โWeโre making a choice. We either pay for survivor services, victim services, substance abuse treatment, care and opportunity, or we funnel people through the criminal legal system." โIsaac G. Bryan #NoOnProp36 More from Nicole Nixon in The Sacramento Bee โคต๏ธ sacbee.com/news/politics-โฆ
Read our op-ed by Santa Clara Public Defender, SV NAACP, & De-Bug: "Prop 36 is falsely guised as an attempt to reduce crime, homelessness and substance use. In reality, the proposition will only exacerbate the issues it claims to address." #StopProp36 sanjosespotlight.com/op-ed-propositโฆ

AB 2020 is a commonsense, smart solution that advances the health, safety, and well-being of survivors of human trafficking. Thank you Assemblymember Mia Bonta for your unwavering commitment to justice and safety for survivors. #SmartSolutions
Last week, California Governor announced $167 million in funding from Prop 47 savings will go to 27 orgs to provide mental health services, substance use disorder treatment, and diversion programs. If Prop 36 passes, this funding will be slashed and communities will suffer. #StopProp36
Prop 36 does not provide a single penny for treatment; it provides zero funding for housing. All it does is send more low-income people of color to prison. It criminalizes poverty and it is not the solution. Please read this oped by Nancy Skinner & me. sacbee.com/opinion/op-ed/โฆ
"Prop. 36 is a wolf in sheepโs clothing. It suggests people should receive treatment at the same time it pulls the funding away from treatment to spend it on prisons." Read our new op-ed from Christine.eth and then vote NO on Prop 36. #StopProp36 ocregister.com/2024/10/16/proโฆ
