Sacramento, CA. CARE Court Press conference & hearings information

April 25, 2022 by Jonathan Leave a Comment

Hi everyone,

First of all, let’s get the word out to all our peer advocates and contacts so we get a lot of people to show up in person for the press conference tomorrow.

Here’s a brief overview – please see attached documents for more details – some of them are still in draft form, but I wanted to get them out to you.

  1. Date & Time:  Sacramento on April 26th at 12 noon
  1. Place:  Area 27 on N St., between 12th and 13th streets  

3. Please RSVP if you’ll be able to join us in-person on April 26 in Sacramento for the CARE Court Press Conference: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/FH2GCJ8. (Information, logistics and other materials will be sent to you. Bring signs if you can!)

  1. Latest Schedule & Logistics (see attached document with more details – there may still be changes, but more details to come):
  • Hearings (SB 1338): (Note: There will no longer be any hearings for the Assembly bill – AB 2830)

April 26th – 10:00 am (meet at 9:15 am at 1021 O Street for Senate Judiciary. There may be a long line to get into the building).

Senate Judiciary Committee meets – 1021 O Street, Room 2200.

Senate Health Committee meets at 1021 O Street, Room 1200.

  1. To watch the hearings:

https://www.senate.ca.gov/committees
  • You can watch the hearings via livestream here: California State Senate.
  1. Telephone testimony (“Me-too’s”):
  • Senate Judiciary – Tuesday – 1-888-808-6929 and use Access Code 7362834 (NUMBER MIGHT CHANGE)
  • Senate Health – Wednesday – 1-888-251-2909 and use Access Code 7362832 (NUMBER MIGHT CHANGE)

*Tips for telephone testimony

7. Hashtags & Messaging for signs and social media:

The number one hashtag selected at the April 8th Townhall is:

#CareNotCourt

The next most popular hashtags have a two-way tie:

#HousingNotCourt

#NoToCareCourt

If you post on social media, we recommend trying to always tag it with #CareNotCourt for searchability and cohesion. Feel free to use the other two as well if they make sense with your post.

Other ideas:

  • Coercive care does not work
  • Housing Heals
  • No Forced Treatment
  • Disability is not a crime
  1. Talking Points (see attached documents: 1 with bullets, 1 with more details)
  1. Bathrooms & Amenities (see document above for more details)
  1. Unanswered CARE Court questions (see document above for questions that are not addressed by CARE Court legislation)
  1. Menu of Voluntary Treatment Options (see document above – can be used to show there are many alternative voluntary treatment options that are more effective than forced treatment)

There may be more information or changes to come, so I’ll provide any updates as they come up.

In Unity, Community & Solidarity,

Robyn

LAPD arrested LA CAN organizer Adam Smith inside City Hall while he was attempting to attend a public meeting — a clear attempt to intimidate and silence community voices.

Adam is facing a trespassing charge for simply showing up. Join us for court support and stick around after for some live music and to help film a music video.

We could write a whole article on the shit storm that has hit at the federal level and then reel off reactionary oppressive measures that local and state governments are imposing in response to the massive numbers of people they know damn well are going to be dying, suffering, hurting, living in the streets — and be mad as hell. https://conta.cc/4iWZe2j
