This is a great article about the need to fund public defenders. We will be on the frontlines. "The state’s leaders are overlooking our legal system’s single most important means of preventing mass deportations: public defenders." #FundPublicDefense latimes.com/opinion/story/20…

This is why strong public defender offices are need now more than ever. The death penalty has never been about public safety, it is about retribution. #AbolishTheDeathPenalty

Happy Martin Luther King Day! On this day we honor the legacy of a true leader. One that led with courage, conviction and compassion. #MLKDay #KeepTheDreamAlive #EndMassIncarceration
Today, 55% of people on federal death row are people of color, echoing the racial injustices and economic discrimination that have historically plagued our nation. You can take action - Demand @POTUS to #CommuteTheRow

Proposition 36 will send people to PRISON for petty thefts and drug possession. Putting people in cages for minor offenses has never solved anything. #VoteNoOnProp36
Prop 36 talks about addressing homelessness and drug addiction but it provides zero money for housing or treatment. It will only result in more people incarcerated in jail & prison. #VoteNoOnProp36 #EndMassIncarceration
This is a must read by @latimes. Prop 36 will make petty thefts & drug possession punishable for up to 3 years in prison. #VoteNoOnProp36 latimes.com/opinion/story/20…

Just a few pics from the 53rd Annual California Public Defenders Association Convention in Oakland. Thank u Nigel Poor and @EarlonneWoods from @earhustlesq for the amazing keynote! Next year we’ll be in SoCal #Defenders
Last week our CPDA legislative committee, along with several allies were at the State Capitol to oppose some of the proposed draconian fentanyl laws. Incarceration for a public health crisis is not the solution. #CareNotCages #NoNewWarOnDrugs
Prosecutors have nearly $1 BILLION MORE than public defenders!
