Jose Alfaro details his trafficking situation and the abuse he experienced, his feelings of self-blame, and how he contacted the National Human Trafficking Hotline to get support with testifying against his trafficker. Watch his story: youtube.com/watch?v=NJdFYYyw…

We are less than a week away from either making history and amending our state constitution, or continuing the ugly legacy of slavery in CA. CURYJ & our allies have been grinding hard for the Yes On Prop 6 campaign because there is no excuse for slavery!

Let's be clear, Prop 6 will NOT stop work inside prisons.
It will ensure they are doing the RIGHT work that leads to becoming productive tax paying members of society.
If you truly want to fix the issues we're all dealing with, then support #Prop6!

Trafficking #survivors depend on T visas to rebuild their lives. But @USCIS is failing to adjudicate T visa applications quickly. In recent months, the processing time for T visa applications has increased to 17.5 months from an already dismal 16 months. egov.uscis.gov/processing-ti…

Data for 3rd Qtr FY2024 show @USCIS has approved 2,660 T Visas for trafficking survivors. That is closer to the 5,000 cap, but not close enough. USCIS should adjudicate the backlog of applications and approve 5,000 T visas for FY2024. #SurvivorsCannotWait uscis.gov/tools/reports-and-…

I was able to see this first-hand when touring a shelter for survivors of human trafficking last week. Run by the Coalition to Abolish Slavery and Trafficking @CASTLA.

Many human trafficking survivors are left with criminal records for crimes they were forced to commit. If enacted, TSRA would provide a pathway for criminalized survivors of trafficking to clear their federal criminal records. Learn how YOU can help: polarisproject.org/TSRA

Do you know how to recognize human trafficking? Traffickers rarely target random victims by snatching them off the street. The reality is that many victims are trafficked by people they knew, loved, & trusted, including romantic partners & family members polarisproject.org/love-and-…

@CASTLA hey, you are featured today! 👋 xitter.cf/GoodToday/status/18006…
Since 2000, the world has steadily reduced child labor.
However, recent conflicts and crises have pushed more families into poverty.
Today, 160 million children are engaged in child labor worldwide.
Let's help change this! 👇

Despite great strides for equality around the world, LGBTQI+ persons in many countries continue to face grave danger. Protecting the spirit of #Pride and promoting respect for the human rights of LGBTQI+ persons is central to the work we do.

Asm @BuffyWicks’ #AB1893 passed the Assembly!
It now heads to the Senate.
I’m proud to sponsor this legislation to encourage local governments to update their housing plans and unlock additional housing development opportunities in cities and counties that fail to do so.
I’m sponsoring Asm @BuffyWicks’ #AB1893, critical legislation to update CA’s builder’s remedy and allow more housing for middle class and low-income families to be built, faster.
CA is facing a housing crisis of epic proportions.

By failing to include $200M to maintain funding for victims’ services programs @GavinNewsom's #MayRevise allows steep cuts to core services for victims of violence throughout California.
