Families who lost loved ones to police violence have been organizing in cities across CA, and this week they gathered in the state capitol to advocate to the Senate for a bill they wrote to stop police interrogations of families after police killings: #AB572 by @Ash_Kalra!💪🏾✊🏾❤️
Today, I spoke w/@SharoneMitchJr, Cook County Chief Public Defender, and @SharlynDGrace, Dep Pub Def for Policy. They joined to discuss Illinois's abolition of cash bail, how it hasn't made crime worse, and what's really driving Trump's threats against the city.
This “vision for 2026” the mayor has is displacing all houseless ppl, arresting and locking up the poor, and vanishing anyone who doesn’t make San Jose look appealing to visitors of the events. For sure, vulnerable San Jose members are who will be sacrificed for this “vision”.

Raj spoke to our D.C. #ParticipatoryDefense family Qiana last week. She spoke on fed takeover of DC's police & how 30 year low crime rates, legal empowerment, political education & organizing are what is needed now more than ever. youtube.com/watch?v=S-y98o…
We'll be in SAC Aug.20 pushing for #AB1071 !!! Federal threats to due process & fairness in courts are growing. In California, this how we're fighting back. W/ this bill, communities can access legal support and data to expose and challenge racial discrimination in the courts.
Read this powerful piece by Jamilah Rosales-Webb on "The Long Drive Home" - recounting the journey many family members have returning from visiting loved ones held far away in prison, and the hope that one day the distance and separation is over.siliconvalleydebug.org/stories/the-lo…
“The Long Drive Home” is the harsh reality of having an incarcerated loved one. Our family Jamilah just wrote a beautifully intimate & honest account of a recent family visit w/ her husband. She dedicates it to all prison wives who make this long journey. siliconvalleydebug.org/stories/the-lo…
"When we’re locked down for institutional count, we’re in an oven. It’s too hot. And there’s no relief." Incarcerated author Tutankhamon Waterman on extreme, dangerous heat in Virginia's prisons. A copub with @truthout inquest.org/108-degrees/
After maintaining his innocence and being wrongfully incarcerated for 13 years, Hugo Chavez is home! These are some of his first moments walking out of the Main Jail facility in San Jose to reunite with family and friends who have been fighting for his freedom all those years!
Hugo Chavez is finally FREE. His freedom proves that our DA in Santa Clara County will do anything to convict an innocent man and purposefully cause trauma and hardship that forever changes his life and those around him. This should make people angry! Congrats to Hugo!

#TimeSaved!!!✊🏾🙏🏾
WELCOME HOME HUGO CHAVEZ! Incarcerated for 13 yrs, wrongfully convicted & sentenced to 105yr-Life. DA used racist stereotypes & shady tactics. July 23, 2025 Hugo walked out of main jail as a free man to his family and his 12 year old daughter who he gets to hug for the 1st time!
Hugo Chavez is going home to his family tonight!!! Hugo’s conviction was overturned this past Dec after being incarcerated 10+ years. Santa Clara County DAs wanted to try him another time, but finally dismissed the case on Monday.
The most significant way Santa Clara County reduced the jail population was by eliminating money bail for most charges. No increase in crime. Then, inexplicably in 2022, they ended this "zero dollar bail" policy. It's been time to bring it back. Read why: siliconvalleydebug.org/stories/if-san…
