The Library plan will negatively affect students, faculty, researchers, library workers, and other UCB community members. @UCAFT @FacultyBerkeley @CalYDSA @sruuaw @UAW5810 @uaw2865 @IBTlocal2010 🧵
UC Berkeley Library has announced plans for long-term reduced services due to a reduced budget and smaller workforce. The proposal includes a model where six “satellite” libraries offer reduced services and two libraries offer services by appointment only dailycal.org/2022/10/04/uc-b…

For decades, families have skipped rent, meals, dr visits to afford a call with a loved one inside. It would cost $13M, or just 0.09% of CDCR’s $14B budget, to make calls FREE, connect families, improve reentry, increase public safety. @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom sign SB1008 today!

Day 1 strike. It didn't have to be this way. Administration forced our hand. For many Faculty, this is their first strike. They are scared, but are fighting for themselves and for you...our students. Justice will prevail.

New in @LATimes: @AnneStuhldreher asks, what's the best way for @GavinNewsom to invest in low-income Californians with our $31B budget surplus?
It's simple: wean California off our reliance on fines & fees to fund gov't.
And here's how we can do it:🧵

BREAKING: Our new report w/ @CaDebtJustice shows that $300 hidden court fees, called civil assessments, penalize Californians for being poor.
This is a critical economic & racial justice issue.

@brandonlgreene of @CaDebtJustice on why @GavinNewsom needs to eliminate the civil assessment, "California does a good job of talking and making policies that look good on paper, but now isn’t the time to be skittish when we could be bold.” ⚖️👏

Okay, it’s not out yet, but since it is Black History Month, and Biden is promising we’ll have a Black woman on the S.Ct soon, and it’s available for pre-order, can I go ahead and plug this book? So proud of this, y’all!

Please join us for a conversation about monetary sanctions. I’ll share recent research and talk about implications for policy reform. Help us have an engaging conversation to build the momentum for real change.@Vera institute
Once someone enters into the criminal legal system, the costs add up quickly—effectively creating a tax on residents who are least able to pay.
Join us on 2/8 for "Monetary Sanctions: Still a Pound of Flesh" with author and researcher @AlexesHarris.
