"Evidence & experience show racial bias at play at every level of the criminal justice system, from arrest to jury selection to verdict. The disparities are particularly glaring in death sentences."

We're at #CAleg today to oppose #SB1011.

Pushing unhoused people out of sight doesn’t make homelessness go away. To end homelessness, we need to address the root problem: lack of affordable housing.

That's why 100 orgs are urging #NOonSB1011: https://t.co/noWJQdAd0M

👏👏 #RJA & #RJA4All are helping root out racism in the criminal legal system

"Before the #RacialJusticeAct was signed into law, there would be 'virtually nothing' the courts could have done to remedy this case."

Thank you @CAgovernor Newsom for signing #SB474 #TheBasicAct, which reduces unjust markups on everyday necessities in prison canteens like hygiene products, food &health supplements. Thanks @ellabakercenter @womensfoundca @LegalAidAtWork @UnCommLaw @lspcmovement @MILPACollective

I just wrote a @theactionnet letter: Urge your Assemblymember to vote YES on SB 94. Write one here: https://t.co/1u6aG8WP3b

[Senator Josh Becker @SenJoshBecker]

Today I hosted a canteen pop-up at the #caleg to highlight the need to reduce unnecessary and cruel markups of everyday necessities of prison canteens. #TheBasicAct #SB474 reduces prison canteen markups, which can range from 60-200%.

[Legal Services for Prisoners with Children @lspcmovement]

The BASICs Act (SB 474) by @SenJoshBecker is headed for an Assembly Floor vote next week before it goes to the Governor's desk for signature!

We want to let the public and legislators know that the canteen is a necessity, not a luxury! (1/2)

[CCWP @c_c_w_p]

Yesterday was so powerful! Nearly a dozen people formerly sentenced to life without parole met with legislators to urge their support for #SB94, sharing their own stories of success & giving back to their communities upon returning home from incarceration.

[Ella Baker Center @ellabakercenter]

HUGE NEWS: #SB94 (@SenDaveCortese) has passed out of the Assembly Appropriations Committee's #SuspenseFile! #CAleg

Watch and read more about why victims, advocates, and former LWOP folks support this modest reform!

“It’s disheartening to hear about guards receiving bonuses while stories of mistreatment, abuse and neglect within California prisons regularly surface.” - A. Monteiro @CURBprisons @latimes @keribla https://t.co/QnqD9SyodK

[Ella Baker Center @ellabakercenter]

According to CA's Racial and Identity Profiling Advisory Board, Black and Latino Californians are much more likely to be stopped for a minor traffic violation, be searched, injured, shot, and even killed by the police.
