The passing of Prop 36 would redirect funds back into punitive measures and the carceral system. It will also strip vital funds from community-based solutions, such as diversion, mental health, drug treatment, and housing—solutions that have a track record of creating safety.

Vote NO on Prop 36! As the election quickly approaches, it’s urgent that we vote for the safety and care of our communities. Prop 36 is a harmful measure that will only further marginalize and criminalize Black and Latinx communities and expand mass incarceration.

Gun violence is preventable. We cannot accept this as the norm for our young people. Our hearts are with the Apalachee High community. Everybody deserves safety. #EndGunViolence

It’s been less than a month since school started again—four people were shot and killed and nine wounded by gun violence. Schools should be a safe place for students to learn without fear of violence.

UPI hosted a CVI Certification Training for peacemakers in Fresno! Four community-based orgs participated and 12 peacemakers were certified. Ongoing professional training is essential to building out a community-based safety infrastructure across the country!
