Please join in solidarity with the family of David Pelaez Chavez on the anniversary of his death as they continue their calls for justice. On July 29, 2022, Sheriff Deputy Michael Dietrick shot and killed immigrant worker David Pelaez Chavez. One full year has passed, and David’s family is still waiting on answers from the County. "It's a horrible feeling because we want justice and we're waiting for justice and to this day there hasn't been any," – José Pelaez, brother of David A badge is not a license to kill. Sonoma County Sheriff Deputy Dietrick has shot and killed two men experiencing mental health crises — David Pelaez Chavez and Joseph Louis Melvin. And he's already back on the job. Now, members of our community and David’s family are calling on DA Carla Rodriguez to hold Deputy Michael Dietrick accountable by prosecuting him for the unjust killing of David Pelaez Chavez. On the one-year mark of David’s killing, NBOP’s Police Accountability Task Forceand Religious Leaders Caucus will organize a vigil with David’s family to honor David’s memory and ensure his story is not forgotten. You can read a comprehensive feature in the Press Democrat about the case to date, and hear from José in his own words about how frustrating – and painful – this wait for justice has been for David's family. Please email me to let us know you can make it: [email protected]. Lina Blanco Communications and Cultural Strategist [email protected]
