🚨Happening now: Black juror suppression in California. Using the pandemic as an excuse to make Oakland residents travel to far away counties if they want to serve. While also allowing white jurors from outside counties to flood Oakland juries. Not okay. mercurynews.com/2020/12/29/ala…
The only Black Chief defender in CA, @BrendonWoodsPD:
“You marched! Risked your lives during a pandemic to oppose racial injustice. Stop the courts from making jury service harder for people of color.”
Public comment till Jan. 5. Let them know: pcomments@alameda.courts.ca.gov
