CA Corrections “I was put in administrative segregation and then shipped far away from my family. I wasn’t the only victim treated like this. In their eyes, they got rid of the problem, which was always us. And our abusers kept their jobs.” -Survivor of CDCR sexual assault #SupportSB1069

Senator Caroline Menjivar “CDCR’s investigation process is not only failing victims but causing more harm. It’s also silencing victims, which allows officers to sexually assault more people.” -Survivor of CDCR sexual assault #SupportSB1069 CCWP Sister Warriors Freedom Coalition

“Throughout my incarceration, women have always been supportive of the men,” RAPP’s Stanley Bellamy told Truthout. “It’s time for us to reciprocate and be out here and support them. I want to bring them home just like I came home. I want them to have the same opportunity.”
