The community came out to demand City Council fund a People’s Budget! Over 80 people testified, telling city leadership this is not a moment for tax cuts for massive corporations while gutting the public services that keep our communities truly safe.

Today our medical release bill passed House Judiciary! We're one step closer to allowing very ill incarcerated to be cared for at home by family and saving taxpayer dollars. Huge thanks to Reps. Krajewski & Ecker and all who voted yes. On to the full House-let’s get this done!
