Take Action
CALL OR WRITE YOUR ASSEMBLY MEMBER NOW!
Late in the evening on August 30th, the California State Assembly defeated SB 399, just two votes shy of what was needed for passage. This is not the end of our fight for fair sentencing for youth, it’s the beginning. Your Assembly Member needs to know that people believe that vote was important. It might seem to you that making calls right now won’t make a difference, but that’s wrong: it will. People who oppose fair sentencing for youth are making calls right now. They’re letting Assembly Members know that they appreciate the no votes or don’t like the yes votes. If Members hear only from people who opposed SB 399, they won’t know that supporters will continue in this struggle. You can take one important step right now towards future success for fair sentencing: Let those Assembly Members who voted yes know you appreciate their leadership. Tell those who did not vote for the bill that you expect different vote the next time. Find out who represents you in the Assembly here. Call your representative and any of these listed below.
A call or fax is very quick. Click here for a form to fax a short letter. (There are two: one for those who voted yes and one for those who did not support the bill.)
If you call, for those listed below in green, you can say something like:
”I’m calling about SB 399. I saw that Assembly Member __________ voted yes for this bill. I want to thank him for his leadership in supporting fair sentencing for youth in California.”
For those listed below in red or blue, you can say something along the lines of:
”I am calling about SB 399. I am very disappointed that Assembly Member ___________ did not vote for this bill. Please let her know that I hope she will support fair sentencing for youth in California in the future.”
