Tomorrow, we will find out if CURB’s co-sponsored bills will get off of suspense and move forward in the legislative process.
Our Senators and Assemblymembers will need one last push before the big decision. This week we received thousands of letters from people who would be impacted by these bills, and we need to amplify their voices.
Please join us as we encourage the authors and appropriations chairs to move the bills forward so our loved ones can come home.
Let California legislators know that they have the public’s full support:
Tweet your support for Elder Parole (SB 224) now.
Tweet your support for Credit Incentives (AB 512) now.
Tweet your support for the Alternative Custody Program (SB 219) now
We know that some of you can’t tweet so please be on the lookout for the next email. If our bills get off of suspense we will need each and every one of you to send emails and make phone calls. We won’t be able to move them through the next phase of the legislative cycle without you.
The support and influence you provide is crucial to pushing our state representatives to reduce the prison population and invest in a durable and sustainable solution to prison overcrowding.
Thank you,
Diana Zuñiga
Interim Statewide Coordinator

P.S. The budget battle isn’t over. We are still fighting to make sure this budget closes Norco, stops “aggressive construction” of prisons, and re-directs funding towards our bills! Look out for our last push and check out my letter to the editor that the SacBee published.
