As we continue to stand with the powerful uprisings for Black lives, California has the opportunity to make transformational change. With your help, we can fundamentally shift policing in California by divesting from police and investing in community.

Police response often escalates crises while increasing the risk of harm for everyone — and we know that – Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and people with disabilities are disproportionately impacted. The C.R.I.S.E.S. Act (AB 2054) creates a culturally informed response program for people experiencing mental health crises, homelessness, intimate partner violence, and other emergencies. Can you email Governor Newsom demanding he commit to signing the C.R.I.S.E.S. Act (AB 2054) into law?
