Hochman is exploiting a crisis to push failed policies. Instead of helping wildfire victims, he’s using “looting” fears to justify harsh sentencing & mass incarceration. Let’s break down what he’s NOT telling you. 🧵👇

Time for a fact check on SB 94. ✅A small population of the most elderly inmates are eligible ✅Their recidivism rate is 0% ✅Bill doesn’t automatically let people out of prison. It’s judicial review to consider those who have fully rehabilitated ✅Saves 100s of millions tax 💵

The same person who wants to pardon a white man convicted of murdering a Black Lives Matter protestor also thinks it's a bad idea to let CA judges take a second look at extreme sentences mainly served by people of color?  This is why we need #SB94: justice is NOT meted fairly.

DA Gascón keeping promises. "Former Dist. Atty. Jackie Lacey cleared both officers of wrongdoing in 2018, but the case was one of four her successor, George Gascón, promised to reopen after he was elected in 2020" latimes.com/california/sto…

Gov. Abbott trying to look tough after attempting to pardon a man convicted of killing a Black Lives Matter protestor. My SB 94 gives a small population of elderly people a chance to prove to a judge that they are fully rehabilitated after serving at least 2 decades in prison.

🧵: Our demands for @LACountyBOS are clear: 👇🏾 4️⃣ Fund #YouthJustice Reimagined by shifting $75 million out of #Probation job vacancies as part of the #CareFirst Budget - to build housing, job training, education access, and youth centers. #FreeOurYouth

🧵: Our demands for @LACountyBOS are clear: 👇🏾 1️⃣ Close Men’s Central Jail (MCJ) by reducing the jail population to less than 8,000 people, and use the funds for real community-based preventative care! #CareFirst #YouthJusticeReimagined #CloseMCJ #ReimagineLA
