How Proposition 36 convinced Californians to vote against their political views

CALMATTERS, Michelle Parris, November 8, 2024 - “Many are asking: Is the movement for criminal justice reform in California dead? The answer is no.

At Vera Action, where I coordinate our California justice work, we’ve conducted public polling to learn what Californians want from their elected officials. Time and again, our polling shows that voters consistently want policies that will establish safety and justice in their communities — not fearmongering.

Californians want to ensure there is treatment for addiction, address the housing crisis and make our state more affordable for all.” . . . [SOURCE]
