Applicants are being sought for two open seats on the member Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council, the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors has announced.
The council “is a multi-agency advisory body charged with creating and maintaining the county’s comprehensive Juvenile Probation Consolidated Annual Plan and coordinating county-based juvenile delinquency prevention initiatives.”
The annual plan is used in assessing existing practices and resources, identifying system needs and gaps, and prioritizing and recommending solutions to improve services for the county’s juvenile justice population.
The county is seeking two members of community-based organizations to serve two-year terms on the council.
The final day to submit an application is Aug. 16.
Applicants will be interviewed by supervisors John Gioia and Federal Glover, and their nominations will then be forwarded to the full Board of Supervisors.
“We value diversity, inclusion and racial equity in Contra Costa County, and we welcome interest from representatives of community based organizations across our county who want to serve the community in the cause
of juvenile justice and delinquency prevention,” Gioia said in a news release.
Applications can be obtained by calling (925) 335-1900, or online at http://www.contracosta.ca.gov/3418/.
Applications should be returned to the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors, Room 106, County Administration Building, 651 Pine Street, Martinez, CA 94553, or emailed to ClerkoftheBoard@cob.cccounty.us.

Whatever the lofty intent is, I always read these to mean no white guys need apply.
Yep. Same goes for Caucasian women who have (or had) a white collar profession..
Not at all – it just won’t be like most of American history where white guys were all there were running the show.
But I realize to some, that feels like discrimination.
Yep, that’s how I read it, too. It’s ironically discriminatory in its “non-discrimination”. It doesn’t always have to be about something nefarious like the notion of “white privilege”. A very simple reason why there are many Caucasian people in whatever aspect of government and business is that there are simply more of them in the population.
Be that as it may, it does make sense to have a “diverse” council, in that juveniles are much more likely to listen to (and have less resentment towards) people that look like them. So, to have representatives of all types of people on the board then helps reduce the perception among non-white juveniles that white people are bullying or ganging up on them within the legal system.
However, to call out in a press release that they ‘value diversity, etc.’ is basically just there to give a metaphorical middle finger to the Caucasians. They wouldn’t have had a shortage of applications from all groups of people whether or not that language was included.
Is this a volunteer position or is there some compensation?
In other words….. they are looking for somebody who won’t rock their bleeding heart restorative justice boat.
My thoughts exactly…
I couldn’t serve on this Council because I believe in accountability and responsibility.
No whites need apply, this is 2019.
No whites need apply
Affirmative Action is alive and well my friends. I dealt with it for years while testing for Fire Departments and dealt with it again after being hired when taking promotional exams. Maybe the Court decrees have gone away but not the intent. I think their intent is pretty obvious after reading the statement. Let’s see how it plays out.
“People of white” should apply and start suing if discriminated against.
Gioia and Glover were the two supervisors who pushed for the appointment of our plagiarizing DA. They are criminal justice nanby pambys. We recall Glover, as a supervisor, busted for a DUI.
The simplest thing would be to combine the Public Defender and DA into one “restorative justice “entity. Good Deputy DAs are bailing out like crazy .
If the Deputy DAs are bailing, it means that leftists will fill the void. Contra Costa County needs to wake up.
This should be front page news.
The anti white narrative is everywhere. Tv, news, movies, music, academics (college will warp you’re children these days). Instead they promote poc fetishes and degenerate behavior and try to normalize this and other taboo disgusting behavior
I bet my recommendation that we feed ALL violent teenage felons to the great whites at the Faralons would keep me off the council.
