We can no longer tolerate using Incarceration to mask our societal issues. Instead of facing that we have a housing issue, public education issue, a mental health issue, we have decided to incarcerate instead. This is the year to say no to the failure called Mass Incarceration.

RIGHT NOW. CA Sup. Ct. is hearing arguments in a case about whether it is constitutional to prosecute 14 & 15 yo kids as adults. In short: Prosecutors want kids to face adult prison terms. Research & common sense say no. Let's hope the law lands on the right side. #CareNotCages

There is no safe way to social distance in overcrowded prisons, operating well above 100% capacity. There is no safe way to transfer incarcerated folks from one prison to another without risking a new outbreak. Gov. @GavinNewsom must grant #EmergencyReleasesNow

A 23-year-old father of two was jailed for two months because he missed his probation officer’s calls. His cell phone service had been turned off when he couldn’t afford to pay his bill.
No one should go to jail because they can’t afford their phone bill! injusticewatch.org/news/2020…
