#AB505 would require twice-a-year input from mental health, social services, & education experts in county youth justice planning. @CAProbation calls that "unnecessary bureaucratic hurdles.”🤔🤯😂 Let's protect our youth & their rights! ✊ @GavinNewsom, please sign #AB505!

A Youth Ombudsperson can inspect CA youth justice facilities, access records, and speak directly to youth about their rights. #AB505 will strengthen OYCR ‘s oversight & give needed access to an Ombudsperson who can safeguard the rights of youth. @GavinNewsom, please sign #AB505!

CA closed its youth prisons & the state is paying counties over $200,000,000 a year to care for youth. #AB505 will ensure counties create research-based & health-focused plans. Without #AB505, there's no fiscal accountability for @GavinNewsom's vision of youth justice.

On June 30th, all CA state youth prisons were closed forever. But youth can still be locked up in 58 counties. AB 505 will make sure that, if something goes wrong in local lockups, youth can speak to the Youth Ombudsperson & get help right away. #PassAB505 @GavinNewsom
