Today, Mayor Kevin Faulconer announced his choice of Assistant Chief David Nisleit as the City of San Diego’s next Chief of Police. The Coalition for Police Accountability and Transparency (CPAT), of which Alliance San Diego is a part, released the following statement:

This was a tough year. No doubt about it. But the community grew stronger, more united, and more committed to building a city, county and a country where everyone can achieve their full potential. At every turn, Alliance San Diego was there, standing with community members and providing the tools to work in coalition, communicate messages, develop leadership, and engage more effectively in the civic process. The year may have ended, but our fight continues.

We are thrilled to announce that civil rights leader and social justice trailblazer, Eva Paterson, will be the keynote speaker for this year’s 30th All Peoples Celebration!

The All Peoples Celebration is one of San Diego’s pre-eminent social justice gatherings and honors the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.  More than 1,000 civic leaders, business leaders, faith leaders, community organizers, artists, and students will stand together for this inspiring program that includes our keynote speaker, Eva Paterson. The event will take place on Monday morning, January 15, 2018, at the Balboa Activity Center in Balboa Park.

Today the House Rules Committee blocked the DREAM Act from getting a vote in Congress.
