Most recently, advocacy organizations across California have launched a campaign against Proposition 25. Leaders believe that this ballot measure replaces California's bail system with a far worse system of pretrial racism and mass incarceration for Black, Brown, and low income people in the community.

"There’s so many mothers I know for a fact that went to their graves knowing that their children did not hang themselves … and never got a chance to prove that, because it’s so hard to fight and win when it comes to law enforcement." - Helen Jones, mother of John Thomas Horton III and a Community Organizer with Dignity and Power Now.
