Crime victim advocates urging Prop. 20 opposition

A letter, sponsored by several of the largest crime victims’ organizations in California, was sent to mayors of the state’s 13 largest cities Thursday, urging them to oppose Proposition 20 — a statewide initiative that they believe will increase incarceration rates and costs, while cutting investments in services necessary to help survivors.

The letter coincided with a news conference, where crime victims and different district attorneys from across the state shared why they were opposing Proposition 20.
