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.

1Commentary by Elaine B. Holtz:  I am really honored today. Joining me in the studio is, retired attorney, mitigation specialist, and investigator, Nancy Pemberton, who is a member of the Committee for Law Enforcement Accountability Now (CLEAN) and the Community Advisory Council (CAC) of the Independent Office of Law Enforcement Review and Outreach (IOLERO). We will be talking about the CLEAN Committee and IOLERO. This is her second interview with me.

Our Thanksgiving was celebrated at our daughter Susan’s house and we welcomed the extended family who attended. Even my granddaughter Katie drove up with her fiancé Trevor Elliot. I shared with all the Native American Ten Commandments to honor my guest Madonna Feather Cruz whom I talked to on last week’s show on the Indigenous People’s Thanksgiving Sunrise Ceremony at Alcatraz.

Native American Ten Commandments

My friend, author, poet and entertainer Kym Trippsmith reminded me that the annual Goddess Crafts Faire is happening this weekend at the Sebastopol Community Cultural Center. The poster for the event can be seen below under Announcements.

This is the last show of the month and we will recite the Women's Spaces Pledge.

2. Our Guest, Nancy Pemberton shares the activities of the Committee for Law Enforcement Accountability Now (CLEAN), a volunteer organization, and the Community Advisory Council (CAC) of the Independent Office of Law Enforcement Review and Outreach (IOLERO), a county government agency. Nancy also has worked on the passage of Measure P in 2020, which promised to increase the power of investigation by IOLERO of troublesome interactions with the Sonoma County Sheriff’s officers. Because the Deputy Sheriff Association opposed some of the provisions of Measure P, negotiations have been continued by the Director of IOLERO John Alden. He has made progress and has agreements in place that speed up and strengthens the investigation power of IOLERO. Nancy announces a special Town Hall that CAC is holding on December 6, 2023, to make the public aware of IOLERO’s powers and recent activities.  See Guest Event below.


About our Guest:  Nancy Pemberton is a member of the Committee for Law Enforcement Accountability Now (CLEAN) and the Community Advisory Council (CAC) of the Independent Office of Law Enforcement Review and Outreach (IOLERO). She was recently named the vice-Chairs of CAC. She is committed to ensuring vigorous civilian oversight of law enforcement in Sonoma County.
An attorney, mitigation specialist, and investigator, Pemberton conducted capital and non-capital investigations at the trial and post-trial stages of litigation throughout the United States and internationally until her retirement in 2014.
Pemberton co-founded and serves on the board of the Institute for International Criminal Investigations, an international NGO that trains professionals in the art and science of investigating war crimes, crimes against humanity, and acts of genocide. She also volunteers with the Sonoma Chapter of ACLUNorCal, the Center for Justice & Accountability and the Akonadi Foundation.
