#AB2483 by Assemblymember Elhawary would grant certifications to incarcerated firefighters so they can continue their firefighting careers after release.
This breaks down barriers to employment and recognizes the skills and sacrifice of the incarcerated firefighters who put their lives on the line.
SB 1004 just passed Senate Public Safety. California's ban on masked law enforcement now covers local, state, and federal agents. Courts confirmed it's constitutional. 30 states have similar bills in motion.
Cristine Soto DeBerry said it plainly: elections are sacred. The warrants behind this ballot seizure show what happens when accountability breaks down at the decision-making level. #AccountabilityNow

A California sheriff seized 650,000 ballots based on claims from an activist group — no verified fraud, no expert analysis, no insider witnesses. Newly unsealed warrants show how easily it happened.

Safety and second chances go hand in hand. Every day, people return home ready to work, rebuild, and contribute — and the communities that welcome them back are stronger for it. #JusticeReform #CommunityTrust
California's No Kings Act — SB 747 — gives people the same right to sue federal agents that they already have for state and local officials. First Amendment. Fourth Amendment. Equal protection. All of it. #AccountabilityNow
You can sue a local cop for violating your constitutional rights. You can't sue a federal agent for the same thing. That loophole has been wide open for years — and 18 states are now moving to close it. #NoKingsAct
As DOJ gets politicized and U.S. Attorney offices get gutted, state and local prosecutors are the backstop. Your DA and AG can open investigations, create evidence portals, protect victims. Build that relationship now. #RuleOfLaw
Masked federal agents are driving survivors away from the systems built to protect them. Reports are down. Cases are being dropped. Robyn Sordelett calls it what it is: a public safety crisis. #NoSecretPoliceAct #UnmaskInjustice
SB 627 was paused on one technical point — it covered federal and local officers but not state officers. The federal government itself pointed to the fix. SB 1004 applies the rule equally to everyone.

A retired U.S. Marshal who wore his badge for 40 years, put it plainly: "When law enforcement becomes anonymous to the very people they have sworn to serve, we have gone into a very dark place of mistrust."
Darius Reeves spent his career in law enforcement across the Bush, Obama, Biden, and first Trump administrations. He says what he's seeing now is "something I totally do not recognize." Former law enforcement officers across the country are backing him up.
"We have never worn masks my entire career."–That's from a a longtime ICE field office director who served under four presidents.
California's No Secret Police Act and similar legislation nationwide aim to ban masked law enforcement. The public safety includes a right to know who is policing them.
The fight for safety and transparency in our communities is more important than ever right now, which is why we urge Govenor Spanberger to sign these bills into law. Let’s finish the job. 💪⚖️
We're also supporting an immigration bill package, including VA SB352 by Senator Salim, which will ban law enforcement from hiding behind masks.
We're proud to support VA SB38 by Senator Favola and HB93 by Delegate Bennett-Parker, which will protect survivors by giving judges, attorneys, and law enforcement the tools needed to enforce current laws and ensure the safe and lawful transfer of deadly firearms.
Shouting out two important Virginia bills waiting to be signed by Governer Spanberger!
Incarcerated Californians already fight wildfires. They already complete fire training. AB 2483 certifies them for it — giving them credentials to build careers in fire service when they come home. #PublicSafety
Yale Law School + the Center for Policing Equity just published a playbook for cities resisting federal overreach: end secret policing, communicate with communities, hold federal authorities accountable. Every local leader needs this.

AB 2483 passed committee today. Formerly incarcerated firefighters fought California's deadliest fires — for years, for almost nothing. This bill gives them a real path to CAL FIRE careers after release. Long overdue. #PublicSafety
Before the Supreme Court, Sonia Sotomayor was a Manhattan prosecutor. She became the first Latina justice in history — and has spent decades writing opinions that center the people most affected by the law. #WomensHistoryMonth #ProsecutorsAlliance
California banned masked, unidentified officers — federal agents included. Dozens of states are advancing the same. Check our tracker to see what's moving near you.

$100M shortfall. That's what federal VOCA cuts left in California — fewer shelter nights, fewer counseling sessions, fewer survivors supported through the hardest moments of their lives. Newsom and the Legislature filled the gap two years running. Do it again. #VOCA
CA's incarcerated firefighters battled the wildfires. AB2483 would give them the certifications to keep doing it after release. #FirefightingToFreedom

Gun homicides had been falling since 2022. Researchers credit sustained investment in prevention. The Trump Administration just cut over $1 billion of those programs. Safe communities require prevention, not just prosecution. #PublicSafety

Prison fire crews do the same dangerous work as paid firefighters — but leave without the certs to get hired. AB 2483 fixes that, so their skills count on the outside.

From Maravilla to MALDEF to $3.4 billion granted for housing, education, and immigration. Antonia Hernández spent her career using the law to create change. Happy Women's History Month. 🌟 #WomensHistoryMonth
A federal law enforcement whistleblower just confirmed what many feared: ICE recruits are being taught to ignore the Fourth Amendment. California is pushing back. #NoKingsAct
