Mark your calendars for October 8! We are excited to support the Brotherhood of Elders Network with their upcoming Real Talk About the Town event, an Alameda County District 5 candidates forum that will educate community members about the role of county government so they can make an informed decision on Election Day. District 5 County Supervisor Candidates Nikki Fortunato Bas and John Bauters will be in attendance and the event will be moderated by Justin Phillips, Race and Inequality Columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle. Candidates will answer questions from attendees and share their views on important issues facing the community. For more information and to secure your spot click here.
