Prosecution is economic violence because few can afford the expense of a legal defense. Organizers have to sustain a long-haul campaign w/ small donations from many ppl to cover legal defense fees -- please continue to amplify this effort! http://bit.ly/tracyfund

#TowardAbolition? Have you noticed@GavinNewsom is ignoring an AWFUL lot of clemency petitions? Predecessor@JerryBrownGov increased clemency significantly - Newsom granted only 27 pardons, 44 commutations out of 123K ppl in CA prisons, ~0.0006%. Absolutely disgraceful.pic.twitter.com/rXUG0qmxk0

Your crucial support helped secure commutations for S&P CA incarcerated members, Tammy Garvin, Barbara Chavez, Kelly Ann Savage, Christina Martinez & Gabriela Solano. Your support was key in bringing these survivors closer to release. Let's keep it going
