STOP SACRAMENTO’S LAWLESS AGENDA
SB 562 and SB 672:
Jeopardizes the safety of ALL Californians
‍

Californians consistently rank crime and public safety as a top concern. But Sacramento politicians continue to push reckless policies that put criminals first and victims last. SB 562 and SB 672 are the latest examples – two dangerous bills that would make it harder to hold offenders accountable and easier for violent criminals to walk free.

SB 562: More Missed Court Dates. More Criminals on the Run.
SB 562 would force bail companies to refund most of the premium if prosecutors don’t file charges within 21 days. But charging delays are often necessary to complete investigations. Under this bill, the bail is canceled, and the defendant is off the hook – no longer monitored, no longer held accountable. That means more no-shows in court, more outstanding warrants, and more criminals back on our streets. Worse, it incentivizes bail agents to stop issuing bonds altogether, meaning low-risk defendants may stay locked up longer. SB 562 weakens law enforcement, overloads our jails, and makes our communities less safe.

SB 672: Parole for Murderers, Even Mass Killers and Hate Crime Offenders
SB 672 would let violent killers sentenced to life without parole go free if they were under 26 when they committed their crimes. The bill opens the door for some of California’s most dangerous murderers – including those who committed hate crimes, torture killings, or mass shootings – to be released after just 25 years. Victims’ families were promised justice. SB 672 tears that promise apart. With prison populations already at historic lows, there is no excuse for putting these predators back into our communities.

Golden State Communities:
Fighting for a Safer, Stronger California

Building Communities with Integrity, Responsibility, and Public Safety in Mind

At Golden State Communities, we are committed to creating safe, vibrant neighborhoods where families can thrive without fear. In recent years, Californians have spoken loud and clear on criminal justice and public safety with the passage of Proposition 36 in 2024 – the most substantial change to public safety and criminal justice reform in a generation – as well as the defeat of Proposition 25, which would have instituted a policy of “Zero Bail” in California.

These victories reflect our shared determination to stand up for the safety of our communities and reject dangerous policies that put us all at risk. As California continues to face challenges from crime, drug addiction and homelessness, we are more committed than ever to advocating for common-sense solutions that make our streets safer, protect our families, and strengthen our communities.

PROPOSITION 36: A WIN FOR PUBLIC SAFETY
‍

In November 2024, California voters overwhelmingly approved Proposition 36, a ballot initiative that increased penalties for repeat retail theft and instituted new laws to provide treatment for those suffering from addiction. Golden State Communities served as the key sponsor of Prop 36, working with law enforcement, business, social justice advocates and community groups across the state. The result: Prop 36 won the support of nearly 70 percent of voters, and passed in every single county in the state.

PROPOSITION 25: DEFEATING ZERO BAIL
‍

In 2020, voters rejected Prop 25, stopping a dangerous proposal that would have reduced jail sentences and eliminated crucial parole reforms. The measure would have undermined the safety of our communities by putting violent offenders back on the streets through a “Zero Bail” program. Following the defeat of this onerous measure, Golden State Communities kept its coalition together and worked to defeat Senate Bill 10 in 2020 – yet another attempt to eliminate bail in the state. Our leadership on these campaigns sends a clear message: we will not compromise the safety of law-abiding citizens for the sake of dangerously-lenient criminal justice policies.

Fighting Crime, Strengthening Communities

At Golden State Communities, we believe that safety is the foundation of any thriving neighborhood. Our commitment is to build communities where residents can feel secure, raise families, and foster economic opportunity without the threat of rising crime.
‍

Looking Ahead: A Safer Future for All Californians

As we move into 2025 and beyond, Golden State Communities will continue to advocate for policies that make our streets safer, protect our families, and foster healthy, sustainable communities. Our vision for a safer California is one where law enforcement, community organizations, and sensible legislation work together to create an environment where crime rates decline, and safety prevails.
