Last year we lost over 4 million acres of habitat to wildfires. I've introduced Senate Bill 592 to gather information on wildfires' actual impacts on ecosystems, biodiversity, and protected species. #SB592
4. A new law (#SB592) to ensure CA juries are more diverse, by drawing from a broader pool of citizens. Currently, juries are drawn only from voter registration & DMV files, leading to whiter & wealthier juries. SB 592 adds the entire taxpayer file. https://t.co/2QhsVSqzEB

Bill author @Scott_Wiener: “Sadly, California juries are whiter and wealthier than the community as a whole"
#SB592 @GavinNewsom @sfchronicle
.@iamjohnoliver did a terrific segment last month about our broken and racially biased jury system. One of the solutions he proposed is exactly what our #SB592 does: expand the jury pool to include all taxpayers, not just DMV & voter rolls.

Ending structural racism in our criminal justice system must include diverse juries.
@GavinNewsom just signed our legislation (#SB592) to make juries more diverse.
Juries are now drawn only from DMV/voter databases. SB 592 adds CA’s tax roll, increasing the pool’s diversity.
2. #SB592 is a major piece of criminal justice reform & anti-racism legislation. It will make California juries more diverse & representative of the community by dramatically expanding our jury pools to include anyone who files a tax return,. https://t.co/VO1huoVfn0
California lawmakers pass bill to diversify largely white, wealthier juries
#SB592, by @Scott_Wiener, would expand California’s pool of potential jurors by drawing from tax returns, not just voter/DMV rolls.

Another @Scott_Wiener bill just got through, he's been on a roll this morning.
Senate passed #SB592, 27-5. Bill would help diversify California's disproportionately white, wealthier juries. Heads to Newsom's desk.

Legislature just passed our bill (#SB592) to make CA juries more diverse, breaking down structural racism in our criminal justice system.
It expands our jury pool to include not just voter registration/DMV databases but also the entire database of taxpayers.
Onto the Governor!
Assembly just passed #SB592, @Scott_Wiener's bill to diversify California's disproportionately white, wealthier juries.
Bill requires another vote in Senate. Background here: https://t.co/1C2eYypBOx @sfchronicle
Our jury system is broken & doesn’t reflect the diversity of our communities.
As usual, @iamjohnoliver nails it. One solution he mentions: draw juries not just from voter/DMV files but also from tax rolls.
I’m authoring that exact legislation, #SB592. https://t.co/vJP1TyQ6Av
We’ve been talking about the problems with jury selection for years. @iamjohnoliver on @LastWeekTonight breaks it down and makes suggestions. We do not and never have had a jury of our peers. Pass #AB3070 #SB592 & #AB2542. Let’s fix this! #ConfrontRacism

I’m authoring legislation (#SB592) to ensure CA jury pools actually reflect our state’s diversity. Today the bill passed a key committee vote.
Currently juries are whiter & wealthier than CA as a whole. To end structural racism in our criminal justice system, this must change.
To fix our broken criminal justice system — & address the structural racism infecting it — we must, among other things, have juries that reflect the diversity of our community. That’s why we introduced #SB592, so people can have a jury of their peers. https://t.co/g1AUx9ytJl
Another great bill proposed by California Legislatures to increase people of color on juries. Thank you @Scott_Wiener for #SB592. Systemic racism has to be eliminated in our jury system. #FairJuires #CrossRepresentation #Juryofyourpeers https://t.co/nALhtyBbLe
I joined Senators @Scott_Wiener @NancySkinnerCA & @HollyJMitchell as co-author of #SB592 to ensure CA jury pools reflect diversity of our community. It requires juries to be drawn from CA taxpayer rolls, not just DMV & voter rolls. @ellabakercenter
Today we announced new legislation to ensure CA jury pools reflect the diversity of our community. #SB592 requires that juries be drawn from CA taxpayer roll, not just DMV & voter rolls.
A jury of one’s peers is essential to end structural racism in our criminal justice system.
