Needs
The Vanguard Court Watch program is dedicated to reporting and monitoring court cases. This program has allowed interns the opportunity to publish articles, watch live court cases, and learn about the criminal justice system and local reporting.
The Davis Vanguard currently hosts a Court Watch Program in 3 branches: Yolo County, Sacramento County, and San Francisco County. Our funding ranges from office space and supplies to website expenses. Your contributions will help in keeping the court proceedings transparent and accountable.
We expanded our Court Watch Program to San Francisco in June 2019 and are considering expanding our program further into other California counties, such as Los Angeles.
In addition to our Court Watch Program, our organization needs funds in order to host fundraiser events relating to criminal justice reform. Among the topics we've held events, we've addressed the need to reform the prosecution system and immigration. During these events, we invite guest speakers from all across the country.
The Davis Vanguard at UC Davis is a student-run online news publication presenting campus news, city news, social justice issues, and student opinions. Students interested in writing for the Davis Vanguard at UCD will have the opportunity to develop a strong journalistic portfolio, gain experience with community outreach, training with an experienced Sacramento journalist, and earn academic credit.
Any donations are appreciated in supporting our organization.
