Justice Council Petition Signing This Sunday: Reinstate Medi-Cal for People Being Released from County Jail. The Justice Council is circulating a petition with other communities of faith. The petition asks the Board of Supervisors to require the sheriff’s department to re-instate Medical-Cal for people leaving the county jail. Medi-Cal is taken away when someone is incarcerated, and the Alameda County Sheriff does not reinstate benefits before a person’s release. This means people are without medication, and cannot go to medical and re-entry program appointments. Look for the petition at the Justice Council table this Sunday. Questions? Contact Micky.
