Active Trans has worked with the 10th district CAPS office to coordinate a training on 03/26 at 6:30pm for individuals interested in becoming CAPS courtroom advocates to appear at the hearings related to the Hector Avalos fatal DUI crash from back in December.

Courtroom advocates are a program that falls under CAPS and serve to bear witness to the legal proceedings relating to a case the community takes special interest in. They also serve as moral support for families and victims who must appear in court and to provide a visible reminder to the justice system that the public has a vested interest at stake in the case.Your name and contact info will be entered and become part of the court record as an advocate whenever you attend a hearing in this capacity.

If you are interested in becoming trained as an advocate for this case or know someone who is please share and rsvp to jason@activetrans.org.
