CURB & the Ella Baker Center: SB94 Power Hour

5 Times/Day to choose from – May 8/9/11/15/17 • Online

These two organizations work tirelessly– and quite successfully– to advance Justice Reform in California.  SB94 is an important sentence review bill that has made it to the last vote in the State Legislature and just needs one final big push.  YOU CAN HELP!About SB 94 (Cortese): 

SB 94, Judicial Review of Old Sentences, authored by Senator Cortese, would create rigorous sentencing review for some individuals serving life without parole for offenses committed before June 6, 1990, and who have served at least 25 years of their sentence. Courts will review evidence of mitigating factors and rehabilitation, and judges will have the discretion to leave the sentence unchanged or to resentence the person with parole eligibility.

The bill has made its way through the legislature and has one last vote on the Assembly Floor.  We anticipate a vote in the coming weeks, as the political landscape has shifted back to old “tough on crime” narratives, it is more important than ever that the Assemblymembers experience an outpouring of support on this vital bill. 

Sign-up to Join a Power Hour on Zoom: We will meet on zoom and walk you through the details of the bill and provide you with template emails, phone scripts to contact your Assemblymember, letters of support and resources to mobilize your friends and family to take action!
