Details: "Call to Action - Join community members across California in urging your state senator to vote YES on #SB300 at the Senate Floor Vote.

SB 300, The Sentencing Reform Act of 2021, will address California’s unjust “felony murder special circumstance” law by ensuring that the death penalty or life without parole (LWOP) cannot be imposed on a person who did not kill, nor intend for anyone to die, during a crime. SB 300 will also ensure that life without parole is NEVER a mandatory minimum sentence in California."

Please pass the word on! You never know who has been unable to pay rent…

Because of statewide activism and your support, the current modified state rent relief program allows eligible tenants to receive 100% of the past-due rent they owe. If you owe any back rent from March 2020 to the present, please apply as soon as you can! If your application is approved and you receive rent relief funds, your landlord cannot evict you over that rent, even after many COVID-19 tenant protections expire on October 1, 2021.
