East Bay DSA

[1/4] On Oct. 16th, Sheriff's Office spokesperson Sgt. Juan Valencia told the public: "The Sonoma County Sheriff's Office does not cooperate with ICE." This is a lie. SoCo DSA filed a PRA. Here's what we know. [Pictured: an infographic that looks like paper torn away and marked up in red (same on all slides).]

[1/4] El 16 de oct., el portavoz de la Oficina del Sheriff, el sgto. Juan Valencia, declaró al público: "La Oficina del Sheriff del Condado de Sonoma no coopera con la migra." Esto es mentira. SoCo DSA investigó esto. Esto es lo que sabemos. [En la imagen: una infografía que parece papel rasgado y marcado en rojo (igual en todas las diapositivas).]

🚨 BREAKING: SoCo DSA has learned that the Sonoma County Sheriff's Office HAS been cooperating with ICE—and lying about it.

🚨 ÚLTIMA HORA: SoCo DSA se enteró de que la Oficina del Sheriff del Condado de Sonoma SÍ ha estado cooperando con la migra—y mintiendo al respecto.

During Friday’s meeting, Supervisor Fortunato Bas shared some statistics from her office that underline a powerful message: Alameda County overwhelmingly supports divestment.

Want to help hold the Supervisors to the EIP they adopted? Join the campaign at the link in our bio!

In a landmark decision, the Alameda County Board of Supervisors voted to adopt an Ethical Investment Policy (EIP) that bars the county from investing public funds in companies complicit in severe human rights violations as outlined by international law, including corporate complicity in Israel's ongoing genocide in Palestine.

With this decision, Alameda County becomes the first in the United States to adopt an EIP that divests from companies that enable Israeli apartheid and occupation.

The new policy brings the county's investments in line with international human rights standards and the demands of a growing national movement for Palestinian liberation. It is a victory for the Palestinian-led Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement.

We are energized to ensure the policy's full implementation and to back campagisn that will build on the BDS movement, like the Oakland People's Arms Embargo.

VICTORY! ALAMEDA COUNTY DIVESTS FROM GENOCIDE!

On October 3rd, Alameda County became the first in the United States to adopt an EIP that divests from companies that enable Israeli apartheid and occupation.

🚨🇵🇸 We are LESS THAN A WEEK AWAY from the date to demand the guarantee! 🍉🚨

Get ready to tell the Board in the meeting for the EIP to vote in favor!
