We are almost to the Governor’s desk! Thank you to all of you who have already written letters of support for this bill. We still need your help as we are getting closer to improving conditions for pregnant prisoners in California! AB 568, which will ban the use of shackles on most pregnant women, will be heard in the Senate Public Safety Committee next Tuesday 6/7. We need your help to continue to show California’s support of this important bill.
You can help in 2 ways:
1) Send a letter of organizational or individual support for AB 568! Please fax your letter in by end of the business day Friday June 3rd to 916-445-4688. Contact Lisa Marie Alatorre at lisa@criticalresistance.org for sample letters.
2) Take 10 minutes to call the members of the Senate Public Safety and encourage them (especially the Republican members of the committee) to vote AYE for AB 568 on Tuesday June 7th!
