By Skyler Henry This absence was felt most keenly as several officials wondered aloud why people might be hesitant to accept offered services, as that question could have been answered directly by perhaps 100 people within a one block radius of where the meeting was taking place. To her credit, Councilmember Caity Maple was the lone voice out of a couple dozen to note this obvious disparity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/72b0f6d9-2a78-4567-b7cd-14ae630d4b09/Screenshot+2025-10-31+at+4.36.08%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - Sacramento Leaders Team Up to Acknowledge That Homelessness is a Problem. By Skyler Henry Also notable was the emphasis on reactive measures to homelessness rather than preventative, and the refusal by many of our elected leaders to tie homelessness to housing. Sheriff Cooper and County District Attorney Thien Ho took the opportunity to bemoan the passage of Prop 47, and how it has made it nearly impossible to arrest our way out of homelessness (despite being watered down significantly by the passage of Prop 36 last year). One by one, mayors, supervisors, and councilmembers all took turns pondering what could be done about unhoused people refusing services offered, and how to force unwilling people into treatment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/9d913de0-ebb9-4f10-ad52-b5282de50fb8/Screenshot+2025-10-31+at+4.39.17%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - Sacramento Leaders Team Up to Acknowledge That Homelessness is a Problem.

By Skyler Henry Overall, the most positive takeaway from this historic event is that it happened at all. The idea of bringing countywide leadership together to discuss the issue (a bargain for the taxpayers at only $75,000!) is at the very least something that hasn’t been tried before, and after years of the county and city pointing fingers at each other it’s heartening to see everyone sitting at the same table. https://www.socialjusticesac.org/blog/mccartys-ugly-record-on-homelessness monthly 0.5 2025-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/9eb1c499-116e-4295-a462-a48aac413fed/SAC_0129_241012_City_Counci.jpeg Blog - NOT VERY CUTE: McCarty’s Ugly Record on Homelessness (and other topics) - 12/10/24 McCarty is sworn in and takes the oath of office. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/426990f2-360f-4525-9e4b-97de3c342e64/unnamed.png Blog - NOT VERY CUTE: McCarty’s Ugly Record on Homelessness (and other topics) - 02/18/25 McCarty votes with the majority of the Council (on the Truxel Bridge Concept and Feasibility Study) to invest in increasing car-dependent infrastructure.

It only took him four months…At the meeting, different forms of shelter and long-term housing are considered, but more clarity is needed regarding how these housing options will run. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/2ea9fbf9-a0f6-4529-bd4b-bca4be57b79c/unnamed+%282%29.jpg Blog - NOT VERY CUTE: McCarty’s Ugly Record on Homelessness (and other topics) - 07/01/25 McCarty proposes an ordinance, which passes 6 to 3 , on 7/29/25 (with Councilmembers Vang, Kaplan & Maple voting no) which bans people from sitting or lying down (“sit/lie” ban) outside City Hall facilities at night. This ban used to apply only during the day. This is extremely predatory towards unhoused people, and only further criminalizes not having a place to go at night, instead of offering viable, safe alternatives. https://www.socialjusticesac.org/blog/iqbg4vjzbdwne3njz2mdo1iopf39ep monthly 0.5 2025-08-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/8874c0a4-740b-41a5-8e99-bcb7f179a701/Screen+Shot+2025-06-17+at+3.58.56+PM.jpg Blog - Say Hello To Another Subpar Budget - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/a14379df-b619-4dd0-ab74-53b0b20508af/Screenshot+2025-06-17+174316.png Blog - Say Hello To Another Subpar Budget - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/72bbadee-4b81-40a4-8f44-ae9eed183927/Screen+Shot+2025-06-17+at+1.24.00+PM.jpg Blog - Say Hello To Another Subpar Budget - Make it stand out Flo Cofer makes a public comment at the 06/10/25 City Council meeting https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/fa28f17c-ebbb-41cb-ac2d-ff01b04f2e6f/cq5dam.web.1500.1500.jpeg Blog - Say Hello To Another Subpar Budget - Make it stand out Here is a layout of the yearly budget process.

Councilmember Dickinson (pictured here) asks, and it is important to emphasize this, why do we need to charge tenants of the micro-communities if they are cheaper for the city than the more expensive emergency shelters that, of course, don’t charge the people staying in them [as of now]? https://www.socialjusticesac.org/blog/sac-homeless-meaningless-metrics monthly 0.5 2025-03-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/109ea3c3-3b43-48e1-b491-de8460028393/brian.png Blog - Meaningless Metrics & Empty Promises from Mayor McCarty - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/5f817fb4-3532-4c25-ae46-57ea7eb77958/buckets.png Blog - Meaningless Metrics & Empty Promises from Mayor McCarty - Make it stand out Above are the 4 benchmark categories presented in the Department of Community Response’s slide deck https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/0e03becb-6ca7-4b39-9e9b-5a3281fff373/Screenshot+2025-03-23+103806.png Blog - Meaningless Metrics & Empty Promises from Mayor McCarty - It’s worth noting one thing that the city IS spending money on, since worthwhile solutions to the crisis of homelessness are clearly not among them. The city has been maintaining a contract with a private company, Forensiclean, to “clean the streets,” which involves a lot of blatant mistreatment and cruelty towards unhoused folks. The image on the left is pulled from the homepage of Forensiclean’s website. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/0953e9d6-b172-4581-8892-eafa868bd6c3/Screenshot+2025-03-23+101917.png Blog - Meaningless Metrics & Empty Promises from Mayor McCarty - Interestingly, Mayor McCarty says that he will FINALLY agendize homelessness for discussion in a future meeting…which is funny, because during his campaign, he actually promised to agendize homelessness at every single city council meeting, something we have yet to see happen at all!

Howard Chan has been Sacramento City Manager since 2017, and oversees around 5,000 employees as well as the City’s operating budget of more than $1.4 billion. In short, he has a lot of power. This is the full description of Howard Chan’s role as City Manager: “The City Manager is the chief executive officer of the City and is responsible for the leadership and direction of all operations, programs, and services, per City Charter. The City Manager facilitates the implementation of Council’s policies and priorities, provides policy recommendations to the Council concerning the annual budget, future needs of the City, and oversight of all City departments.” What’s especially relevant to this write-up is the fact that the City Manager is in charge of managing the City’s budget. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/aaa4b110-9bb5-4ea1-8a75-7cf47454aea2/Chanpay.png Blog - City budget part 1: The Audacity of Howard Chan - Make it stand out Data pulled from transparentcalifornia.com https://www.socialjusticesac.org/blog/mai-vang-community-steward monthly 0.5 2024-09-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/59fead29-d733-414b-928f-71e107eba2b7/Screenshot+2024-08-28+at+1.07.17%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - Sacramento City Councilmember Mai Vang & Being a Community Steward The following write-up captures a conversation between SJPC’s Editor and newly re-elected District 8 Sacramento City Councilmember, Mai Vang.

Jennifer approaches social work through an intersectional and trauma-informed lens, recognizes that there are bigger systems at play that impact people’s health, and works to use social work - and more specifically training future social workers - to find ways to meet people where they’re at, provide them with all the beneficial skills/resources possible, and if that’s not possible, provide a safe space for them be heard and feel supported. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/9012ef27-a07b-4290-adb2-1d66ea7f98de/Screenshot+2024-08-28+at+2.57.41%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - Social Work and the Importance of Staying Curious - Yes, we actually brought Stephanie Covington (pictured right) in [during Jennifer’s time working at the halfway house]. She is a social worker who got her PhD at Columbia and she does a lot of work with women, trauma informed care, substance use, and also women who are impacted by the legal system (she is kind of a big deal). We brought her in for a whole week to instruct us what to do, tell us how we can do things better. Stephanie Covington has typically been on the cutting edge of this trauma informed care and social work. So, it did feel like we were catching up, in a way that made a lot of sense to everybody who I was working with. We just didn't know how to do it. We didn't know what the best strategies were. And so when we brought Stephanie in, it was a really worthwhile investment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/ec5e945b-fea0-47d8-976b-ef8f3bfb488b/Screenshot+2024-08-28+at+3.07.12%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - Social Work and the Importance of Staying Curious - There’s this idea of self that’s like, oh I have a yoga class once a week or, oh, I go get a massage once a month, but self care is also making sure that your workplace is a place where you feel okay, where you feel valued, where you feel you have a purpose. https://www.socialjusticesac.org/blog/alt-to-911-now-open-247-365 monthly 0.5 2024-09-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/e2e7fc64-d19f-4e36-a2c9-52ba42a67f76/Screenshot+2024-08-28+at+4.37.53%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - Alt to 911 - NOW OPEN 24/7, 365!

During the September 2020 Sac County budget hearings, Supervisor Patrick Kennedy (pictured left) directed county staff to research alternatives to 911 for folks experiencing mental health crises. The staff brought back a proposal for a short-term pilot program that would run Monday-Friday from 9a-5p. The public rightfully pushed back and demanded a permanent 24/7, 365 program, as mental health crises don’t only happen during regular business hours. The members of the Board of Supervisors (BOS) agreed and directed staff to come back with a proposal that would mirror the community’s demands. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/c91b8fd4-e55c-495a-8e7f-0b27485c10e8/Screenshot+2024-08-28+at+4.49.09%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - Alt to 911 - NOW OPEN 24/7, 365!

Committee members drafted a letter of recommendation to the County Board of Supervisors (BOS) and the BHS Director underscoring how important it was to get this program up and running as promised. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/9a45148c-5061-42b8-ad87-931844baf771/Screenshot+2024-08-28+at+4.57.21%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - Alt to 911 - NOW OPEN 24/7, 365! “Join Decarcerate Sacramento, Disability Rights California (DRC), and the California Pan-Ethnic Health Network (CPEHN) as we gather in Sacramento for a community conversation on recent mental health policy changes.

Acting out of character, what a phrase. Shakespeare once said, “All the world’s a stage, all the men and women merely players.” On this metaphoric stage called life there is such a hefty penalty for refusing to continue playing the part you’re assigned. Even questioning the character you’re assigned can be cause for rebuke. Let alone questioning who assigned it to you and who has a stake in your continued performance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/1b27e92d-5eb7-422b-a3d4-054a391ac88c/Screenshot+2024-09-03+at+11.56.54%E2%80%AFAM.png Blog - The Beauty of Acting Out of Character - Make it stand out There’s a reason the school house is one of the most hotly contested arenas of public life. In the United States, we require students to begin formal education from the age of 5 or 6 and publicly subsidize it through public schools until the 12th grade, age 17 or 18. The story we’ve most repeated is that this allows for an educated populace. School is where you’re supposed to learn reading, writing, math, history (lol), and other useful subjects to prepare you for continued formal education, work/trades, or a life as a productive member of a bustling democracy. https://www.socialjusticesac.org/blog/spotlight-tamika-lecluse-amp-the-sac-community-land-trust monthly 0.5 2024-09-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/04ecee6c-3fb7-4f66-aaa8-f858174a7ccf/Screenshot+2024-09-09+at+8.32.59%E2%80%AFAM.png Blog - Spotlight: Tamika L'Ecluse & the Sac Community Land Trust! - In August of 2023, Tamika L'Ecluse (pictured right) was hired as the Sacramento Community Land Trust's (SCLT) first Executive Director!

Advocates have been talking about how the lack of housing, inadequate mental health services, and racist practices within Child Protective Services (CPS) exacerbate harms that come to our community's youth, destroy the social structures that keep children safe, and push folks towards the carceral system. It's no coincidence that in the county there's a 55% jail booking rate for black children. Furthermore, 37% of children within Sac County's CPS system are black, while only 10% of children in the county are black. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/149dc876-419d-4722-a88b-2f19ecbdb048/Screenshot+2024-09-16+at+11.52.33%E2%80%AFAM.png Blog - Hey Sac County - stop housing our foster youth in a jail Just 20 minutes before a judge announced that a jury found former Minneapolis police Derek Chauvin guilty of murdering George Floyd, we saw the loss of life of another Black person at the hands of a police officer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/837f08d6-8ce1-4ed1-955b-06d370abc67f/Screenshot+2024-09-16+at+11.54.33%E2%80%AFAM.png Blog - Hey Sac County - stop housing our foster youth in a jail - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/7a23dee3-8ba8-43cf-b7c4-ea024404fc7a/Screenshot+2024-09-16+at+11.55.46%E2%80%AFAM.png Blog - Hey Sac County - stop housing our foster youth in a jail - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/37641c80-0e86-412d-9460-3fa49d440362/Screenshot+2024-09-16+at+11.56.43%E2%80%AFAM.png Blog - Hey Sac County - stop housing our foster youth in a jail - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/84023721-3766-44ce-b1bc-61d8e00318d5/Screenshot+2024-09-16+at+11.57.13%E2%80%AFAM.png Blog - Hey Sac County - stop housing our foster youth in a jail - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.socialjusticesac.org/blog/help-guide-sac-countys-climate-policy monthly 0.5 2024-09-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/eaae8ee9-649a-480c-a1b6-cbf3bbd326b5/Screenshot+2024-09-16+at+11.33.48%E2%80%AFAM.png Blog - Help guide Sac County's climate policy! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/95c183ec-c89e-463b-9c3a-43a6e0abf45b/Screenshot+2024-09-16+at+11.35.21%E2%80%AFAM.png Blog - Help guide Sac County's climate policy!

City staff discuss some of the excellent (and shiny) projects they are working on and what they expect to happen in the upcoming months. The projects are truly good and benefit the community and public health, and yes, the staff work incredibly hard. The problem is: there’s not enough staff, even to spend the money they already have. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/3351788d-c241-476d-a7f9-c69707b532d9/Screenshot+2024-09-16+at+12.03.55%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - New Council, same climate discussions Highlights from the staff presentation Jennifer Venema, the City’s Climate Lead, presented the Quarterly Climate Update to City Council on May 2. Since this is the first climate update for the new Councilmembers (Caity Maple, Lisa Kaplan & Karina Talamantes), Jennifer provided some context on the City’s climate commitments over the past few years, as well as the breakdown of greenhouse gases from the different sections (56% of the city’s emissions are from transportation, 38% from building energy use, etc.) *this is 2016 data, they don’t have anything more recent that they use She discussed the past directives from Council to move with greater urgency and pointed to the two big work outputs on climate action so far – the 2021 Climate Work Plan, which listed tasks and goals for the city, and the Climate Action & Adaptation (CAAP), the guiding document for the city to meet carbon neutrality by 2045 The presentation was big on flashy numbers and short on context. Some examples: The city did allocate $4.4 million dollars for climate action, which was touted in the presentation. But it isn’t mentioned when the money was allocated (2021) or the initial intent of the money (to fund near term priority actions) The City’s draft CAAP was released on April 28, but it wasn’t mentioned that its three years late (originally supposed to be released in 2020 and adopted in 2021) The majority of the City’s climate tasks are “underway”, but this does not account for multi-year delays that some of the City’s projects have dealt with Example: the City’s tree planting initiative has technically been “underway” but there is no staff capacity to implement the project There are many excellent transportation projects going on in the City that will improve sidewalks and bike lanes. But, these are not new projects that the City has called for since declaring they need to more urgently support active transit and transportation, these are projects that have long been on the docket The City has applied to grants totaling $1.7 million, but the City hasn’t won any of those grants yet Including the new funding the City just received for the Sacramento Valley Station (about $68 million), the City has secured about $149 million total for funding climate-related projects (federal money for projects, money for projects from state representatives, etc). The City itself has put in $4.4 million for climate directly. This is about 4% of the $3 billion dollars the City estimates is needed to get Sacramento’s greenhouse gas emissions down to zero in the next 20 years https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/b7964e16-49d9-4841-b30f-cc04ae9d5c28/Screenshot+2024-09-16+at+12.07.20%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - New Council, same climate discussions - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.socialjusticesac.org/blog/jail-expansion-update-amp-adp-reduction monthly 0.5 2025-12-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/5faa5a04-c227-4232-9c01-d57ca1df27a2/Screenshot+2024-09-16+at+12.12.25%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - Jail expansion update & ADP reduction Back in September (09/14/22) the Sac County BOS received reports (agenda doc linked here) from "experts" that claimed to support the need for the construction of a new jail. At the BOS meeting in December presentations regarding the proposed expansion of the Sac County Main Jail, and public comment took place. The following day, 12/8, the Board voted in favor of approving the jail expansion plan. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/782b19dd-9f49-4706-8522-75c2659f72cb/Screenshot+2024-09-16+at+12.14.28%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - Jail expansion update & ADP reduction In its typical fashion, the County has chosen to frame the heinous conditions within the Main Jail as something that can only be remedied by expanding said jail. This planned building expansion, once called the “Correctional Health and Mental Health Facility" and now called the "Services and Health Intake Facility," is a thinly veiled effort from the County to "address" the mental health needs of the people incarcerated within the jail while refusing to actually invest in the community in ways that would provide alternatives to the carceral system. Instead they are actively seeking to further entrench law enforcement as the agency that "cares" for our most oppressed and vulnerable populations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/1726514748873-VN5PWRSFHV42N6NUKQRN/Screenshot+2024-09-16+at+12.18.18%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - Jail expansion update & ADP reduction https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/1726514783852-ENW5TM38ZECUAU3U7IY7/Screenshot+2024-09-16+at+12.18.25%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - Jail expansion update & ADP reduction https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/1726514807690-L2GE9WHIDF77MA5LJBW9/Screenshot+2024-09-16+at+12.18.35%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - Jail expansion update & ADP reduction https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/1726514835477-ZUI7D11P1V7W07CX6FPO/Screenshot+2024-09-16+at+12.18.42%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - Jail expansion update & ADP reduction https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/1726514874445-M6QYWLR2DMAN02ZXA0NH/Screenshot+2024-09-16+at+12.18.50%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - Jail expansion update & ADP reduction https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/1726514931651-JF57J2BPBI9YRKK10EAA/Screenshot+2024-09-16+at+12.19.29%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - Jail expansion update & ADP reduction https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/1726514970394-HEQGE9K0XJMSMQTYWZW8/Screenshot+2024-09-16+at+12.19.37%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - Jail expansion update & ADP reduction https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/1726515010846-NES13831MR5EA3AS4NCO/Screenshot+2024-09-16+at+12.19.46%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - Jail expansion update & ADP reduction https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/1726515033122-7L4NWDAILZKL2WBLBPFU/Screenshot+2024-09-16+at+12.19.54%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - Jail expansion update & ADP reduction https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/1726515062629-53A7LHN79KYIJR8WJQEP/Screenshot+2024-09-16+at+12.20.02%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - Jail expansion update & ADP reduction https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/6b082082-420f-407e-8836-ef49e2286e2b/Screenshot+2024-09-16+at+12.32.38%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - Jail expansion update & ADP reduction First, let's start with the County's ongoing process of finding an architect to design this expansion. Design firm Nacht and Lewis built the Main Jail, the conditions of which brought on the lawsuit, and they themselves admit that the violations inherent to the building cannot be remedied. This same design firm had been in the running for being chosen to design this new expansion.

On March 28th 2023, Sacramento's Chief of Police Katherine Lester and Captain Rudy Chan (who oversees the Sac PD Academy) went to the City Council requesting an additional $600,000 dollars to purchase ‘insertable plates’ for their bulletproof vests (item 19). These plates, as explained in a presentation by Chief Lester, are protective insertable ceramic plates used for protection against assault rifles. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/19a32376-5c07-40b8-860e-6f156a0ddf0a/Screenshot+2024-09-16+at+12.55.05%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - Manipulation tactics from the SPD - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/a46cad7c-a435-413e-898e-94889576e57d/Screenshot+2024-09-16+at+12.58.20%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - Manipulation tactics from the SPD - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/a44c73cc-be81-464f-8668-f9ec1a31a606/Screenshot+2024-09-16+at+1.00.18%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - Manipulation tactics from the SPD The decision to continue the vote for this item as part of the consent calendar (as opposed to pulling it off the Calendar for further discussion) came from the City Manager who was ‘uncomfortable’ delaying the vote, even though the City offered to explore other cooperative purchasing organizations that better aligned with Sacramento’s values. Because implementing that process could have potentially delayed the SPD receiving this ‘protective’ equipment by a couple of weeks, he deemed it unacceptable. Worth noting is that it would not take much extra time to work with the organization in Minnesota because we already have a relationship with them. https://www.socialjusticesac.org/blog/expansion-of-equity-training-in-the-city-of-sacramento monthly 0.5 2024-09-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/79feb1c3-288f-47db-a5b4-27f79335bd95/Screenshot+2024-09-16+at+1.22.53%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - Expansion of Equity Training in the City of Sacramento Back in February we wrote a piece about the formation of the Committee as well as its members - check it out for a deeper dive into the Committee itself!

She presented the resolution briefly by going over its purpose, the context of it in regards to SCORE, and what the training would mean for Sacramento City officials. After Barnes’ brief presentation, Councilmember Jennings had a comment about the Resolution - in which he suggested that there be DEIB training for City workers on the lower levels and not just “upper level” departments. He noted that this would potentially look like providing the training to the heads of city departments as well as their staff. https://www.socialjusticesac.org/blog/the-closing-of-financially-troubled-sacramento-housing-nonprofit-and-the-death-of-fair-housing monthly 0.5 2024-10-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/5e25d693-3200-47ec-a992-e052442c0e4a/Screenshot+2024-10-23+at+1.59.05%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - The Closing of Financially Troubled Sacramento Housing Nonprofit and the Death of Fair Housing At the March 28th Sacramento County Board of Supervisors (BOS) meeting, the Board approved $1.7 million to pay property owners back rent and to repair damage toward Sacramento Self Help Housing (SSHH) homes under county contract (item 47).

Samuel (they/them) showed the Supervisors a list of black trans women murdered in 2023, including Tisiyah Woodland who was murdered on March 24, 2023, who just turned 18 and noted that recognizing “people for who they are…is like the least thing that you can do.” After calling out Frost’s bigotry and lack of empathy for people fighting for basic recognition of their humanity, Keyan asked the County to go beyond the bare minimum and performative gestures. https://www.socialjusticesac.org/blog/police-review-commission-2023-a-new-work-plan-and-an-inadequate-meu-policy monthly 0.5 2024-11-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/63121acf-e17c-4485-a4aa-6492f9dac25f/Screenshot+2024-11-07+at+8.31.23%E2%80%AFAM.png Blog - Police Review Commission 2023 - a new work plan and an inadequate MEU policy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/2d61332d-5bb0-4c2b-9fc8-e549a6d992c1/Screenshot+2024-11-07+at+8.35.26%E2%80%AFAM.png Blog - Police Review Commission 2023 - a new work plan and an inadequate MEU policy The current policy language does not meet the criteria of AB481, and in some cases it contains loopholes enabling police violence through the use of vague policy phrases such as “crowd control”. In addition to this policy language, Chair Castillo-Krings made note that “we need data to inform” the public’s engagement with policy discussion. The public is being kept out of the discussion on MEU policy, and the SPD is doing next to nothing to ensure transparency. Not only are they not sharing much data, the data that they do share empirically demonstrates injustices towards marginalized communities (as per Vice Chair Bliss’ comments). With these injustices in mind, the SCPRC agreed for “data-driven policy approaches” to be added to the 2023 work plan for MEU policy changes, as transparency is a must for real change to happen in the city. https://www.socialjusticesac.org/blog/sjpc-presents-student-voices-i-am-here monthly 0.5 2024-11-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/6a1f11a1-9b34-414c-b3d0-6da966b7ca60/Screenshot+2024-11-07+at+9.04.33%E2%80%AFAM.png Blog - SJPC Presents: Student Voices, "I am here" - Make it stand out I Am Here https://www.socialjusticesac.org/blog/sacramentos-outdated-lobbying-ordinance-needs-improvements monthly 0.5 2024-11-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/1947bf16-590b-42ea-a0be-b551cef7174f/Screenshot+2024-11-26+at+10.47.03%E2%80%AFAM.png Blog - Sacramento's outdated Lobbying Ordinance needs improvements!

Social justice is not just about reforming our society, it is about transforming it into something that is equitable for all human beings.

He attempted to place this issue on the consent calendar (a part of the council process which is supposed to be a list of uncontroversial issues that the council can vote yes or no on without needing any debate), but Councilmember Katie Valenzuela put an end to that bullsh*t right away, removing it from consent and immediately declaring her strong opposition to the entire circus, saying: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/4e70e453-9b14-434d-84cf-516f430ef9e4/Screenshot+2024-09-16+at+2.49.28%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - Jeff Harris, You Got Some F*ckin Nerve It is impossible to know how things would have shaken out if no public comments were made, but given the city’s history, it is fair to assume that they will always try and do the most harmful things they think they can get away with. At this meeting, the community showed up and made it clear, we won’t let them get away with this. https://www.socialjusticesac.org/blog/ignoring-the-public-about-safety monthly 0.5 2025-01-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/4c625300-91c9-43d0-a492-6a87b2ffdcf2/Screenshot+2025-01-02+at+2.10.03%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - Ignoring the public about safety - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.socialjusticesac.org/blog/the-siting-plan-it-was-nice-knowin-ya monthly 0.5 2024-09-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/b49e01e1-6e32-459c-8e3e-b0e8b5b5baf6/Screenshot+2024-09-16+at+2.54.08%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - The Siting Plan, it was nice(?) knowin' ya The Siting Plan was held up by Mayor Steinberg back in 2021 as a sign that the city was willing to take bold and ambitious steps to tackle the Sacramento housing crisis. He was wrong - the plan was at best a first step and had a lot of flaws. The Siting Plan did, however, provide funding for shelters, which is not a bad thing. But, since it was passed last August, the plan has been a massive failure. Initially, the Siting Plan promised to spend $100 million and open at least 20 new shelter sites. Steinberg estimated that the city would be able to serve around 10,000 unhoused people through this plan. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/4f9090d4-8ab2-4241-b857-c6be2f05e1ef/Screenshot+2024-09-16+at+2.55.43%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - The Siting Plan, it was nice(?) knowin' ya Steinberg, as well as other councilmembers like Angelique Ashby, tried to defend the Siting Plan in the October 25th meeting, but the numbers don’t lie: the Siting Plan was a miserable failure. When asked her opinion, Councilmember Valenzuela cited a lack of initial vetting of sites, as well as unexpected and ever-increasing costs, as the primary reasons for the plan’s inability to get off the ground. In their presentation on October 25th, city staff claimed that they had found, through this process, that shelter spaces actually have a higher operational cost per space than affordable housing. https://www.socialjusticesac.org/blog/council-presentations-climate-justice-and-indigenous-peoples-day monthly 0.5 2025-03-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/524966c3-ce6e-4266-a6a4-b03b23332682/Screenshot+2025-03-11+at+11.50.38%E2%80%AFAM.png Blog - Council presentations - climate justice and Indigenous Peoples' Day - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/245fa3fd-11a6-4f96-aa3f-d9b9c4f922e7/Screenshot+2025-03-11+at+11.51.50%E2%80%AFAM.png Blog - Council presentations - climate justice and Indigenous Peoples' Day - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/576570dd-1c99-4a44-a0f4-e187a64bf767/Screenshot+2025-03-11+at+11.52.59%E2%80%AFAM.png Blog - Council presentations - climate justice and Indigenous Peoples' Day Indigenous Peoples’ Day is celebrated the second Monday of October and it serves to recognize the Indigenous communities that have lived in what are now know as the Americas for thousands of years.

I NEVER had access to a counselor or therapist on any school campus, much less one that looked like me. While I was privileged enough to be able to attend swim lessons during the summer with my little sister, my mother would herald to both of us that “the summer months would be thin” every year around June. I share my story not to draw sympathy, but to highlight that I was extremely fortunate and lucky. I was able to avoid the trauma and pain that many youth in this city experience, because I had enough people in my life that were dedicated to and the capacity for supporting the creation of a healthy, intelligent, passionate, and motivated child. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/bcfe87fd-e567-49a6-a5ef-2438bfac8d3f/Screenshot+2025-03-12+at+2.11.16%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - Yes on Measure L - prioritize Sacramento's youth! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.socialjusticesac.org/blog/recap-sacramento-community-summit-on-homelessness monthly 0.5 2025-03-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/4e005f0a-9a8d-47ea-934f-e27a230e5d0b/Screenshot+2025-03-12+at+1.52.52%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - Recap: Sacramento Community Summit on Homelessness - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/deac3e3a-21b2-4d51-84e3-ae8632a1f0c1/Screenshot+2025-03-12+at+1.54.07%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - Recap: Sacramento Community Summit on Homelessness The Summit thus opened against the background of a dire situation, one that could not be “solved” over a period of 2 days even with the best intentions, and even with the involvement and guidance of unhoused attendees, many active in the Homeless Union and other local organizations, and committed to developing awareness and political power. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/7552ab96-ba5d-4815-8249-652c14fa4b3f/Screenshot+2025-03-12+at+1.55.37%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - Recap: Sacramento Community Summit on Homelessness - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.socialjusticesac.org/blog/kaiser-cruelty monthly 0.5 2025-03-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/e0ef267f-fbee-4645-8b28-71d81b24bcc9/Screenshot+2025-03-12+at+1.45.50%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - Kaiser cruelty - Make it stand out Image pulled from Sac Bee article linked below https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6504b640bd5050673972134b/60b71e49-91fa-47f9-b617-768c13dcc0db/Screenshot+2025-03-12+at+1.46.56%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - Kaiser cruelty Currently, Kaiser health care clinicians work 40 hours a week, with 34 hours dedicated to seeing patients and the rest being left to ‘administrative time’ which is described by Deb Catsavas, senior Vice President of Human Resources of Kaiser, as “documentation, planning and other office activities rather than directly treating patients''.
