No one should have to choose between healing from violence and keeping their job. #AB2499 allows employees and their families to use sick leave for recovery without risking their employment. #AB2499 safeguards the essential rights to safety and job security within our community.

“A report in the journal Criminology shows that homicide cases are less likely to be solved when the victim is Black.”

Imagine doing 5% of your job and blaming a 12 year old law that has nothing to do with you doing your job.

We have introduced legislation this year to better capture data on in-custody deaths including in our youth facilities.

This tragedy can no longer go unnoticed and ignored. We need information. We need answers. And, we deserve better.

SPEAK ON IT NOW! + their department eats up 60% of the city budget

.Californians for Safety and Justice is naming names, and I'm here for it. 😄

Chief Goodman stewards a police department that solves 5 PERCENT of the property crimes reported to it and less than half of all violent crimes.

Who is it now that isn’t committed to public safety?

— Burglary, down 17%
— Robbery, down 18%
— Homicide, down 27%
— Assault, down 8%
— Rape, down 29%

We are excited to share that #AB2123 (Assemblymember Diane Papan), #AB2499 (@AsmPilarSchiavo), and #AB2901 (@AsmAguiarCurry) all passed out of their committee hearings! Coalition director, Jenya Cassidy, joined our coalition partners at the state capitol yesterday! 1/4

Survivors of violence should never lose a job because they need time to recover from a traumatic event!
