@SamanthaCorbin So sorry Sam. Hang in there.

Have to say good bye to my best old girl today. It’s been a good 20 years buddy. 💔

Talk about bittersweet. This year was my last in #caleg But so proud Team Skinner was able to deliver 15 bills in 2024 to Gov. @GavinNewsom - including two he already signed. Here are my #Caleg 13 bills now headed to @CAgovernor 's desk:

Our economy thrives when workers are empowered and paid fairly. That's why I'm proud to stand with the movement to raise the minimum wage to $17/hr. We deserve to live in a country where nobody has to struggle to make ends meet, where dignity and fair compensation are the norm.

@AsmCarrillo @CROPOrg1 @BettyYeeforCA @MiaBonta Absolutely!! It's a great photo ❤️

@JuliaRoot @CROPOrg1 @BettyYeeforCA @MiaBonta I need this one in a frame!

@SpeedyVeez @CROPOrg1 Thank you @SpeedyVeez for your support and advocacy and for sharing your lived experiences with the criminal legal system with @CROPOrg1 today ❤️

@CROPOrg1 I'm into 15 years of incareration. I suggest to everyone research ReEntry. My son and I have for the past 1 1/2 years. CROP org: The pillars of the program, the outstanding staff, etc sets a new standard in ReEntry. They are striving daily to expand opportunities. 🙏

Access to livable wage jobs, stable housing, economic supports, and inclusion into society as whole human beings are all critical components of successful reentry. It takes a community and @CROPOrg1 is here for it! #PeopleOverPunishment #NormalizeFairChance

@CROPOrg1 Tech upskilling is the footfold into the digital economy, quality jobs & family sustaining wages. @CROPOrg1 is here to make it happen! sfstandard.com/business/dare-…

#CROPOrg Systems, governments, and employers can all play a role in creating and providing more sustainable wage jobs for ppl with criminal histories.

@CROPOrg1 Reenty needs more funding & resources to support #holistic models that reduce siloed service delivery. #PeopleOverPunishment #NormalizeFairChance

@croporg1's Ready4Life program focuses on #holistic care and wraparound supports. These include personal leadership, earn&learn stipends, digital literacy training, workforce training for tech-focused careers, housing and employment placement programming #normalizesecondchances

@CROPOrg1 The "Success" I believe starts with the ReEntry Program/Org. My son is a "Felon". That box needs to be erased. No boxes. Let's start looking at the success rates. Believe in Second Chances 🙏
