Speaking with our own Robyn Sordelett, Chesa Boudin breaks down how “selection bias” and the availability heuristic influence public opinion, often elevating the loudest or most sensationalized stories while sidelining others. Listening to survivors means making space for complexity, not shortcuts.

Prop 36 isn’t working.
Forced treatment without funding or services is just pushing more people into jail instead of care. L.A. County alone is projected to spend nearly $80M this year jailing people on Prop 36 charges—money that could house thousands or provide life-saving treatment.

The result: a $3.15M settlement, mandatory reforms, and stronger safeguards for the public.

When survivors speak, the system has a responsibility to stop talking and start listening.
During our survivor listening sessions, survivors sat with prosecutors and advocates for a rare, honest conversation about what safety actually feels like and how often our system fails to provide it.

Gratitude looks a little different for us.
It looks like victims of crime being centered in conversations that have historically ignored them.
It looks like prosecutors willing to hear uncomfortable truths.
It looks like advocates and partners pushing for better.
We’re deeply grateful.

A new California study is flipping that script by surveying survivors who have participated in parole hearings for someone who harmed them or their loved one. The study asks what support they needed, what they didn’t get, and what could prevent future harm.

DA Sherry Boston reminds us that being victim-centered doesn’t always look the same. Sometimes it means stepping back from prosecution and sometimes it means moving forward even when it’s hard.
True justice meets people where they are, not where the system expects them to be.

When we center survivors, we transform justice.
True reform means humanizing everyone involved, both survivors and those who’ve caused harm. Because healing, repair, and accountability are only possible when we move beyond “us vs. them.”
