Join community members, faith leaders, law enforcement officials and elected officials to pledge to “Protect & Serve” our community so that Black Lives Matter and to stop the criminalization of African American, Latino, Muslim and immigrant community members.

The structured program will include small group dialogue followed by questions of commitment for public officials about:

• Increasing oversight of the San Jose Police Dept, and
• Establishing oversight of the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office

We need strong independent oversight for transparency and accountability that is essential for building trust and protecting safety and justice for community members and law enforcement officials.

We need your voice and your listening to build a shared commitment for justice and shape policy for our community in San Jose and Santa Clara County.

Mayor Sam Liccardo, City Councilmembers Magdalena Carrasco, Chappie Jones and Raul Peralez, SJPD Chief Eddie Garcia and Supervisor Simitian are confirmed to attend.
