The Davis Vanguard Launches GoFundMe Fundraising Expansion Campaign

Asks communities assistance in monitoring Davis, Yolo, California county courts.



    LOS ANGELES, CA, September 27, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Davis Vanguard, a local Judicial Watchdog online magazine covering Davis and Yolo Counties, has launched a GofundMe page in an effort to increase its effectiveness and reach as the coverage area expands to Sacramento and the Statehouse.

The People's Vanguard is a community-based watchdog and news reporting organization covering the city of Davis, Yolo County Courts, and provides the Davis Community with incisive in-depth coverage of local government on a wide variety of issues.

Since 2006, The Vanguard has provided Davis and Yolo County with some of the best groundbreaking news coverage on local government and policy issues affecting our city, our schools, the county, and the Sacramento Region.

Court Watch, a judicial watchdog section of the Vanguard, actively reports on wrongdoing in the courtroom with dedicated court reporters. The goal of our funding campaign is to expand our reach and presence.

To monitor and report on wrongdoing in the courtroom through a court watch program, to expose police and prosecutorial misconduct, to bring transparency and accountability to the court system, to prevent wrongful convictions BEFORE THEY HAPPEN, expand Court Watch in Yolo County, to launch Court Watch in Sacramento and San Francisco.

The answer to this is a Court Watch Program. Starting in 2010, in Yolo County, the Vanguard Court Watch has sent college and other interns into the courthouse to monitor cases and hearings. They enter data into monitor forms and write articles that posted on the Vanguard website.

The truth is Yolo County suffers an imbalanced prosecutorial system. The county is middle-tier in terms of crime rate and yet third in the state in per capita felony convictions prison sentences and tops in the state in per capita felony trials.
