We call on all people – especially our state officials and legislators – to work with us in building a firewall for freedom that will protect and advance the safety and wellbeing of all Californians.

Our advocates have worked to create a roadmap for protecting civil rights and civil liberties in this outcome. It will take everything we've got to fight back, and we are ready.

Immigration detention centers have a history of abuse, medical neglect, and complete disregard for the dignity of people in their custody. Efforts to expand this cruel and inhumane system have no place in CA.

“Without necessarily realizing it, voters are now deciding whether to double down on three strikes, and in so doing whether to saddle themselves with steeper jail and prison costs and a larger incarceration footprint…” https://t.co/gmIoxD4fLE

Meaningful healing requires concrete action: investing in Indigenous-led education, protecting Native students' right to express their cultural identities at school, and fully respecting tribal sovereignty.

Today's historical apology acknowledges this terrible chapter, yet the legacy of trauma continues to impact generations of Native people and families.
