October 23 Program

Our speaker this month will be Kate Yavenditti of Women Occupy San Diego and the National Lawyers Guild.  She will be speaking about their proposed Charter Amendment that will change the current Community Review Board on Police Practices, which reviews investigations of police misconduct complaints that are done by SDPD, to an independent Commission on Police Practices, that does an independent investigation.

Women Occupy San Diego is an independent organization of San Diego County women dedicated to creating an equitable economic system and restoring government for and by the people rather than for corporations and the wealthy. Kate is a practicing attorney and activist.

We also will briefly be discussing ballot measures and we will hold our election for 2019 officers.kate1
