My Biological Mother survived a rape at 16 years old, became pregnant, and gave me up for adoption at birth…
I grew up to become one of the youngest elected officials in California State History and I am unapologetically Pro Choice.
Here is why:

.@DrKnuckyEsq of @ProjectKnucky: "We're at a point now where we've realized prisons aren't really ... the best place. They aren't really trauma-informed, they're trauma-inducing. ... Progress would be doing something that's actually responsive to the youth." #ProgressNotPrisons

Take action to support #AB901 so that students are #freetolearn in #schoolsnotprison in CA! Student referrals to law enforcement are increasing statewide because of these “voluntary probation” programs bringing “at risk” youth into the system. #FreeTheYouth
#AB901 will ensure youth are referred to community programs to address school-related and behavioral problems without involving the criminal justice system. #FreeToLearn

Catch me on BET this Sunday on #FindingJustice alongside @studentsnotsuspects & @la_studentsdeserve in our fight to #EndRandomSearches! Schools are confiscating items like afropicks and hand sanitizer while depriving students of thousands of hours of learning #StudentsNotSuspects – at Los Angeles, CA

We just published this report on access to counselors, nurses, psychologists, & social workers in 90,000+ public schools. We found a crisis with 90% of schools failing to meet ratios recommended by experts.
We also reviewed school police & school arrests data. #CounselorNotCops
Three million students are in schools with police and no nurses.
Our new report reveals that the real crisis in schools: a nationwide failure to hire enough support staff to serve students’ mental and physical health needs. aclu.org/copsandnocounselors
