YES on Prop 6

All workers must have dignity and the freedom to make decisions about their work. We can end involuntary servitude for prisoners in California. Proposition 6 will amend the California Constitution by removing the slavery clause that currently allows involuntary servitude as a punishment for crime.

No on Prop 36

Prop 36 wants to take us back to the days of overpopulated jails by reclassifying simple drug possession as a felony. If passed, Prop 36 will take hundreds of millions of dollars away from mental health and trauma recovery services, as well as K-12 programs for students.
