Vallejo family!!! Please text or call @Tim4Assembly to let him know the importance of supporting #AB333!! Cause #GangEnhancementsAreHellaRacist!!!
In CA, over 90% of adults caged in prisons with gang enhancements are either Black or Latino. If we want to challenge systemic racism in a tangible, real, life-saving, way - not just slogans and speeches - state legislators must follow @sydneykamlager's lead and support #AB333!✊🏾
All the love & power to @FoxandRob as we join the @pdmnola family in LA celebrating their anniversary today and their incredible freedom journey told through THE film of our era @timemovie which is up for an #Oscar tomorrow!#WhenWeFightWeWin!!! #ParticipatoryDefense #TimeSaved

We Won!!! CA Supreme Court declared #SB1391 constitutional! This means DA's can't try transfer youth under 16 to adult court!!! This is over attempts from Santa Clara County DA Office who still wanted to transfer our kids. #WhenWeFightWeWin for our children! Here's the presser!✊🏾

Early morning, 2 days b4 Xmas, he left the gates of San Quentin after 13 yrs. The inhumanity of CA's sentencing scheduled him to be locked up for decades longer, but due to his fortitude+his family's faith+the incredible work of @ForThePeople_CA today is a day of freedom!
WELCOME HOME to our brother Kennard!!! Over 13 years ago, he was sentenced to decades of incarceration. We remember his dad coming to #participatorydefense meetings even back then, full of faith he would bring him home sooner... (1/2)
