Over the last year ACCE members and staff have participated in the Contra Costa County Racial Justice Coalition and attended the Racial Justice Task Force meetings. The purpose of this work is to push the county to adopt policies to reduce racial disparities in our county’s criminal justice system. Members of the Contra Costa County Racial Justice Coalition include ACCE, the Safe Return Project, the Public Defenders Association, SEIU Local 1021, the California Nurses Association and the Richmond Progressive Alliance.
