Police Reform
Begins October 18th
In response to local and national demands for changes in policing to address decades of inequalities, Fresno City leaders have identified actions that hopefully prevent tragic events like the death of George Floyd. In that spirit, the 37-member commission includes residents, community advocates, and experts on public safety and community policing. The commission was form after the Fresno State NAACP presented a list of demands to the council including a review of how city policies unfairly affect the health and livelihoods of those in West Fresno.
The commission’s roster includes Fresno State NAACP president D’Aungillique Jackson who will discuss with us how their mission, to secure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of rights in order to eliminate race-based discrimination and ensure the health and well-being of all persons, will be added to commission’s work.
The Fresno State chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) are a Unit of the Youth & College Division of the NAACP, servicing the campus of Fresno State. To find out more about their work and to donate to the NAACP, visit https://www.naacp.org/.
