You want to dismantle the sheriff's department? make Alameda County Board of Supervisors need to put their money where their mouths are & show #BlackLivesMatter? demand they #FreeThemAll & #DefundTheSheriff?
SAME.
Let's build together 🙌
44% of people formerly incarcerated in women’s prisons reported having a diagnosis of some mental health concern & 56% felt that they currently needed treatment. Instead of investing in women's prisons, invest in affordable healthcare. #FromCrisis2Care https://t.co/sqDvAG4dk8
Read the latest research from our #HealthNotPunishment team - From Crisis to Care: Ending the Health Harm of Women’s Prisons + use the toolkit to call attention to the public health crisis of women’s prisons & the investments required to end it - https://t.co/tpdi96dLhd
WE CONTINUE TO DEMAND:
✊🏿 No evictions either from the termination of limited emergency tenant protestions or from Project Roomkey
✊🏿 Reopen efforts to create the City LA Justice Fund with universal representation
We won't be placated by meaningless resolutions.
.@GavinNewsom@CAgovernor: #AB2761 would increase transparency around deaths that occur in our state’s prisons and jails. Please sign this bill to give us the information we need as communities and families!
Undercounting of in-custody deaths is a national problem. We have an opportunity to lead the nation by ensuring accurate & timely reporting of in-custody deaths to the public — it's the least we can do. Please sign #AB2761 today, @GavinNewsom@CAgovernor
.@GavinNewsom@CAgovernor: Our communities can’t wait 1-2 years for the CA DOJ to post about in-custody deaths. This is an unacceptable delay. Please sign #AB2761 today!
"California won't be the first, but it certainly has to be the next.”
Powerful words from @repdeliaramirez of Illinois on the urgent need for #CaLeg & @GavinNewsom to pass the #VISIONAct now. We need catch up to IL and others that ALREADY passed laws to #stopICEtransfers! 1/

The Riverside community is back at @GeneralRoth's office urging his YES vote on the #VISIONAct! Sen. Roth, which side are you on? Will your legacy as a Senator be with the immigrant community or not? Support the #VISIONAct today! 📹@IC4IJ
"Many of our elected officials, being veterans themselves, need to be reminded of the phrase: leave no one behind."
🎥: @robgrpa, an advocate for deported veterans, urges #CASen to pass the #VISIONAct to end injustices to our non-citizen veterans.

A msg to Gov. @GavinNewsom on the #VISIONAct from civil rights leader @DoloresHuerta: "This is double jeopardy. We need to catch up. Other states have already taken care of this issue that ppl aren't turned over to ICE after they finish their sentences." Pass the #VISIONAct now!
Reliving this moment yesterday when we unrolled a 20-foot scroll with signatures from Californians impacted by the prison-to-deportation pipeline, all urging Gov. @GavinNewsom to pass the #VISIONact now! 🎥 @c_c_w_p
Recap of yesterday’s #VisionAct rally and petition delivery with @iceoutofca and partners ✊❤️!
We heard from individuals that have been directly impacted by the prison-to-deportation pipeline and from the advocates who have championed reform through activism & legislation.
On Tuesday, advocates delivered a letter signed by 140+ impacted community members to @GavinNewsom, urging him to sign the #VISIONAct.
ICE transfers separate families, disrupt re-entry plans, and intensify existing trauma. Keep our immigrant families whole!
