looks like we're wrapping up. Next time - non-death penalty extreme sentences. Is anyone still awake?

[Mona Cadena @MonaCadena]

is it even friday without a penal code review committee meeting in CA? #DeathPenalty discussion continues today at 1pacific. https://t.co/4EZ61zNo4D

[Mona Cadena @MonaCadena]

this is NOT a riveting meeting and this committee has a hugely important task of recommending to the Gov and legislature changes to the penal code - including what to do about the #deathpenalty.

[Mona Cadena @MonaCadena]

Shifting oversight of the #deathpenalty to a mirror the federal government's structure won't fix geographic disparities, only ending it will do that. https://t.co/hs4buzP5hL

in CA, Latino's are murdered at 2x the rate as white people yet 11 of the 13 people executed were convicted of killing a white person. #deathpenalty https://t.co/77odGGcCAQ

Why are we advocating to #FundPeacemakers? Gang intervention workers are filling an essential role as violence AND virus interrupters. A big shout out to the H.E.L.P.E.R. Foundation as they distribute food and PPE in Venice and Mar Vista to reach the most vulnerable. 🙌

tools of racial terror, like the #deathpenalty, must be dismantled.

It's time to #ConfrontRacism in California courts and pass the#RacialJusticeAct now!!

[Mona Cadena @MonaCadena]

Gov. @GavinNewsom let’s stand together to confront racism on our state. Please sign the CA Racial Justice Act. #ConfrontRacism

[Danielle @Dani_elle310]

@GavinNewsom I have a question. Are you the same person you were 13 years ago? Probably not. We all grow and are capable of change. So is he. His name is Jose and is only still incarcerated b/c of enhancements. This is not justice. @CAgovernor

#JuliusJones has been on #Okla death row for 20+ years despite maintaining his innocence & compelling evidence racial bias infected his case. Here more on @WrongConviction podcast w/ @itsjasonflom & @KimKardashian: https://t.co/oMYvGUUsKY & sign petition: https://t.co/Nes8PoYZ45

#BREAKING: Report released by @UCLAlatino & @KnowledgeLuskin finds that some communities don’t have sufficient access to outdoor recreation, groceries, physical distance to stay safe.

Blacks and Latinos face the highest burdens to sheltering in place.

If 25% capacity is needed for restaurants and movie theaters, why not with prisons? #SaferAtHome @GovAbbott @membergutierrez @TDCJ
