Before Deciding

When our representatives are making important decisions that impact all of our lives I believe it is important to ask one basic question before making
those decisions,
Is this good for
the children?

Just imagine what our world would be like if that question was asked prior to making decisions about going to war, the environment, education or healthcare.

2Mary Moore revisits the actions of her, Karen Sarri, author of Stolen Lives, and others in the late 1990s after a spate of killings by law enforcement officers in Sonoma County to spur the U.S. Civil Rights Commission to hold hearings and make a report in 2000, in which a Citizens' Review Board of County Law Enforcement was highly recommended. The report was ignored by the County Supervisors. It took the killing of 13-year old Andy Lopez in 2013 to create a public uproar that resulted in the Supervisors creating the Independent Office of Law Enforcement Review and Outreach (IOLERO), whose first director Jerry Threet found to be ineffective without subpoena power to force compliance by the Sheriff's Office to hand over records or attend hearings.  Mr. Threet is now leading the charge to encourage the Supervisors to place the Evelyn Cheatham Effective IOLERO Ordinance on the November ballot, which strengthens oversight and accountability of the Sheriff's Office. Mary calls the present day IOLERO, crumbs thrown to the public instead of a proper citizen's review board with subpoena power. Mary hopes the kiling of George Floyd and the national protests has created an atmosphere to effect real change locally in Sonoma County. The Board of Supervisors will take up the topic of a more effective IOLERO at Tuesday July 14th Board meeting, Item 27.

About our Guest: Mary Moore has been a social justice activist since 1962 focusing on issues or racism, sexism and classism. In the late ‘70s she organized a statewide network to stop Diablo Canyon and Rancho Secco nukes. She co founded the Bohemian Grove Action Network in 1980 to raise awareness of the elite and small network of men with outsized influence that gather annually at Bohemian Grove in Sonoma County. n the mid ‘90s she helped to start a local movement against police abuse, getting the US Civil Rights Com. to hold hearings in Sonoma County and documenting the unacceptable amount of killings by police. She is currently working on an archives project for the Bancroft Library in Berkeley.
