ORGANIZE
Californians for Safety and Justice and other community partners are conducting trainings across the state about Proposition 47 implementation. Our Training Manual, which provides all the information needed to educate your community about Proposition 47 and the record change process, is available to download below, and more resources (including educational videos, flyers and more) can be found here.
To request more information on having a training in your area, contact us at lamont@the villageprojectinc.org or Californians for Safety and Justice at at myprop47@safeandjust.org.
BRING NEW INVESTMENTS
Despite the importance of crime prevention and treatment to stop the cycle of crime, these strategies often suffer from a lack of investment. As our criminal justice priorities change, there is a big opportunity to invest in prevention and treatment at scale to improve community safety.
One of Proposition 47’s most promising opportunities is the reallocation of corrections funding to crime prevention and treatment. An independent state agency projects that Proposition 47 will produce hundreds of millions of dollars annually in savings at both the state level and among California’s counties.
The law allocates savings in state prison costs to local mental health and drug treatment programs at the community level, K-12 students, and trauma recovery services to help victims of crime. State and local officials must help ensure that savings in the state or county justice systems are reallocated to community-based treatment and prevention. Counties should also experience criminal justice cost savings and can allocate these savings as they see fit.
We need your help advocating for reallocation. To join our efforts to do just that, contact us at lamont@the villageprojectinc.org or Californians for Safety and Justice at at myprop47@safeandjust.org.
