We are urging @danielluriesf and the SF Board of Supervisors to fulfill their promise of prioritizing the safety of our community.
However, we are deeply concerned they won’t be able to do so, especially given the proposed budget, which will cut funding for CBOs/direct service providers, and give raises to law enforcement.
The work we do, alongside hundreds of other CBOs, is rooted in seeing shared humanity, something that is sorely missing in today’s world.
We are calling on our community to urge your city leaders to do the right thing and stand alongside the incredible support network of SF CBOs!

Happy Juneteenth!
Today marks 160 years since the emancipation of all enslaved people. We honor the struggle and celebrate Black resilience, while also reinforcing our commitment to addressing the systemic oppression that still exists.

Incredibly grateful for the conversation at our recent panel. For those who missed it, here are some of the key themes we explored with parents and children with lived experience:
➡️ Resilience is a journey. Panelists shared how they navigated negative perceptions and found the strength to heal.
➡️ Visits are vital. The discussion underscored that in-person, physical contact visits is a fundamental need, not a privilege, for maintaining family bonds.
➡️ Support systems have gaps. We identified where services for reentry and healing are falling short and how that impacts families.
➡️Change is possible. The panel offered concrete ideas for policy reform and community action to better support families and foster public empathy.
Thank you to everyone who attended and to our panelists for leading this necessary conversation!

Exciting News! Community Works was featured in @EJUSA’s short film, “Healing in Community: The Power of Restorative Justice Diversion,” showcasing the vital role restorative justice plays in building communities and keeping them safe.
The staggering rise of women incarcerated from 1980 to 2021 is a glaring sign of systemic failure. It's time we advocate for community-based alternatives.
