The Chair of the Assembly Appropriations Committee, Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher, has supported bail reform and is an amazing advocate for working families and mothers, climate change, and voting rights. She supports fixing our bail system, but with increasing pressure from the bail lobby to block or water it down, we want to make sure she keeps the bill as strong as possible.
Can you call Assemblymember Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher at (619) 338-8090 to thank her for her support so far, and urge her to keep the bail bill as strong as possible?
Here's what you can say:

All of our chapters in California - SoCal, Bay Area, South Bay and San Luis Obispo - have been organizing phone banks, lobby visits, petition drives, press work, public events and more to pass SB 10.
Now, they need your help right now to call the Assembly Appropriations Chair to push this bill over its next hurdle.
