Dear Community Members,
Please be advised that the NAMI CC (National Alliance on Mental Illness, Contra Costa) office will be closed on Thursday, June 26th to support and advocate for the Arboleda and Wilson families.
We ask that you join us tomorrow at 8:00 AM for the hearing at 8:30 AM in Dept. 10 (1st floor) of the Martinez Courthouse, located at 725 Court St, Martinez, CA 94553. There is free parking available.
For some context and background, please read the following article: kqed.org/news/12033616/former-contra-costa-deputy-released-early-after-fatal-2018-shooting-sparking-outrage
NAMI CC plans to gather in community and in support of the Arboleda and Wilson families before and after the hearing. We are reaching out to the press and are unsure of the level of news coverage, but we will have posters and will prepare to speak on this issue and the need to separate the sheriff-coroner. Please feel free to spread the word to volunteers, interns, and community members and email me with any questions or concerns.
If you have any concerns on June 26th, please do not hesitate to call us at (925) 942-0767. Though the office will be closed during the morning, we will resume operations on Thursday, June 26th as usual.
Thank you for your understanding and support.
Sincerely,
The NAMI CC Team
