The CA Assembly is voting on #ACA8 TODAY, which will remove involuntary servitude from CA’s Constitution. Involuntary servitude is modern-day slavery for incarcerated people. It’s time we #EndSlaveryinCA and pass #ACA8.

The new book “Deaths in Custody” by ⁦@jaydaronson⁩ & ⁦@rmitch_jr⁩ is now out! The book calls for a check box on all death records indicating whether the death occurred in custody. Great idea—we need this data!

SB1008, the Keep Families Connected Act, was SIGNED by Gov. Newsom last night! Huge congrats to all of the advocates who fought for this bill and a huge thanks to everyone who spread the word, signed petitions, tweeted, etc.! We did it! #sb1008 #keepfamiliesconnected

[Mourning Our Losses @mourninglosses]

@GavinNewsom We urge you to do the right thing and sign #SB1008 into law! #keepfamiliesconnected

[Senator Josh Becker @SenJoshBecker]

SB 1008 alleviates the financial burden on families by making voice communications free for incarcerated people in California’s state prisons and juvenile halls. #keepfamiliesconnected

Action alert

[Asian Law Caucus @AsianLawCaucus]

URGENT: ICE IS TAKING PHOEUN YOU TO AN AIRPORT. We don’t know more than that, but it means deportation is imminent. Only a pardon from @CAGovernor can stop this.

We are going to keep fighting until the last possible moment. Call @GavinNewsom's office & urge a pardon for Phoeun!

[Mourning Our Losses @mourninglosses]

Bay Area family, please come out to support Phoeun tomorrow if you can!

[VietRISE @vietriseoc]

📣 Join the rally TOMORROW in Oakland to #ProtectPhoeun from deportation and call on Gov. @GavinNewsom to pardon Phoeun! #StopICETransfers

This Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom. But if mass incarceration is the New Jim Crow, then the high-cost of phone calls from jails/prisons are the shackles. Phone calls from jails/prisons should be free.

This Juneteenth, we need to pass #SB1008 and #KeepFamiliesConnected.

[Empowering Women II @EmpoweringIi]

SB1008 Keep Families Connected Act is on its way to the Senate Floor!

We’ve moved out of Appropriations!  Thank you all for your support!

Thank you @SenJoshBecker for standing up for families impacted by incarceration!

#KeepFamiliesConnected

[Empowering Women II @EmpoweringIi]

Moms need #SB1008 to pass so they can #KeepFamiliesConnected! Tell us, what would free communication to jails and prisons mean for you? @Portantino @SteveBradford
