My absentee ballot, requested with way more than enough time to spare, still hasn’t arrived and it’s impossible for me to drop it off if/when it does. I did everything I’m supposed to do and I’ve ostensibly been denied a vote. Feels great. https://twitter.com/ariberman/status/1321060511245606914

Anyway if you’re in Cali, vote YES on Prop 17 (restoring voting rights for those w felony convictions), NO on Prop 20 (carceral expansion), YES on Prop 21 (local rent control), NO on Prop 22 (exploitative conditions for gig workers), and NO on Prop 25 (worse alts. to cash bail).

The use of racist algorithms + discriminatory risk assessment systems is not a positive alternative to the awful system of cash bail. It’s a completely shitty false set of binary options. Cash bail unquestionably has to end, but this isn’t it. http://criticalresistance.org/california-vote-no-on-prop-25/
