WHY I SUPPORT REAL PUBLIC SAFETY

As a community advocate, I have watched many men and women incarcerated accept plea deals,  just to get away from the Harris County Jail conditions and case backlogs.

At a certain point, the processes of the carceral system becomes unbearable and it becomes more than a case of guilt or innocence to the accused.

It is about survival. Physically and mentally.

In our platform, we are calling on Harris County District Attorney for successful pretrial releases, sustainable free diversion programs, and dismissal of charges of low level offenses instead of incarceration.   

We as Harris County residents and Houstonians are here to define was Safety is for us. It is CARE not CAGES that make the communities safe.
