The Contra Costa County Bar Association (CCCBA) Port Chicago Task Force is comprised of attorneys who are members of the CCCBA as well as non-attorney members of the community with an interest in the Port Chicago 50. The task force was formed after the CCCBA DEI Committee presented a November 2021 program about the Port Chicago Disaster and the historical injustice of the mutiny trial. Watch the presentation here. The Port Chicago Task Force was formed with two goals:
- Seek to raise awareness of this injustice in the legal and broader community and
- Advocate for the setting aside of the mutiny convictions of the Port Chicago 50.
