SB857 passed the senate ed committee with flying colors! Thank you @SenJohnLaird and members of the Senate Ed Committee for unanimously voting to establish a CDE task force to recognize and address the needs of LGTBQ+ students. Thanks @eqca for your partnership in this process.

Students are the most directly affected stakeholders when it comes to education policy. This is why @CASC_Leaders hosts the SABE Conference to present proposals to the SBE yearly. Here’s a snippet of one of five proposals. The full meeting is at the CDE website. #studentvoice
Yesterday, #AB2417 was signed into law! We thank @GavinNewsom for acting to protect youth rights and @PhilTing for championing this bill, as well as our hardworking coalition. With the state DJJ closing, incarcerated youth can now know and defend their rights in the new system.
THANK YOU to the cosponsors of #AB2417: @AntiRecidivism, @BurnsInstitute, @calyouthconn, @eqca, @hrw, @YoungWomenFree, @PacJuvDefCtr, @nclrights, @Fairsentencing @CASC_Leaders , and dozens of other groups that fought to pass the #YouthBillofRights!

Healing happens when youth are treated w/ dignity & respect. #AB2417 informs incarcerated youth about their rights & lets them know how to protect themselves. We can help empower young people in California by giving them a #YouthBillofRights.
@GavinNewsom: Pls sign #AB2417

We’re calling on you, @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom, to support California youth by signing #AB503. Our kids need a juvenile justice system centered around care and compassion, not punishment. #AB503TweetWeek
Join us NOW: bit.ly/AB503-Action.
.@GavinNewsom there's no better time to help lead California into the future you profess to desire — one supported by systems that are health-focused — by Ending Endless Probation. Sign #AB503 TODAY

Thank you @ParisHilton for being an advocate for our youth! We only have a few critical hours left for @GavinNewsom to sign #AB2417, and we strongly urge him to do so now. The fundamental human rights of CA youth must be safeguarded by our state government.
Please sign #AB2417 @GavinNewsom. Youth in county facilities across CA deserve a #YouthBillofRights!
WOOHOO! Thank you @GavinNewsom for signing #AB748 and @AsmCarrillo for championing the bill. #AB748 will ensure that youth have access to information on critical mental health resources. As proud sponsors, we are thrilled to see it come to life in every CA school next year.
Proud that #AB748 has been signed into law by the Governor. We must act decisively to confront the youth mental health crisis, and this bill will ensure that students have access to the information they need to recognize when and how to seek help. #MentalHealthAwareness

The new California Youth Empowerment Commission is now accepting applications from youth ages 14-25 to serve as commissioners.
The Youth Commission was created by my bill AB46. Youth across the state will be selected to serve.
To apply:

Would some juvenile facilities post rights info and the ombudsperson phone number if there wasn't a law requiring it? Probably.
But probably not at the facilities where youth need it the most.
@CAgovernor @GavinNewsom: please sign #AB2417 into law.
California Association of Student Councils retweeted
CA leads the nation in juvenile justice reform and will soon close state youth prisons.
CA must take the next step and protect the rights of youth who are incarcerated at the county level.
The #YouthBillofRights will keep youth safe. Gov @GavinNewsom, please sign #AB2417!
#AB2417 ensures that incarcerated youth can know and safeguard their human rights such as access to clean water in county juvenile facilities. Now that it has passed unanimously from the legislature, we urge Governor @GavinNewsom to sign #AB2417 and protect and empower our youth.

LGBTQ+ youth who are incarcerated deserve be informed about their right to a clean and safe environment while being free from harassment & discrimination. @CAgovernor, you can continue to protect LGBTQ+ youth in CA by signing #AB2417, the #YouthBillofRights.
California Association of Student Councils retweeted
As California bill passage deadline nears, several LGBTQ-rights bills are close to the finish line.
PASS #AB2417! And then, Gov. @GavinNewsom, please protect youth who are locked up, and sign it into law.

A #YouthBillofRights already exists in CA law, but it only applies to youth prisons. CA needs to protect these rights in county youth facilities. #AB2417 will give incarcerated youth across CA a bill of rights so they can be safe, protected, and empowered.
#AB2417 passed the Senate Public Safety Committee! Now we are one step closer to giving incarcerated youth across CA a #YouthBillofRights so they know how to protect themselves and where to turn to for help. Next stop: Senate Appropriations!
