Hundreds of protesters marched down #CastroValley Boulevard, gathered at Adobe Park for a #BlackLivesMatter rally.

@Nate_Miley welcomed crowd, said that police should be “guardians,” not “warriors.” He spoke with @ACSOSheriffs & @NancyOMalleyDA1 about reforms in Alameda County.

[Alameda Health System @AlamedaHealth]

AHS residents & staff came together to express & reaffirm our commitment to taking meaningful & ongoing action, individually & as a residency program to fight structural racism which is a root cause of the public health crises & senseless acts of violence we are experiencing.

Friendly reminder that about six million Californians in unincorporated areas (63,000 in Castro Valley) do not benefit from a city to advocate for communities’ interest. Municipal investments and services will likely be deprioritized by counties, like we saw in Great Recession.

This downturn is at once familiar — forcing elected leaders to cut, furlough and delay — and entirely new. https://t.co/3CfdfNMrp6 via @FromBenC @calmatters

It's official. Californians are scheduled to vote in November on a measure that would end the state's inheritance property tax break for investment homes — but only as a part of plan to increase Prop. 13 property tax benefits for older homeowners. It's sponsored by @CAREALTORS

@Redteapot64 @Dare2BWell Well, we know of at least 21 cases at the nursing home next to Eden Hospital. @Dare2BWell can clarify, but depending on the residency of staff, their cases may be attributed to a different community: https://t.co/125fxO30Xj

Per Alameda County Public Health (@Dare2BWell), as of April 19, there were 67 #COVID19 cases in Castro Valley. Data reported out at tonight’s unincorporated services committee meeting.

@StudioH @PetesHardware Yes! Helping delivering meals would be very much appreciated. Also reaching out to potential restaurant/caterers, identifying potential future food deliveries. We’re trying to nail down some deliveries for the week of April 27. We’ll email.

[Castro Valley Matters @CeeVeeMatters]

This super cute puppy (spotted at @PetesHardware this morning) wants YOU to help #FeedEden, our effort to raise funds for #CastroValley restaurants & food entrepreneurs to deliver meals & snacks to our frontline healthcare workers at Eden Medical Center. https://t.co/CLmkDj2eWO

@CSAC_Counties @RepCarbajal @RepBarragan @JackieSpeier @RepGilCisneros @RepHarley @gracenapolitano @RepBera @RepHuffman @RepBarbaraLee @RepJudyChu Counties also have municipal responsibilities for their unincorporated communities. As @CSAC_Counties advocates for funding for California’s counties, please remember that unincorporated communities are suffering, need assistance with small businesses, economic development.
