Last week, CURB took to the state capitol urging the #CALeg to commit to closing at least 5 more prisons & cutting CDCr's $14.6 billion budget.

🤔While lawmakers consider cutting & delaying millions from social services, climate change responses, housing & more to lessen CA's…

ACTION ALERT 📣📣📣SB 1011 would make large swaths of CA off-limits to unhoused neighbors, thusly criminalizing homelessness. Take action TODAY on social media channels and voice your opposition to this cruel & unjust legislation. #NoonSB1011

Pushing unhoused people out of sight doesn’t make homelessness go away. To end homelessness, we need to address the root problem: lack of affordable housing.

That's why orgs across California are asking Aisha Wahab 愛莎華 to say #NOonSB1011

We’ve done this before, and it hasn’t worked. Hear from folks who have experienced criminalization and urge your legislators to vote #NOonSB1011 youtube.com/playlist?app=d…

We need to move forward on homelessness - and passing SB 1011 would only move California backwards. The Senate Public Safety Committee must vote NO on SB 1011 Aisha Wahab 愛莎華 Steven Bradford Senator Scott Wiener Nancy Skinner #NOonSB1011

Housing + services = what ends homelessness.

But SB 1011 would push California in the opposite direction, and make homelessness worse. That’s why over 100 organizations are urging #NOonSB1011 bit.ly/3VX3qr6

'CA's death penalty violates the state constitution’s equal protection guarantees because courts & prosecutors apply it in a racially-biased way'

It's clear: CA’s #deathpenalty is #BiasedBeyondRepair

#ClosePrisonsSaveBillions

In California we still spend $134,000 a year per person to incarcerate people…

but for some reason we can’t ever find the money to help people pay the rent, pay for school, pay for childcare, or afford healthcare.

We have to change this.
