Thanks for all those who attended our fundraiser last weekend for Prop 34 (aka, the put our friends in capital defense out-of-work party), the ballot initiative to replace the death penalty in California with life imprisonment without the possibility of parole and save the state $184 Million annually in the process. Thanks to the efforts of my cohorts, Sacramento County Assistant Public Defenders Amanda Benson and Mickey Sampson and the generous support of many, we exceeded our fundraising goals and had a lot of fun in the process. For those who still wish to donate, now is the time as donations through the end of July are matched by a generous supporter. Donate online here or find other ways to help at Safe Campaign California.
