📣Making powerful public comment can be daunting but is vital for the Board of Supervisors to hear our demands for a #CareFirstBudget.

Time for a fact check on SB 94.
✅A small population of the most elderly inmates are eligible
✅Their recidivism rate is 0%
✅Bill doesn’t automatically let people out of prison. It’s judicial review to consider those who have fully rehabilitated
✅Saves 100s of millions tax 💵

The same person who wants to pardon a white man convicted of murdering a Black Lives Matter protestor also thinks it's a bad idea to let CA judges take a second look at extreme sentences mainly served by people of color?
This is why we need #SB94: justice is NOT meted fairly.

Gov. Abbott trying to look tough after attempting to pardon a man convicted of killing a Black Lives Matter protestor.
My SB 94 gives a small population of elderly people a chance to prove to a judge that they are fully rehabilitated after serving at least 2 decades in prison.
Outrageous.
California is proposing a law to release death row inmates from prison — HIGHLY dangerous criminals!
This will never happen in Texas.
Working with the Texas legislature, we will keep dangerous criminals behind bars.

Racism doesn’t have a checklist. It’s nuanced and deserves a look at the full context of someone’s experience.
Support the California Racial Justice for All Act!
#ConfrontRacism #RJA4All #AB256
ALT Image reads: RJA claim challenged a judge’s statement in court that people cannot be racist “if they have Black friends”. Pass AB 256 (Kalra) - Racial Justice Act for All Background shows a statue of lady liberty, blindfolded and holding scales.

Reminder: Tomorrow, the L.A. County Board of Supervisors will vote on creating a process to hold the sheriff accountable to the people.
Take action and send a message to your supervisor in support: aclusocal.co/3RjsWlg
Do your part and tell your county supervisor that you support holding the sheriff accountable to the people and the law, and that they should pass Agenda Item 12 on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, crime is near historic lows in Los Angeles and California generally.
DA Accountability Coalition retweeted
Don’t talk to me about “crime” if you’re analysis does not also include an intersectional look at the cost of rent, stagnant wages, and the communities most impacted economically by both the pandemic and discrimination.
Struggle and desperation are up.

In last night’s drive-in documentary screening of #CrimeAfterCrime, we heard from folk with lived experience inside our state prison system and those most affected by the Los Angeles DA’s policies and decisions, including friends and families with loved ones who are incarcerated.

We need more pathways for people to heal and come home from prison, particularly those serving lengthy sentences. District Attorneys can and must play a role in this movement. Learn more by watching #CrimeAfterCrime, and follow @ACLU_SoCal @LA_DAAC @SmartJusticeCA & @UnCommLaw.
