A message from Executive Director Maya Harris concerning the vote in the California Senate today on SB 1019:

I'm thrilled to report a victory today in our campaign to Restore Access to Police Records!

 

In a 21-10 vote, the California State Senate passed SB 1019, a critical bill authored by Senator Gloria Romero, which would overturn the Copley Press decision and restore public access to police misconduct records.

This victory would not have been possible without ACLU-NC activists and our coalition partners. Thank you for calling, faxing, and visiting your senators! Your activism truly made all the difference.

Now, we're on to the Assembly Public Safety Committee and then to the Governor's desk. Stay tuned for campaign updates and more opportunities to get involved.
