"The work to end slavery is not complete." Dr. Gina M. Fromer, PhD, our President and CEO, emphasized the ongoing fight to end forced labor during yesterday's rally at City Hall in support of Proposition 6, which aims to abolish this practice in California's prisons and jails. Elected Officials, Supervisor Dean Preston and Assemblymember Matt Haney along with community members came together to confront this issue. Andra Gadson, our Field Manager for the Reverend Cecil Williams Ambassador program, shared, "Throughout my time in prison, I received extra time and was written up for refusing mandatory jobs." His experience highlights the urgent need to end exploitation and how rehabilitation is critical for allowing formerly incarcerated people to return to society. Voting YES on Prop 6 is essential for creating a humane system prioritizing rehabilitation over exploitation. Vote YES on 6! #RehabilitationOverExploitation #VoteYesOnProp6 #GlideInAction
