Martinez, CA – The Contra Costa County TRUTH Act Community Forum to discuss civil immigration enforcement activities is scheduled for 9:30 a.m., Tuesday, July 22, during the regular Board of Supervisors meeting.

This forum is one way we show that every resident matters, and that Contra Costa County is committed to accountability and inclusion.”
