History has shown us repeatedly that "tough on crime" policies and criminalization of poverty DO NOT work. We are disappointed in the City of San Diego for passing this short-sighted, ill-informed policy.

We are so lucky to have such a fearless leader as our Co-Chair. Congratulations, Maresa!

Thank you to the Councilmembers who voted for a fair, balanced, and just Commission on Police Practices, particularly Council President @SeanEloRiveraD9 and Council President pro Tem @CD4Monica!

[San Diegans for Justice @SDForJustice]

You did it! Thanks to your unwavering support (since 2019!) for our vision of a community-led, independent Commission on Police Practices, eight San Diegans for Justice nominees were appointed to the CPP yesterday!

[San Diegans for Justice @SDForJustice]

We are at the SD city council meeting this morning advocating for our San Diegans for Justice nominees to the Commission on Police Practices.

Here’s the bottom line: Given the history & purpose of police & their staunch opposition to reform, we can’t trust or expect them to address this issue. We need our electeds to act. #PassPrOTECTNow

ICYMI ✍️ in anticipation of today's county vote on the District 4 vacancy, we sent a letter to the Supervisors asking for a special election to be called & for appropriate funds to be allocated for voter outreach and education

[San Diegans for Justice @SDForJustice]

Through a process of community input and feedback, we nominated leaders to serve for the Commission on Police Practices, and now it’s your turn to make sure they are appointed!

Happy New Year!

If you saw our last post, you’ll know that 2022 was a HUGE year for SDJ! The community as a whole benefitted from our Partners’ hard work & we are eternally grateful for your tireless efforts.

We are excited to see what we can accomplish together in 2023!

[San Diegans for Justice @SDForJustice]

As we approach the end of 2022, we would like to thank you for all of the work you have done in the name of criminal, economic, and electoral justice this year. Your efforts have made huge strides, and we could not have accomplished all of this without you.

Fentanyl overdoses have gripped our community, with the death toll 23% higher in the 1st quarter of 2022 than in 2021. Unhoused San Diegans are particularly vulnerable, illustrating how economic injustice is at the root of nearly all other injustices.

About a year ago, we introduced economic justice as the 3rd pillar of our mission. Thanks to you, we have since launched our cannabis social equity campaign. Learn more at https://t.co/VX6bMkNBhq

It is with a heavy heart that we honor the life of our dearest friend and social justice warrior, Stephanie Jennings. She was a founding member of Women Occupy and fought tirelessly to reform the predecessor to the CPP.

Rest in Power, Stephanie.

Much Love, Your Friends at SDJ.
