Dear Alameda County District 3 Community,
March marks the start of Women’s History Month. Women have played an important role in shaping Alameda County’s leadership and progress. While the Alameda County Board of Supervisors held its first meeting in 1855, it was not until 1989 that Mary V. King became the first woman and the first African American woman elected to the Board. Her historic leadership helped pave the way for future generations of women in public service.
Today, women continue to lead across Alameda County government. Three of the five members of the Board of Supervisors are women, including Supervisors Elisa Márquez, Nikki Fortunato Bas, and myself. Across County departments, women have also taken on key leadership roles. Susan S. Muranishi has served as County Administrator since 1995 and was the first woman and the first Asian American woman in California to be appointed to the position. Her leadership has helped guide major County initiatives and services that support our communities.
Throughout Women’s History Month, we also take time to celebrate the many women whose contributions have strengthened Alameda County. Our office will host a Women’s History Month Brunch, and the Alameda County Women’s Hall of Fame will welcome a new cohort of honorees while recognizing the recipients of the Mary V. King and Wilma Chan Youth Scholarships.
We stand on the shoulders of remarkable women who helped shape Alameda County, and their legacy continues to inspire the work ahead as we build a stronger future for everyone.

So far this March, our staff joined Oakland’s Fans Fest and tabled at the event to connect with residents and share information about County programs and services. The celebration brought together sports fans, local vendors, music, and family friendly activities, creating a lively atmosphere for people from across the city to gather and celebrate Oakland’s teams. It was a great opportunity to meet community members, share resources, and celebrate the pride and spirit that make Oakland such a special place.
Our staff also tabled at the Oakland Spanish Seventh-day Adventist Church community block party, where families and neighbors came together for a day of connection and community resources. The event featured traditional foods from different cultures, free health services, and information about City of Oakland programs and other services available to residents. With fun activities for kids and beautiful weather throughout the day, the block party created a welcoming space for families to connect, learn about available resources, and enjoy time together.

If you or someone you know needs immigration or legal help please familiarize yourself with the Alameda County Immigration Legal & Education Partnership (ACILEP) website and hotline, which provide critical information about your rights, with flyers available in English, Spanish (Español), Chinese (中文), Tagalog, and Vietnamese (Tiếng Việt). Please visit their website for details.
Message from the Alameda County Immigration Legal and Education Partnership (ACILEP):
Alameda County Immigration Legal and Education Partnership (ACILEP) is aware of reported plans to deploy federal agents to the San Francisco Bay Area. Our regional rapid response networks are prepared to respond from a place of power, not panic.
Over the past year, we have seen how these operations destabilize neighborhoods, provoke conflict, and place everyone in harm’s way. In these moments, our focus must remain on solidarity, community safety, due process, non-violent resistance, and a refusal to accept authoritarian violence.
These raids harm far more than immigrant communities, they endanger everyone’s constitutional rights and undermine the safety, trust, and economic health of our region. As a community, we must stand together.
For verified updates, follow ACILEP on social media. Please avoid sharing unverified reports, instead, call your local rapid response hotline to confirm or report any ICE activity. The ACILEP hotline - (510) 241-4011 - will remain active and responding throughout the weekend.
If you’re concerned about your rights or safety, visit acilep.org for legal information and resources. The ACLU also provides guidance on What to Do When Encountering Questions from Law Enforcement.
We know this is an uncertain and stressful time. This is a moment for power, not panic. Our focus is on being informed and prepared, not afraid.
If you or someone you know might be impacted, here are five ways to protect yourself and your loved ones right now:
-
Know Your Rights
- You have the right to remain silent.
- You do not have to open the door unless officers present a warrant signed by a judge.
- You have the right to speak to a lawyer.
-
Know Your Rapid Response Hotline Number
- For Alameda County, memorize the ACILEP hotline: (510) 241-4011.
- ACILEP will be operating and monitoring calls throughout the weekend.
- Other Rapid Response Networks in the Bay Area:
- Contra Costa County: (925) 900-5151
- San Francisco: (415) 200-1548
- San Mateo County: (203) 666-4472
- Santa Clara County: (408) 290-1144
- Be prepared to share as many details and photos as possible (Size/strength of operation, Location, Uniform, Time/Date, & Equipment/weapons seen).
-
Create a Safety Plan
- Identify who can care for children, pets, or responsibilities if needed. Here is a guide you can use.
- Memorize important phone numbers and your A#.
- Share key information with trusted loved ones.
-
Gather Important Documents
- Keep passports, IDs, medical records, and immigration documents in a safe place.
- Make copies and, if you have an attorney, carry a signed G-28 form.
-
Minimize Risk
- Follow updates from trusted community organizations.
- Use a PIN passcode on your phone and consider disabling fingerprint or facial recognition.
- Weigh your individual risk during daily activities. Remember that the supreme court has unfortunately recently opened the door for ICE to use racial profiling.
ACILEP stands with you — today and every day.
We are part of a strong, united community that protects one another. Together, we will continue to defend our rights, our families, and our dignity.
Stay informed. Stay ready. Stay in community.
We are with you. Siempre juntos.

Congratulations to Olympic gold medalist Alysa Liu, Grammy Award winner Kehlani, and Oscar winner Ryan Coogler on their remarkable achievements. As proud Oakland natives, each of them represents the creativity, resilience, and excellence that define our community.
From the global stage of the Olympics to the heights of the music and film industries, their success highlights the incredible talent rooted right here in Oakland. We are proud to celebrate their accomplishments and the inspiration they provide to the next generation of artists, athletes, and leaders across our city.
Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee and Councilmember Unger have introduced a new ordinance aimed at combating illegal dumping by increasing fines and strengthening enforcement. The proposal would raise dumping penalties to $1,500 for a first offense, $2,500 for a second, and $5,000 for a third, and make it an offense to transport waste in a vehicle without a license plate.
The ordinance also allows the City to issue citations more quickly, hold vehicle owners accountable if their vehicles are used for dumping, and offer community service as an alternative to fines. The measure includes a focus on equity by tracking enforcement outcomes in priority neighborhoods and continuing public education about legal disposal options such as Oakland’s free bulky waste pickup and drop-off services.
