Declare racism a public health crisis

A clear and strong resolution of anti-racism for cities, County, hospitals, other insitutions

Build pipelines of leadership

Have a people of color board or commission to inform the Board of Supervisors since the majority of the county is people of color but don't have that represented in the BOS

Restoration justice practices in schools and juvenile systems so we minimize punitive systems that over police children and youth of color and creae al tail spin for their aiblity to be successful

Collect data where possible that includes race, SOGI and other identifiers so we understand the issues people are facing, always disaggregate data and share with the public where possible

Funding prevention instead of punishment – move money upstream to support families and youth to prevent issues before they begin.

More mental health supports as rapid response versus policing

Partner with schools to advance racial justice

Advance and educate 8 Can’t Wait Campaign for 8 policies for law enforcement reform across all 4 CCCCS cities:

Ban chokeholds & strangleholds
Require de-escalation
Require warning before shooting
Require exhausting all alternatives before shooting
Duty to intervene
Ban shooting at moving vehicles
Require use of force continuum
Require comprehensive reporting
(https://8cantwait.org/)

Advisory board of oversight for law enforcement with people of color.

Work to improve community relations with those safety departments to make sure that youth and people of color feel respected, cared for and valued by those systems instead of feeling disrespected, harassed, or even scared by them.

Start conversations with our local Police and Sheriff departments and scrutinize how those public safety systems are working to make sure that the violence is not happening in our own backyard.

Learn about police training, particularly as it pertains to education and de-escalation (if in place), demilitarization and local recruitment as all these are linked to police violence

Racial affinity learning groups for educators and providers in our communities. In racial affinity, people can express their questions, learnings without traumatizing other racial groups, specifically people of color. Learning groups could include discussions based on readings, podcasets, videos, etc.
