Honored to join w/ Mike McGuire Aisha Wahab 愛莎華 Senator Richard Roth Diana Becton District Attorney & bipartisan group of #Caleg senators this morning in the Capitol to announce the Working Together for a Safer California pkg of bills to address the fentanyl crisis and reduce retail theft.



Honored to join w/ Smart Justice California & Ella Baker Center at the Capitol this morning to talk about my 2 #caleg bills — #SB899 & #SB1144 included in the #SmartSolutions pkg of solutions to address some of CA’s most pressing public safety issues.


We are excited to work with Nancy Skinner and @LolaForSenate to advance #smartSolutions to our public safety needs. Old failed strategies are false promises that will not bring relief. Let’s build better responses and PREVENT crime rather than just react to it.


On Thursday, join us for a special conversation with Prosecutors Alliance on the important role of attorneys general in prosecuting police misconduct. Our panel of esteemed guests will share strategies for AGs, local prosecutors, and advocates alike to advance accountability & justice.
