Help Us Advocate for Police Accountability

In accordance with approved Calif Assembly Bill 1185, SURJ Marin is actively working to push for a Citizen Oversight Board of the Marin Sheriff’s Dept. This is a chapter-wide campaign, and we are encouraging everyone involved with SURJ Marin to participate in our many activities designed to achieve this goal.
