As the call to action regarding police brutality against African Americans continues throughout the nation, Black elected officials in Riverside County are working to dismantle racial injustice.

“In times of a national or regional crisis Black Elected officials have found it necessary to speak as one voice.

To help guide conversation, actions and public policy,” said Corey Jackson member of Riverside Board of Education.

The group will be known as the Alliance of Black Elected Officials (ABEO) whose mission is to shift towards justice in our government and public agencies.

The primary issues the agency will begin to tackle is systematic oppression, the unequal treatment from law enforcement and to fund disempowered Black communities in Riverside County.
