Yvette Corkrean Standing For Crime Victims In San Francisco

Written By Yvette Corkrean - Senate Candidate for District 11

I would like to thank you for sending letters of support for Senator Seyarto’s Senate Bill 1219, which addresses the harmful effects of Senator Scott Wiener's Senate Bill 357.  Wiener's bill decriminalized loitering, which has contributed to an increase in human trafficking in California. Unfortunately, the committee would not bring the bill forward, they killed Senator Seyarto's bill in committee.

Today is the final day to submit letters in support of Senator Shannon Grove's Senate Bill 1414 (SB 1414), which would make it a felony to solicit, agree to engage in or engage in any act of commercial sex with a minor. Last year, Senator Grove introduced Senate Bill 14 -- a historic piece of legislation Governor Newsom signed into law -- which makes human trafficking of a minor a serious felony and strikeable offense. Senator Grove asks you to join in the continued fight against human trafficking by submitting your letters supporting SB 1414 to the Senate Public Safety Committee through the portal https://calegislation.lc.ca.gov/Advocates/. The Chair and Committee membership are as follows:

  • Senator Aisha Wahab (D-Hayward), Chair

  • Senator Kelly Seyarto (R-Murrieta), Vice-Chair

  • Senator Steven Bradford (D-Gardena)

  • Senator Nancy Skinner (D-Berkeley)

  • Senator Scott D. Wiener (D-San Francisco)

The deadline for letters of support to reach the Senate Public Safety Committee is Friday, April 5, 2024.

Please join us at the Capitol for the Senate Public Safety Hearing on April 16, 2024 at 8:30 a.m. - 1021 O Street, Room 2200 to support SB 1414. Time and hearing room TBD.
