Please share this video about SB 94 and support this bill.
Next stop is the Assembly. Please ask your friends & family members to support this bill so we can build our forces as we go to the Assembly!!

Time for a fact check on SB 94.
✅A small population of the most elderly inmates are eligible
✅Their recidivism rate is 0%
✅Bill doesn’t automatically let people out of prison. It’s judicial review to consider those who have fully rehabilitated
✅Saves 100s of millions tax 💵
