About this event
On Thursday, May 6th, at 4:00 p.m., the League of Women Voters of Piedmont will welcome Alameda County District Attorney, Nancy O’Malley. She will discuss her important work with abused and homeless women, helping them move beyond trauma into a positive future.
DA O’Malley will address the many challenges COVID-19 has posed. She will also explain the ways in which the current lack of civility in politics is impeding the pace and scale of progress for women who suffer from violence. For example, passage of the Violence Against Women Act was held up due to politics, and funding for the Victims Crime Act, which provides resources to states for victims of crime, was also reduced.
Nancy O’Malley is a nationally recognized expert in issues involving violence against women, violence against persons with disabilities, and interpersonal violence including sexual assault, domestic violence, elder abuse, child abuse, stalking, and human exploitation and trafficking. She serves in an office with a national reputation for excellence dating back to former District Attorney and United States Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren. DA O’Malley carries out this proud legacy as the first woman to serve as Alameda County’s elected District Attorney, and as a leader known throughout California and the country for her innovation and vision.
The event is free and open to all community members. Register above to receive an email with the Zoom link or watch the livestream on the LWVP YouTube Channel.
