Our criminal legal system is racist, xenophobic, rogue, and fundamentally broken. It profits from the mass incarceration of black and brown people and it must be dismantled.
That’s why I introduced the People’s Justice Guarantee. It is a guide for how we can decarcerate and dismantle our criminal INjustice system and focus, instead, on building a legal system rooted in justice and rehabilitation.
But we’re up against entrenched interests and enormous corporations that will spend big to stop this legislation, because they profit from the criminalization of poverty and addiction.
Working to dismantle our system of mass incarceration is personal for me because, like one of every four children in the district I represent, I grew up with a parent in and out of the legal system. I know, firsthand, the pain and trauma that causes.
That’s why I will continue to fight to dismantle a system that puts profits before people, disproportionately impacts low-income people and people of color, and creates trauma in entire communities. Will you join me in this movement?
Thank you for your solidarity.
