Please tell us how your qualifications and participation will relate to the requested board and/or commission's mission.
Dear all:
I am seeking to be reappointed as a commissioner on the SSOC. I have had the privilege of serving as the D4 representative on the SSOC since April of 2022 and have loved every moment of it.
Following Commissioner Farmer’s lead, I was part of the team that developed a comprehensive strategic plan for the SSOC, the first one ever. Along with commissioner farmer, I was also able to present at a number of community meetings about how the SSOC can better engage with, learn from and work with the community to fulfill its mission. I look forward to continuing this work in the new year.
As to my
background, I am an attorney, policy analyst and restorative justice circle keeper committed to realizing a community-led vision for justice, healing and true community safety. Most of my work over the last ten years relates directly to the mission of the SSOC to improve public safety in Oakland. While serving as a Litigation Fellow at the ACLU of Northern California, I drafted a comprehensive strategy for police reform in the Bay Area which included best practices from around the country.
Simultaneously, I worked to
challenge excessive and racially discriminatory practices, like charging youth as adults and imposing life without parole sentences on young people. Later at Equal Justice Society, my work focused on disrupting the school-to-prison pipeline and drafting legislation that made implicit bias training a requirement for all attorneys and judges in the state. Through both litigation and policy advocacy, I tried to change laws that perpetuated, instead of ending, the cycle of trauma leading to violence, leading to more trauma and more violence, that we seem to be so deeply caught in.
In Restorative Justice (RJ), I found a practice that
addressed some of the root causes of violence in our society—trauma and lack of resources. I saw how RJ processes give people the tools and support necessary to address their material needs while also helping them grow and come to a place of self- accountability. I got to experience firsthand the kind of “community-focused violence intervention and prevention strategies” that 40% of Measure Z funding is allocated for. In collaboration with BOSS, Eastside Arts Alliance and Just Cities, I had the opportunity to hold reentry circles and create a space for folks to learn, heal and become the leaders that our communities need. MH First, started by APTP, showed me what a public health approach to mental crises looks like. RJOY showed me what it takes to hold healing circles in juvenile hall and juvenile camp right here in Alameda County.
Through all of these experiences, I heard bits and pieces of what community members most impacted by violence want—money for funeral expenses, a safe way for their kids to go to school, job opportunities, healing spaces that are culturally relevant, art, dancing, music, safe spaces to hang out during the pandemic. All of these ideas became part of a vision for a Restorative and Transformative Justice (RJTJ) infrastructure that lied at the heart of the policy recommendations that I and other members of the Alternatives Advisory Board presented to the Oakland City Council through the Reimagining Public Safety process. As a member of the Alternatives Advisory Board, I worked with survivors, system-impacted folks and RJ circle keepers to put together a comprehensive slate of recommendations that included building a RJTJ web of support in Oakland, complete with RJ Centers, healing spaces, more easily accessible health, mental health, work, housing and education opportunities.
Nine months after these recommendations were adopted and the Department of Violence Prevention received additional funding, I am excited to see how we can collectively continue to realize the vision reflected in these recommendations.
In addition to understanding the issues that the SSOC was created to address, I have experience working with the types of agencies that come before the Commission. In my current role as an Assistant District Attorney in the Restorative Justice Unit of the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office, I liaise often with law enforcement personnel, victim advocates, court staff and other city staff (note that I am applying entirely in my personal capacity). To me, expanding access to restorative justice is only possible when we work collaboratively, have difficult conversations and choose to move forward together.
I am thrilled by this opportunity to continue serve my community as a Commissioner on the SSOC. Please do not hesitate to reach out of you have additional questions.
With
gratitude,
Yoana Tchoukleva
