The Community for Law Enforcement Accountability Now (CLEAN) of Sonoma (CA) County invites you to join us in conjunction with the Freedom Festival for a conversation about the history of law enforcement in America.

Understanding Pretextual Stops: Exploring California Senate Bill 50

This webinar will address the harms of pretextual traffic stops and what lawmakers can do to protect drivers and their communities.

The Sonoma Committee for Law Enforcement Accountability Now (CLEAN) cordially invites you to join us for a comprehensive exploration of pretextual stops by law enforcement officers.
