Stop the Runner Initiative!
Launched: June 6, 2008
This Action Expired: June 11, 2008
Description:
California State Senator George Runner (R-Antelope Valley) has teamed up with Henry Nicholas (main funder of the Three Strikes Law and other "law and order" crime statutes that unfairly target our communities) to place on this November's ballot an initiative that will direct billions of California dollars to police, prisons, and probation; sentence youth as young as 14 years old as adults; erode civil liberties and target communities of color, immigrants and low-income families, among many other flawed provisions.
Join the fight to STOP the Runner Initiative.
On Wednesday, June 11th, the Los Angeles City Council will be deciding whether to officially oppose this flawed proposal. We need your help to pass the Cardenas-Parks resolution.
