If you have a loved one that’s in jail because they couldn’t afford the bail, they have a new way to push for their release! A new CA Supreme Court case called “Kowalczyk” says judges can’t detain ppl on unattainable bail! Push the attorney to advocate for their release!✊🏾💪🏾

"A group of civil rights orgs is ratcheting up the legal pressure on San Jose over longstanding complaints that too often mental health-related emergency calls receive a police response — rather than assistance from mental health professionals." @svdebug

Sometimes at our weekly ACJP participatory defense mtgs at De-Bug, the victories are especially moving. This is a movement that will free our people. Slow-cooking, when no one’s looking, a consistent drumbeat marching forward when the world expects resignation - type movement.

De-Bug response to Mahan's disastrous budget San Jose message. In the face of a deficit, the Mayor wants take money out of permanent housing & needed social services & pour it into police, landlords, & developers. That's not our San Jose he's protecting.

“That list goes on and on of people from our communities that we had seen killed, and at what point do we do something about that? So all of those things led to that moment and how do we create a better future for our people?” @kaepernick7

Listen to this anonymous testimony from someone who had their loved one released from Elmwood County Jail to reunite with his family when ICE agents were waiting for him and detained him. He is 1 of 46 people kidnapped while being released from Elmwood.

Santa Clara County DA Jeff Rosen warns proposed budget cuts could impact safety and justice. Critics argue that redirecting funds towards mental health, housing, and community health could be more effective in maintaining public safety.

Santa Clara County electeds have said they will protect the community from ICE. Yet despite these declarations they have allowed a continuing ICE operation at the jail that has led to 46 ppl being taken. We can’t allow that, and call on the county to put actions to their words.✊🏾

When we said #NoICEintheBay we meant it- and that includes stopping ICE from kidnapping people from the jail lobby, separating families, and sending our loved ones to detention death centers. #ProtectYourPeople

The Santa Clara County jail, under a consent decree, is facing a contempt motion for failing to provide adequate medical care. Rudy Cuevas reports from inside the facility on how the issues are the same as years ago.

Update, as of today there have now been 46 ppl taken at the Santa Clara County Jail by ICE. For the Super Bowl, elected officials, advocates, the community was unified in saying No ICE in the Bay. For us, that also means No ICE taking ppl from the jail!
