BREAKING: Governor Newsom just signed SB 1004. Law enforcement in California can no longer hide behind masks, federal agents included. We have the right to know who is policing us. Unmask injustice. Share this. #UnmaskInjustice

Governor Newsom just signed the No Kings Act. Federal agents can finally be sued if they violate your rights as a Californian, just like any local or state officer. More states are coming in 2027. 🏛️ #NoKingsAct #GavinNewsom #CaliforniaLaw #CivilRights

BREAKING: Governor Newsom just signed SB 747 into law. Federal agents, state officials, local police: if they violate your constitutional rights, you can now take them to court. Authority no longer comes with immunity. Thank you, Sen. Wiener, and every partner who stood up. #NoKingsAct

BREAKING: Governor Newsom signed AB 2483 last night, opening a path for formerly incarcerated firefighters to get certified and keep fighting fires after release. They worked the front lines while incarcerated. Now they can build a career. #FirefightingtoFreedom

Newsom has until Sept 30 to sign SB 747, the No Kings Act — giving Californians the right to sue federal agents for excessive force, unlawful searches, and retaliation. It's passed. Only his signature is left. Call 916-445-2841. Tell him to sign it. #NoKingsAct

The Crime Victims Fund is running critically low, and survivor programs are cutting staff, reducing services, and closing doors. The bipartisan Crime Victims Fund Stabilization Act fixes it with non-taxpayer dollars. The House passed it unanimously. Call your Senator: 202-224-3121 #VOCA

Prosecutors answer to the voters who elect them. In 45 of 50 states, communities choose their prosecutors. Attacks on that independence are attacks on democracy. Read the report here: prosecutorsallianceaction.org/prosecutoria...

Newsom signed the No Secret Police Act. Then a loophole let a federal judge block it for ICE and Border Patrol. SB 1004 closes that gap — same rule for every officer, state, local, federal. Call Newsom. Tell him to sign it and finish the job. #NoSecretPoliceAct #UnmaskInjustice

SB 1004, the No Secret Police Act, passed the CA legislature and heads to Governor Newsom. It strengthens last year's ban on masked policing, so every agency — federal, state, and local — answers to our communities. Let's get it signed. #NoSecretPoliceAct

AB 464 just passed the CA legislature and is headed to Newsom's desk. It lets incarcerated survivors sue CDCR staff who assault them, even after release. It bans abusers from future department jobs and requires retaliation monitoring after reports. Survivors deserve protection. #AccountabilityNow

Unmarked trucks blocked their car. Four masked men surrounded them, guns drawn, refusing to say who they were. One broke a window and punched Daniel's father-in-law. As they drove off, an agent opened fire. SB 1004 and SB 747 are heading to the Assembly floor. Push your Assemblymember. #CAleg

🚨 SB 1004 and SB 747 just cleared the CA Assembly Appropriations Committee and are heading to a floor vote. SB 1004 bans law enforcement from masking their identity on the job. SB 747 lets Californians hold federal officers accountable for violating constitutional rights. #CAleg

Nearly 2,000 incarcerated Californians train to fight wildfires. Get released, and none of that training counts toward a firefighting job. AB 2483 fixes that — creating official certification for fire camp training. Not a guaranteed job. Just a real shot. 🔥 #CAleg

A federal court confirmed the state can ban law enforcement from masking during operations. But it said that ban has to apply to every level, not just local and federal. SB 1004 fixes that, adding state officers to close the gap the court flagged. #SB1004 #RuleOfLaw

Federal immigration agents have shot and killed more than 10 people this administration. The accounts keep falling apart under scrutiny, and no one independent is reviewing these shootings. State and local prosecutors have to fill that gap. #AccountabilityNow

A federal judge paused CA's ban on masked federal agents. Why: SB 627 covered local and federal officers but skipped state officers, and the court called that unfair to the feds. Good news — the court says masking bans are legal if applied evenly. SB 1004 fixes the gap. Vote yes. #SB1004

Royal Ramey served two seasons as an incarcerated firefighter, came home in 2014, and still hit hurdle after hurdle getting hired. Now his program has placed 360+ people in fire jobs since 2018 — 75 at CalFire. AB 2483 builds that pipeline. Almost across the finish line. #AB2483

Incarcerated firefighters train and risk their lives on California's fire lines. Then get released and hit a wall — no path to certification, no way to keep doing the job. AB 2483 fixes that. #AB2483

Incarcerated Californians have fought our worst wildfires for nearly a century. They come home with no certificate, no job prospects, nothing to show for it. AB 2483 builds a permanent pathway into CAL FIRE careers for formerly incarcerated crew members. Next stop: Senate Appropriations. #AB2483

Masked police create terror, not safety. SB 1004 bans masked policing in CA, keeping exemptions for SWAT, health needs, and undercover work. It targets agencies running what Sen. Scott Wiener calls "terror campaigns" on communities. #NoSecretPolice

Accountability tools only work when used honestly. For a decade, they haven't been. Removal statutes and oversight commissions — built to catch misconduct — now punish prosecutors for declining the death penalty or prosecuting police. prosecutorsallianceaction.org/prosecutorial-independence

The FBI was told to stop investigating ICE agents accused of assault. Per NYT, those cases now go to HSI — ICE's own unit, with no jurisdiction over civil rights violations. Days after ICE killed two people in Houston and Maine. Accountability, not impunity.

Last year we passed the No Secret Police Act — the first law banning masked law enforcement. A federal court blocked it because it didn't cover every level of policing. SB 1004 closes that loophole. Local, state, federal — every officer shows their face. #NoSecretPoliceAct #AccountabilityNow

CA Senator Jesse Arreguin: cops, deputies, ICE agents — if you're doing the job, you don't get to hide your face doing it. For over a year, Californians have watched masked agents pull people off the street into vans. SB 1004 ends that. #NoSecretPoliceAct

The Emancipation Proclamation was signed in 1863. Enslaved people in Texas didn't learn they were free until June 19, 1865. Two and a half years between law and justice. Independent prosecutors are how that gap closes today. Happy Juneteenth. #Juneteenth
