In the next few months, Gov. Schwarzenegger will try again to build 25-30,000 more prison cells and 45,000 more jail cells. The City of Los Angeles is poised to hire 1,000 more police while cutting budgets for all other city services by 5 percent.

WHO CARES?
- People who think we need to spend more on affordable housing - People who oppose expanded ICE detention & deportations - People who voted to support drug treatment rather than prison time for nonviolent drug users - People who don't want to see another round of fee (tuition) increases at community colleges, CSU and UC used to pay for more prisons - People who think people coming out of prison need help to reintegrate themselves, not more punishment in the form of discrimination in employment, housing, education - People concerned about sending California prisoners to private pens out of state - People who want to see our public K-12 education system fully funded - People who want to restore funding to health care.
