Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen announced $60,000 in grants, benefiting organizations like Poco Way Neighborhood Association and African American Community Service Agency, to support disadvantaged children of color.
The grants, sourced from the Asset Forfeiture Fund, aim to combat harm caused by criminal enterprises, offering programs like civic leadership training for Vietnamese youth and college tours for Overfelt High School students.
Rosen emphasized the importance of investing in young people, highlighting diversity as a superpower and declaring that they are the community's heroes. The grants aim to promote equity and address racial discrimination in the criminal justice system.
The grants are part of Rosen's broader social justice reforms, initiated in response to George Floyd's murder, with a focus on implementing measures like the Racial Justice Grant Program to combat racial discrimination.
