"Proponents of the bill have argued that, essentially, it is better to do something than have no guardrails in place. But this something? It's worse than nothing—by a long shot." - @Htsuka We urge Mike McGuire Anna Caballero to hold AB 1814. aclucalaction.org/2024/08/weak-g…

We were proud to join the Building the California Dream Alliance in advocating for 3 critical bills in the CA legislature, including our sponsored bill #AB2441 on school policing. Thank you to Dr. Joaquin Arambula for meeting with us. Together, we can build a state where all students can succeed. 💫

UPDATE: This bill has been held and will not be moving forward. Thank you to everyone who called and sent messages to their lawmakers and state leaders! 🎉

Huge win!!! This was one of Chispa bills to oppose for the year.

Waging a war on poor people isn’t the answer. Fighting to end poverty is.

"Lawmakers should take this movement and the failure of AB 1814 as a mandate to protect their constituents from this privacy-eviscerating technology. The only surefire way to do that is by prohibiting the police from using it." Read our latest blog⤵️ aclucalaction.org/2024/08/once-a…

The data is clear: when law enforcement is required to come onto campus, those that they choose to arrest are disproportionately people w/disabilities & students of color. It's time to sign AB 2441 to protect students & teachers. calmatters.org/politics/capit… via Jenna Peterson

Prop 6 prioritizes rehabilitation over exploitation and increases opportunities for incarcerated people to work on themselves, which will reduce recidivism and lead to safer communities for us all. #YesonProp6

VICTORY! Thanks to your advocacy, #CALeg rejected bills that would've allowed cops to set their own rules on how to use police attack dogs. Canines are a dangerous use of force that often bite innocent Californians, and lawmakers should decide what the limits are – not cops.

Slavery still exists in California in 2024, despite what many of us have been taught. Forced labor continues in CA prisons, and it's even written into our Constitution. Involuntary servitude is modern-day slavery. It's time to end slavery and vote #YESonProp6!

Angela Davis agrees: Involuntary servitude is slavery! A vote for Prop 6 is a vote to end slavery in CA! ✅ Spread the word, vote YES on Prop 6 to end slavery! Go to voteYESprop6.com to learn more and get active! #InvoluntaryServitudeisSlavery #VoteYesonProp6
