The police lobby is continuing to try to stop #SB2, a common-sense bill that brings California in line with 46 other states that decertify abusive cops.

In their editorial, the @ocregister calls on our state to have the courage to take them on. #LetUsLive

Pass AB 339. Sammuel is a special ed student with a perspective his board of education needs to hear.

In 2021, Sammuel should be able to participate by phone or video.

Let’s pass #AB339, and ensure that everyone’s voice can be heard. @asmaguiarcurry

UC Health’s contracts which place restrictions on gender-affirming care puts trans patients in danger. Thank you, @r0oy_l, for sharing your story.

Today, #SB379, a bill to remove these redirections, will be heard in the Senate Health Committee.

We’re calling on the members of the Senate Health Committee @casenmelendez @eggmansusan @shannongroveca @senmelissahurtado @connie.m.leyva @moniquelimonca @generalroth & @sensusanrubio to pass this bill. Everyone deserves the right to high quality care.

True justice for George Floyd means renewing our conviction to create a world where police do not have the opportunity to use violence to target Black people.

We hear the verdict is coming shortly, so a reminder that whatever the outcome, real justice would be George being able to return to Gianna.

Real justice is only achieved by preventing these situations from happening in the first place, and until we can end the scourge of police violence on Black communities we will fight to make sure that happens.
