused. \nDrones will discourage people from engaging in protests and other first amendment rights. Police informed us recently that they borrowed a drone from another jurisdiction and dispatched a drone to monitor Concordians gathered in Todos Santos Plaza after the death of George Floyd.  \nPolice frequently turn surveillance technologies against people of color\, immigrants\, and vulnerable populations. This technology can criminalize entire neighborhoods by using heat maps and facial recognition\, storing images of people\, and helping to identify residents.  Using drones to increase the police presence in our communities raises the likelihood that residents will have unnecessary contact with police and that routinely leads to police violence against Black and brown people.  \n\nCPD’s use policy is the worst general template from Lexipol.More information available at ACLU Template Example from Lexipol \nMore information on drones and surveillance tools CLICK HERE FOR ACLU GUIDE \nPlease join us tomorrow friday at 5PM to learn more and take action on Tuesday\, October 12th.

SUMMARY:Care Not Criminalization: The Responsibility of Local Government in Achieving Racial Equity
DESCRIPTION:Care Not Criminalization Series\nPart One: The Responsibility of Local Government in Achieving Racial Equity\nMonday\, October 5th\, 2020 @ 7:00pm\nJoin us in conversation with six candidates running for various local government positions as we hear how each of these positions is vital to equitable public safety and how they are working towards racial equity. \nKeisha Nzewi Candidate for Mt. Diablo Unified School District Area 3 Tamisha Walker Candidate for Antioch City Council District 1 Hope Johnson Candidate for Concord City Council District 2 Michael Samson Candidate for Walnut Creek City Council Eduardo Torres Candidate for Ambrose Recreation and Parks District Board Jovanka Beckles Candidate for AC Transit Board Ward 1 \nRegister at the link below to receive your joining information! \n \n			\n				REGISTER\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				About the Series\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				In July\, Concord’s City Council responded to calls to hold its police department accountable\, defund the police\, and reinvest in community care. Mayor Tim McGallian held one Study Session — a formal City Council meeting where they study publicly with an expert — but the expert was the Chief of Police. \nWhen Defund Concord PD asked Mayor McGallian to hold equivalent Study Sessions with service providers and experts in racial equity and macro social work\, the Mayor agreed but then never followed through. Further\, City Manager Valerie Barone scheduled a virtual Town Hall to talk about Mental Health and Homelessness in response to calls for a non-police response to these issues\, but left our unhoused neighbors almost entirely out of the conversation\, and prevented community unity during the session by disabling chat and video elements. \nHere at Defund Concord PD\, we believe that these conversations are still important even if the City refuses to hold space for them to happen. Our goal is to educate residents on what is needed to achieve racial equity in the Concord community and prepare residents to take action during the November election and when the city budget is up for discussion this year. We want to unite the community and foster community-based solutions and responses to the issues we are facing. \nJoin us for our 4-part series\, Care Not Criminalization as we learn about the way forward in Concord! \nMonday\, October 5th\, 2020 @ 7:00pm The Responsibility of Local Government: A Conversation with Local Candidates Monday\, October 26th\, 2020 @ 7:00pm Learning from the Experts: A Conversation with Experts in Macro Social Work and Racial Equity Monday\, November 16th\, 2020 @ 7:00pm Supporting Existing Activists: A Conversation with Non-Profit Leaders Monday\, December 7th\, 2020 @ 7:00pm Community Response: A Town Hall Style Discussion on What We Have Learned \nRegister at the link below to receive your joining link.  \n			\n				REGISTER
