Shoplifting in Berkeley

Root Cause

emiljordan1 — 2024-05-29 05:14:53 UTC

Legislation (Prop 47) reclassifies theft under $950 dollars as misdemeanors to reduce prison crowding. Since Prop 47, we have seen a rise in shoplifting in California.

Goal

emiljordan1 — 2024-05-29 05:15:21 UTC

Support the passing of Assembly Bill 75 to impose harsher penalties on repeat shoplifters and reduce retail theft.

Target

emiljordan1 — 2024-05-29 05:20:33 UTC

Pamela Turntine, Editor-in-Chief of Berkeleyside. We believe, while she isn't part of the government, that she can have a significant influence on public opinion on the topic, leading to legislative advancements.

Tactic

We will send an executive memo to Pamela Turntine, asking that she agrees to exercise the power of her position as editor-in-chief of Berkeleyside to support the passing of Assembly Bill 75. As a highly respected figure in our community, her voice can significantly influence public opinion and legislative outcomes.
