Dear John,
 

I’m thrilled to announce that Assemblymember Waldron's bill, AB 2740, has passed the California legislature and is now on Governor Newsom’s desk.

AB 2740 provides comprehensive prenatal and postnatal care for pregnant individuals in prison. The bill also directs prison officials to connect pregnant individuals with social workers within a week and ensures expedited visitation for overnight stays with newborns.
 

For more on AB 2740 and the challenges faced by pregnant individuals in prison, read Bolts Magazine's in-depth profile: https://boltsmag.org/california-prison-pregnancy/

Sincerely,
Sam Lewis
