Last year LA County spent more than $150 MILLION settling cases of sheriff misconduct and negligence—while critical Care First investments for our communities get a fraction of that. It’s time to reimagine our budget priorities.

Prop. 36 taps into California voter anger over crime. But is it a terrible idea? By The California McClatchy Editorial Board "We oppose Prop. 36 because we think it is a bad idea driven by anger over reason." sacbee.com/opinion/electi…

Don't be fooled. Prop. 36 will make drug use and the overdose crisis worse. It will strip about $100 million a year from substance use treatment & reentry programs. #StopProp36 #VoteNoOnProp36 #StopPrisonScam

The Black Panther Party was founded on this day in 1966 by Bobby Seale and Huey P. Newton. “The revolution has always been in the hands of the young. The young always inherit the revolution.” - Huey P. Newton

“I have only a short time to live, only one death to die, and I will die fighting for this cause. There will be no peace in this land until slavery is done for. “ – John Brown

Listen to J Vasquez give a breakdown of the history of slavery in California in relationship to free forced labor today in California State Prisons and why we must vote YES on Prop 6 to end this in California! (PART 1) #YesOnProp6 #NoOnProp36 #ParticipatoryDefense

Prop. 6 is about finally abolishing, once and for all, the vestiges of modern slavery occurring in our state prisons. — SacBee Editorial Board endorsement of #Prop6 🔗sacbee.com/opinion/electi…

These programs work! We have ten years worth of evidence to prove it. Prop 36 would invest this money instead in mass incarceration polices with a long history of failure on their own terms and devastating impacts on communities across California.

“We know the solutions that keep our people safe. #Prop36 will not do that. Having recovery centers like this is what’s going to help our people."

California’s #Prop36 would slash MILLIONS from reentry & prevention services in favor of more prison sentences for theft and drug charges. It's part of a recent wave of so-called "tough-on-crime" policies across the country – ones that we’ve known for decades do not work.

Big brands like Walmart & Target should not get to unravel decades of progress toward ending mass incarceration – but that’s exactly what will happen if #Prop36 passes this November. More incarceration never makes communities safer. prisonpolicy.org/blog/2024/10/1…

"Prop. 36 is a wolf in sheep’s 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/pro…

In California, for decades we had been stealing survivor benefits from foster children whose parents had passed away…

This year we passed legislation to stop this immoral practice and ensure the money goes directly to the youth who it belongs to 👇🏽 cbs8.com/article/news/l…

But California isn’t the only State where this has been happening. It’s time for all states, and Congress, to step up and end this practice for good.
