VOTE NO on PROP 36 - teach-in online

Join ACLU Northern California for a virtual event on Thursday, September 12 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. to hear from speakers from different sectors about why they’re organizing to STOP Prop 36!

The campaign to stop Prop 36 is building momentum and the opposition to this dangerous ballot measure is growing. Community organizations, small businesses, labor unions, public officials, and Californians across the state, just like you, are coming together to protect the programs that have been proven to advance real public safety.

Your ACLU team is organizing in your community to secure endorsements from elected
officials, community leaders, and organizations and to build power to turn out voters to vote
NO on Prop 36.

Proposition 36 is a terrible measure on the November 5 ballot that would make Californians less safe by eliminating programs that have significantly reduced recidivism and racial disparities across the criminal legal system.

This misguided ballot measure would lead to BILLIONS in more spending on prisons, jails, and court costs and provides no new funding for drug treatment or homelessness prevention.

The more voters hear about Prop 36 the less they like it. Californians are eager for real solutions that address root causes of issues facing our communities. We believe a better world is possible and Prop 36 is just more of the same failed policies and false promises of the past.

Join us to learn more on VOTE NO on PROP 36!

§ACLU: Why You Should Vote NO on Prop 36

Prop 36 makes California less safe!

Proposition 36 is a California ballot initiative for November 2024. It is a prison spending scam.

Proponents of the Mass Incarceration Ballot Measure seek to roll back progress that the ACLU and our partners have made to prioritize treatment and services over incarceration for certain drug and theft-related offenses over the past decade.

It reignites the failed war on drugs, makes simple drug possession a felony, and wastes tens of millions of dollars on jails and prisons, while slashing crucial funding for victims, crime prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation.

While we must continue to make changes to our criminal justice system, and address fentanyl and retail crime, Prop 36 is the wrong answer. It will slash desperately needed mental health services, and spend billions more on prisons.

CUTS

Prop 36 will cut hundreds of millions from successful programs, including:

--Cuts to mental health and substance abuse treatment

--Cuts to trauma recovery services for survivors of crime

--Cuts to programs for K-12 public school students.

SPENDING

Prop 36 will cost the state billions in new prison and jail spending – the biggest prison spending increase in California history.

Real problems, wrong solution! Communities are facing real problems, including problems related to substance use, retail theft, housing, and economic hardship. Prop 36 exploits valid community concerns and provides a false, harmful solution.
