Join us for an informative and proactive forum regarding accountability for criminals, and treatment for individuals in our neighborhoods with mental health and drug abuse issues.

Featured Speaker

Assemblywoman Laurie Davies, candidate for Assembly District 74.  Davies is the Co-Chair of the Yes on Prop 36 campaign for Assembly District 74.  “As I speak with my constituents, one thing is very clear…Californians do not feel safe anymore!  That’s why I am honored to serve as a Co-Chair for the ‘Yes on Prop 36’ campaign,...This initiative will restore law and order to our state by holding criminals, drug dealers, and felons accountable for their actions and provide law enforcement with the tools they need to protect our families and communities.  Criminals have been given a get-out-of-jail-free card for too long.  It’s time we pass Proposition 36 and change that.”  Visit here to learn more about Assemblywoman Laurie Davies.

Background

"Punishment for Felonies.  A felony is the most serious type of crime.  People can be sentenced to county jail or state prison for felonies, depending on the crime and their criminal history.  In some cases, people can be supervised in the community by a county probation officer instead of serving some or all of their sentence in jail or prison.  This is called county community supervision.  The length of a sentence mostly depends on the crime.  For example, murder can be punished by 15 years or more in prison.  In contrast, selling drugs can be punished by up to five years in jail or prison, depending on the drug.  Sentences can also be lengthened due to details of the crime. For example, sentences for selling certain drugs (such as fentanyl, heroin, cocaine, or methamphetamine) can be lengthened based on the amount sold." (Legislative Analyst's Office)

"California’s violent crime rate increased by 5.7%, from 468 crimes per 100,000 residents in 2021 to 495 in 2022. While the rates for robbery (theft with force) and aggravated assault increased by 9.9% and 5.2%, respectively, homicides reversed a two-year upward trend, dropping by 6.1%, and rapes remained essentially the same (0.1% decrease)." (Public Policy Institute of California)

6% of all children in the U.S. will find themselves in the foster care system before they turn 18.  There are approximately 430,000 children in foster care.  50% of the U.S. homeless population spend time in foster care. (Foster Love).  The main reasons children enter foster care are neglect, drug use, and abuse by parents.  Research has consistently shown that nearly 1 in 5 foster care youth are part of the LGBTQ community.  In many circumstances, being LGBTQ is a part of the reason that they are in foster care.
