Victim Compensation Reform Moves Forward After YA Testimony

Youth ALIVE! saves lives and works for systems change.

On April 8th, Youth ALIVE! showed up at the State Capitol to fight for victims and survivors. Our Policy and Advocacy Director, Gabriel Garcia, testified in support of AB1100, a bill that would remove barriers to Victim of Crime benefits.

The bill was heard and the Assembly Public Safety Committee and lawmakers approved the bill to move forward, a key first step!

This is a crucial step toward making sure all communities like Oakland get the healing support they deserve.

Watch the full testimony here at the 5:29:55 mark.
