I'm writing to urge the Senator to ensure that SB 995, the Masuma Khan Justice Act, gets approved by the Appropriations Committee. I know how the suspense file works, but this bill would conceivably make California money, so if it doesn't pass for budgetary reasons, not only will the Senate have let down everyone who has suffered and is suffering in these detention centers, but many voters will be forced to seek viable primary challengers to any Senators who didn't support the bill when they are up for re-election. Honoring Masuma Khan's sacrifice by punishing the private prison companies for treating detainees like animals is the least our state government can do. Thank you.
