STOP UNFAIR SENTENCING FOR YOUNG BLACK MEN!

Why is this important?

MY BEST FRIEND (Chauncy James) HAS BEEN SENTENCED TO 34 to LIFE ON HIS 1st OFFENSE❗️❗️❗️25 to LIFE IS EXCLUSIVELY ENHANCEMENTS❗️❗️❗️
Far too many people of color are disproportionately impacted by our state’s overly punitive sentencing laws, which tie the hands of our judges.
SB 620 is a critical step toward a more fair and equitable justice system in California.
For far too long, extreme sentencing enhancements have fueled mass incarceration, failed to deter crimes, and disproportionately ensnared people of color.
He has totally changed his way of thinking for the betterment of himself, his family and most importantly society. I truly feel he deserves a second chance at life being in society to show he is very much an asset instead of a liability. He was given an extremely harsh sentence for a 1st time offender❗️❗️❗️

Chauncy deserves some consideration for sentence reduction or have his sentence enhancements reexamined under SB 620 ❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️
