Part of the reason why last week’s insurrection at the US Capitol happened is because law enforcement supports and protects white supremacy. We’re not surprised to find out @sacsheriff had a presence there. We told y’all.

Reports of how terrible the conditions are and how it is impossible to social distance. People inside are getting really sick. And most of them have not had a trial and will not for a very long time. Releasing people pretrial does not increase crime rates. Let our people go home.

Sacramento County has an outbreak of COVID-19 in its jails. This is a predictable consequence of continuing to arrest and incarcerate people during a deadly pandemic, in a jail with substandard conditions and a history of abuse. Community advocates are receiving repeated...

Your silence is not amusing, it is dangerous to the people you serve. @Mayor_Steinberg @SacPolice @TheCityofSac

[Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights SF @lccrsf]

It has been 3 weeks since we sent a demand letter w/ 20+ community orgs & @ACLU_NorCal calling to change @SacPolice’s dangerous & unconstitutional crowd control policies.

@Mayor_Steinberg, @Chief_Hahn & City Manager Howard Chen: Why haven’t you responded?

Governor @GavinNewsom just signed #AB1869 #FamilesoverFees
For decades, #California has allowed court ordered fees to take away needed resources from families and communities of color, deepening the wounds of systemic racism in our criminal justice system. 1/2

.@SacPolice @Mayor_Steinberg public demonstrations do not inherently require police response

[Black Justice Sacramento @BlackJusticeSac]

If it is true that, as Police Chief Hahn has stated: the police want to “partner with communities of color, not disparage them,” and as Mayor Darrell Steinberg has proffered: the City would like to “lead change that is essential for real justice and for healing,” then...

“The City must overhaul its practices and policies that suppress free speech and target people who are protesting persistent police violence against Black people.”

2000+ people have completed the https://t.co/73a4ZbS0ff survey!

We'll be sharing preliminary results at the Sacramento County Board of Supervisor's meeting on Tues, Sep 1 during "off agenda items"

But, it isn't over! There are 1.2 million people in Sac County. Keep sharing!

And ‘walking the walk?’ Speak for yourself. Democrats who snubbed their noses at calls to Defund the Police and instead introduced legislation that legitimize police and increase their budgets are just as bad. #DefundThePolice #DefendBlackLives

[Black Justice Sacramento @BlackJusticeSac]

JUST SOME HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE SACBEE ARTICLE + PHOTOS TO ILLUSTRATE THE POINT: You remember when taking a knee was the popular performative gesture for electeds? Check on them. Folks are dying in the streets RIGHT NOW, and our state electeds are placing votes to protect police.
