Urgent Action on Police Accountability!

It's time for truly independent investigations of police complaints. View this email in your browser   Greetings to supporters of reform of the Citizens Review Board on Police Practices (CRB).  As you know, Women Occupy San Diego (WOSD) has worked on this issue for many years and in 2016 the City Council placed Measure G on the ballot, which they wrote taking a few ideas from us.  Measure G passed with 83% of the vote.  But it is only a very small first step.  We have rewritten our proposed CRB Charter Amendment, changing the CRB from a "review board" to an Independent Commission, similar to the Ethics Commission.  A copy of our proposal can be read here.   The new Commission on Police Reform City Charter Amendment  has been submitted and is being presented at the April 11th Rules Committee Meeting! We will be asking the Rules Committee to send the proposal to the full City Council to have them put it on the November 2018 ballot. Please Attend the San Diego City Council Rules Committee meeting! Wednesday, April 11 @ 1PM 202 C Street City Council Committee Room, 12th Floor We need everyone to attend and support the proposed Amendment to the City Charter.  You can read the amendment here. Arrive at 12:30 to assure a seat. To share your story fill out a speakers slip,  or you can cede time to a speaker on the agenda.   Call or Email your council member!   Is your council member one of the 5 members on the Rules Committee? (see below)   Please call her/him and ask them to support this urgently needed reform!  You can also contact any of the council members even if you aren't in their district.

Or problem with the application process to be on the board? Decided not to bother because you know they just agree/support the police investigation?  Please contact Andrea St.Julius with your story  astjulian@san.rr.com ...You can also come tell your story at the upcoming Rules committee or at any city council meeting.     Do you belong to or know of an organization or group that would support this effort?

Join us to highlight student safety over gun rights.

Friend on Facebook Follow on Twitter Forward to a Friend Moms Demand Action, the Brady Campaign and our San Diegans for GunViolence Prevention partners share the mission to end gun violence.   Our goals: Balance the need to preserve public safety with the rights of responsible citizens to own and use guns Work legislatively to ensure that guns and ammunition are sold only to responsible citizens Advocate for responsible gun-violence prevention laws Educate the public about the epidemic of gun violence in this country and how it can be prevented Address specific issues of gun violence including domestic violence, suicide, mass shootings and accidental shootings Support city, state and national leaders, and candidates, who share our vision of communities free from gun violence Email:  sd4gvp@gmail.com Website:  sd4gvp.org Contact us Email: sandiego@bradymail.org  Website: www.bradycampaign.org/   Website: https://momsdemandaction.org/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ MomsDemandAction/   Dear GVP Friends,    Join us to support Cajon Valley students Welcome to our many new members.  We hope you, and our continuing members, will join our demonstration to highlight student safety over gun rights.  We intend to send a strong message to the Cajon Valley School Board and all East County elected officials that reasonable gun laws do not infringe on 2nd Amendment rights. Please read below and show up to support this important action.  Numbers are more critical than t-shirts, but If you have an SD4GVP, Brady or Moms t-shirt, please wear it.     Where:  Cajon Valley Union School District, 750 East Main Street, El Cajon, 92020 When:  Tuesday, April 10 at 5:00 pm What:  School Board Meeting where we plan to voice our concerns.  Why:   The day of the student walkouts in March, teaching intern Margaret Morghen sat in solidarity with a group of Cajon Valley students who were on detention for walking out of their classes for 17 minutes. Days later, Margaret was fired and banned from ever applying to work in the Cajon Valley schools for providing a quote about her activity on that day, when interviewed by the Union Tribune.       In contrast, Jim Miller, one of that district's Board members, a lifetime NRA member and a founder of the SD Gun Owners PAC, stated in a letter that "tragedies such as Parkland are used to weaken and eliminate citizen's 2nd amendment rights" and that he would "...oppose assaults on those 2nd amendment rights." His letter did not express any concerns about student safety.      This is wrong. Someone who supports students advocating for safety is fired and banned while someone who, in his own words, values 2nd amendment rights over student safety continues to serve on the board that is responsible for student welfare. It's time to re-evaluate our priorities. Look forward to seeing you on the 10th at 5:00.
