The Racial Justice Coalition of San Diego (RJCSD) and the North County Equity and Justice Coalition (NCEJC) held a media conference Monday to call out Governor Newsom’s veto of Assembly Bill 2343. This bill, also known as the "Saving Lives in Custody Act" was introduced under the leadership of Assemblymember Dr. Akilah Weber, along with other San Diego representatives, Tasha Boerner Horvath (AD 76), Ben Hueso (SD 40), Brian Maienschein (AD 77) and Chris Ward (AD 77), to improve conditions in county jails while placing emphasis on mental health checks inside. Dr. Akilah Weber said the measure was written to "remedy the systemic failure of the San Diego Sheriff’s Department to properly care for inmates."
