And, get this, it could include a back-room deal to help cover the price tag of the proposed mega jail in Los Angeles.
We need to show some serious power to keep Governor Brown to his word and prevent any other surprises. That means we need you, with us in front of his offices across the state at actions this Friday, January 9th after the budget release:

If you can’t make it, be on the lookout in the coming weeks for next steps to help us keep the pressure on! Diana Zuñiga P.S. Because of you we raised more than double our year-end fundraising goal, we can’t thank you enough! |
