I was honored to go to San Francisco this week and talk to a group that was 90% formally incarcerated and 90% people of color.

Their message? Fund recovery now!

Absolutely true!

“The evidence is overwhelming that the majority of people on the street are there because of untreated mental illness or addiction, which leads people to use all their money to support their drug habit and be high, rather than work.”
