With over 1,000 attendees, this event highlighted the importance of supporting justice-impacted individuals as they return home and rebuild their lives. I’ve long championed second chances through legislation like AB 2147, which created a path to expungement for incarcerated firefighters who put their lives on the line, and SB 245 which will continue that work by expanding those opportunities to even more individuals who served in fire camps and hand crew programs. Together, we’re building a future where redemption, opportunity, and community support are not the exception—but the expectation.
