As we see record overdose deaths, we need new strategies. That’s why I’m authoring legislation to allow SF, LA & Oakland to implement safe consumption sites (#SB57). These sites have been used in other countries for decades. They work & we need them. latimes.com/california/sto…

We-- a broad representation of community orgs-- delivered 600+ signed petitions to Office of San Francisco Mayor London N. Breed London Breed asking that Compassionate Alternative Response Team - SF be implemented NOW AND through the SFDPH- Behavioral Health to ensure that the intent of this solution approved by the Board of Supervisors is RESPECTED!

6 years ago on April 7th, Ofcs. Mellone and Steger violated all police protocols and murdered Luis Góngora Pat. Please join us next 4/7, 10am to remember Luis and stand strong with his family in demanding justice.

Six years later, his brother José Góngora Pat still seeks justice. “I want D.A. Chesa Boudin to charge the murderers of my brother Luis,” says José. “I am asking my community to join me in my demand.” Coalition on Homelessness Compassionate Alternative Response Team - SF Chesa Boudin Dump P justice4luis.org/2022/04/07/6-y…

From the Mission to Yucatan to Antioch: We want justice for Luis! Please take a minute today to write, tweet, call Chesa Boudin (628) 652-4000 [email protected] to ask him to charge Luis Góngora Pat's killers with murder. It's his choice. Help him make the right one!

Thank you. We want justice for Luis. We want compassionate alternatives to policing homelessness.

OPINION: Recalls are supposed to be for exceptional circumstances, not for when the losing side wants a do-over. They shouldn’t be used to unseat a DA who's doing what he said he'd do — especially when the campaign's based on fear and misinformation. ow.ly/PZ8650J4rlL

EDITORIAL: The recall campaign’s case against DA Chesa Boudin tends to be light on facts but heavy on anecdote, emotion and accusations that usually prove untrue. But timing is everything, and he's become a scapegoat for rising public anxiety in The City. ow.ly/Xq4a50J7YC3

Some 50 people have been shot and killed by SFPD over the past two decades. Explore each officer-involved shooting with our interactive map. missionlocal.org/2022/06/explor…

Faced with skyrocketing use-of-force totals, Mission Police Station’s new captain blamed the SFPD's new use-of-force reporting policy, which he criticized as too expansive and cumbersome. From Eleni Balakrishnan missionlocal.org/2022/06/sf-new…

In 2020, SFPD unanimously passed a resolution to move away from a police response to homelessness and asked the BOS to sponsor a stakeholders group to design that alternative. One year later, that alternative has been developed and it is called Compassionate Alternative Response Team - SF. #implementCARTnow

We need to reallocate funding from the carceral system. And we want a very tiny portion of that reduction, $4.8 million to go to fund the Compassionate Alternative Response Team (CART) through DPH.  Carter Flanigan Board of Supervisors

CART is a practical realistic solution to moving away from police response. Reallocate funds from the police budget to reinvest in the community! #CARTSF Compassionate Alternative Response Team - SF Board of Supervisors

Recalling Chesa Boudin was just the first step of the right’s plan to expand police power in our city. On Monday, a proposal to MASSIVELY EXPAND police surveillance is before Connie Chan 陳詩敏, @AaronPeskin, and Rafael Mandelman at the Rules Committee. Here’s a thread. 👇

OPINION: Mayor Breed paid lip service to criminal justice reform, saying Brooke Jenkins understands "the need for compassion." But it's hard to see the promotion of someone who fought to levy cruel punishment on a severely ill man as proof of those ideals. ow.ly/1srt50JRQ7m

Explicable response from Dean Preston (deanpreston.bsky.social) to the inexplicable retrograde vision on policing supported by London Breed ... It's disgusting. Justice for Luis Góngora Pat!

"Diaz lost his job as a sous-chef in March of 2020. Within a few weeks, he’d moved into the RV with his wife and kids, who are 17 and 12 ... They’re among the growing ranks of Latinos living on San Francisco’s streets, or in RVs, cars or city shelters." kqed.org/news/11929283/…
