FAQ
We prioritize policies that are informed by directly impacted people and that meaningfully reduce incarceration, restore rights, and promote healing.
Yes! We provide training and resources to help community members learn how to support, advocate for, and shape policy changes.
A bill must be introduced by a legislator, move through committees, pass both houses of the legislature, and be signed into law. Our role is to mobilize communities and lawmakers to support justice-focused policies.
You can take action by calling or writing legislators, joining organizing efforts, and helping spread awareness about our policy campaigns.
No. We also work policies related to reentry systems and restoring rights for people who are formerly incarcerated. As our policies reshape California's approach to justice, it reduces the likelihood that harm will happen again and frees up resources for the community (like money in our state's budget). This impacts all of us.
