Thinking of all my clients who needlessly lost their homes again and again through this unconstitutional, violent city practice, and feeling so so so grateful and proud of my friends and colleagues for seeing this case through 🥲

BREAKING! CA Appeals Court finds San Francisco's poverty tows unconstitutional.

"Stealing someone’s only means to go to work or support their family, without a warrant, doesn’t make sense for anyone,” - @ZalKShroff

An appeals court has reaffirmed that cities have no right to send police officers or other authorities to remove the unhoused population from the streets. https://t.co/vFG87oHw0Y

Big win! AB 1082 (Kalra) passed the Assembly Transportation Committee this week.

This brings us one step closer to abolishing #povertytows & ending unfair punishments for unpaid parking tickets in CA!

There are ZERO warming centers open tonight in Sacramento. Neither the County nor City have activated them. Non-profit ones are closed including First Steps on North A, and Union Gospel Mission which closed March 11th.

Folks asking me about tax $ and free prison calls: you’re gonna be REAL MAD when you learn that it costs over $100k a year to incarcerate someone in CA state prison & that 50% of the population has been deemed low risk by the prison system’s own metrics.

PIT RESULTS:
Sacramento County’s homeless population nearly doubled in 3 years, and is now higher than SF.

On any given night, there are 9,278 homeless ppl in the Sac County, up from 5,570 in Jan 2019.
Up to 20,000 people will experience homelessness over the course of the year.

.@GavinNewsom and the Legislature have agreed to eliminate all civil assessment debt, but does not fully eliminate the fees themselves, keeping civil assessment fees at a maximum of $100 instead of $300.

Remember when they were trying to figure out why there was a giant drop in crime like 30 years ago and they tried to say it was due to better policing…

And then the Freakonomics dudes figured out it’s because an entire generation wasn’t forced to give birth to unwanted kids.

@Samuel_Karlin @alittleleader @EJW_org Wildly unsurprising from the org that honors amazon and Home Depot at their annual gala. Is there a letter alumni can sign??

BREAKING: Today, families exploited by the bail industry won big in court.

For the first time, the California Court of Appeals says that bail bond companies MUST follow consumer protection laws.

As a result, Bad Boys Bail Bonds CANNOT collect on **$38 MILLION** in debt. /1

Mayor Breed is sitting on almost $110 million in unspent Prop. C funding for behavioral health treatment programs that would be much more effective in dealing with the crises of addiction and overdose on our streets. #TLneedsCARE
