#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

Both housing injustice and prosecution are economic violence waged against our communities & are state-sanctioned forms of sexual, domestic, and gender-based violence. Grassroots fundraising helps us meet immediate material needs of survivors in ways the state can never conceive.
