Our current money bail system is fundamentally broken. SB 10 and AB 42 will fix it in California. "We know that money bail doesn’t necessarily increase public safety — a key objective for any prosecutor. Nearly half of the highest-risk defendants use money bail to go home . . . Requiring people to pay money prior to their release does not make them more likely to return to court"

With money bail, system continues to criminalize poverty

Maranda O'Donnell sat in jail for three days last year because she couldn't pay $2,500 bail. She was arrested for driving with an invalid license.

The ban on Transgender Americans is unlawful and discriminatory. It is an attack on those making the ultimate sacrifice. Another unconstitutional policy delivered by tweet. Transgender rights are human rights. #StandWithTransTroops

Everyone recognizes that our current money bail system is fundamentally broken. Fixing it should be a non-partisan priority. Thank you U.S. Senator Kamala Harris and Senator Rand Paul for your leadership!

Congratulations to my good friend Judge Ben Reyes! He is now the Honorable-- a Superior Court Judge in Contra Costa County! Ben will make a superb member of the judiciary. His story is California's story. His father came to the United States from the Philippines to serve in the U.S. Navy. At the time, Filipinos could only work as stewards or cooks. Through education, hard work, perseverance, and making his opportunities count, Ben is now donning the black robe of the judiciary and taking his rightful seat on the Bench to deliver justice every day in service to the People. Because of his life experiences, warm heart, and compassion, I know Ben will be a thoughtful jurist and one who will turn those vital character traits into stronger decision-making that will impact the lives of countless Californians for the better. We are all very proud of and happy for you, Ben!
