Hello ,

We all are grieving the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. 2020 seems to have one body blow after the other. This is the one we all hoped wouldn't happen. But it did. Getting back the Senate is more important now than ever before. Gilead looms ahead if we don't. I want my Handmaid's Tale costume to stay a costume.

When: Monday, September 21: Meeting starts at 6:30 PM but please start checking in at 6:00 PM, to help us get the meeting started on time.

Where: Zoom registration is required – if you’re a clubmember or participant click here to register ahead of time. All of the details on how to join will be provided – including dial-in details from a landline.

Our meetings are available live on our YouTube channel. Someone will monitor the chat to text into the meeting relevant questions or comments that may be asked there.

Program Senate Bill 731

Policies, Politics and Next Steps

Senate Bill 731, which would have allowed "bad officers" to be permanently stripped of their badges, failed to pass the California Legislature in August 2020 as state lawmakers could not muster enough support to pass one of the year's top policing reform bills.

The measure would have created a way to decertify officers found to have committed serious misconduct. But the bill could not overcome vehement objections from law enforcement organizations that the proposed system is biased and lacks basic due process protections. Five states currently have no way of decertifying poor police officers - California, Hawaii, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
