[Asian Law Caucus @AsianLawCaucus]

Last week @CAGovernor @GavinNewsom unveiled his 2021-2022 state budget proposal.

Here are some wins we applaud + some gaps that need to be filled to protect the most vulnerable Californians and advance our CA values⬇️

[NDLON @NDLON]

#NDLON stands w/ Jeanette Vizguerra as she risks deportation by leaving sanctuary, now at @JoeBiden transition headquarters to ask him to prioritize undocumented people in his first 100 days, starting on day 1. #MoratoriumDay1 #OneDayOne

Congratulations @bryancking & @nicoleannette00 for being the Senate's first AANHPI leadership team! Looking forward to working with you!

.@GavinNewsom #DefendBoun by granting him a pardon. Boun is a valuable community member, who deserves to be reunited with his family & community. After serving over 20 yrs, fighting CA fires, his healing has been overlooked, simply because he is a refugee.

[AAAJ-CA @AAAJ_CA]

An Nguyen was released from prison & transferred to ICE. He was released from ICE & quickly went into rebuilding his life, finding a stable job, & taking care of his family. ICE redetained him shortly after & released him again. @GavinNewsom #PardonAn. This is completely inhumane

Gov @GavinNewsom files brief arguing "California’s capital punishment scheme is now, and always has been, infected by racism." #deathpenalty https://t.co/OAjydn07ly

[CCWP @c_c_w_p]

Janetta Leiva is a Native woman (Yokut & Yaqui Nations) & domestic violence survivor criminalized for actions taken while suffering from untreated paranoid schizophrenia + postpartum depression. We @ CCWP demand @GavinNewsom #FreeJanetta w/ #ClemencyNow #IndigenousPeoplesDay

[CCWP @c_c_w_p]

The criminal legal system further traumatizes survivors by inflicting punishment on them for surviving violence. All DV survivors deserve protection & healing, not incarceration in prison & ICE cages.

@GavinNewsom must #LeadWithMercy & grant #ClemencyNow for ALL survivors.

[CCWP @c_c_w_p]

Beloved CCWP member Elaine Wong has been incarcerated for 40 yrs. She is 70 yrs old & extremely vulnerable to #COVID19. She's deeply remorseful for her actions + her family is prepared to support her reentry. @GavinNewsom please #LeadWithMercy and grant #ClemencyNow! #FreeElaine

Thank you @GavinNewsom for signing the Racial Justice Act!

“Calling law enforcement for any type of support can be a matter of life and death.” Marc Philpart from @PolicyLink on the CRISES Act at AAAJ-CA's Policy Town Hall in July. Let's build community-based alternatives outside of policing. Take action: https://t.co/gRTTclpxZw
