I am so glad to see all of our work paid off! AB960 one small step. May we all continue conversations about our incarceration population. A wall and barbwire does not make them less human. It just makes them more caged. #DropLWOP @SCSCNow

On Sept 30, Governor @GavinNewsom signed AB 960, the bill to expand compassionate release of people in prison, into law! Thank you to all the hard-working advocates who made this happen! @UnCommLaw @FAMMFoundation @ROOTandREBOUND @SmartJusticeCA @WC4BL_Berkeley @UAPD @c_c_w_pWith
Last week, we sent a letter to Gov @GavinNewsom calling for a signature on AB 960 (@PhilTing), a bill to expand compassionate release of medically vulnerable people incarcerated in California prisons.

CA’s current compassionate release system has failed thousands of people like Demarey and Rhonda. It’s time for a more #CompassionateCalifornia. Learn more at bit.ly/ab960.
1 in 3 people who apply for compassionate release in California die in prison before the process can be completed...just like Rhonda's son, Demarey, who was only 28 years old.

Even after doctors determine that someone is eligible, the CDCR Secretary has to sign off before a court can even consider the case. This bureaucratic step provides no public safety or medical benefit, and results in unnecessary delays, denials, and deaths in prison. #AB960

Families, loved ones, and communities are the best caretakers and advocates for someone at the end of their life. Just being surrounded by people who can provide physical affection, support, and love can make an enormous difference at the end of someone's life. #AB960

97% of incarcerated adults experienced childhood trauma, including things like childhood poverty, violence, or the incarceration of a parent. Early childhood support is one of the best ways to prevent future cycles of violence and incarceration. #AB960 #CompassionateCalifornia

“To not be able to physically be there for your child - there’s no compassion in that.”

Many of our elected officials including @GeneralRoth, being veterans themselves, need to be reminded of the phrase “leave no one behind.” ICE transfers separate families & block access to care, including for our immigrant veterans & military families. Support the #VISIONAct now!

Sharing UPCOMING EVENT from @BlackDocVillage:
Black Doc Village will be hosting a kick-off demonstration on August 26th in Pasadena to raise awareness about the unjust dismissals of Black doctors and trainees. Register here: blackdocvillage.com
From blackdocvillage.com/about/:
"The average medical student graduates with $240,000 of debt, but without a medical license and at least one year of residency training, one can not legally practice medicine. Black doctor-hopefuls are disproportionately affected.”
