California’s Solution to Human Trafficking is Unbelievably Stupid | Ep 297
We explore California's troubling approach to human trafficking laws, focusing on Assembly Bill 379 which would transform the buying and selling of humans from a misdemeanor to a felony but remains unsigned by Governor Newsom despite years of advocacy.
• San Diego County District Attorney Summer Stephan has fought for 10 years to change California law on human trafficking
• Current California law makes purchasing minors for sexual exploitation only a misdemeanor—"like buying a slice of pizza"
• Assembly Bill 379 would make trafficking a felony and increase resources for victims' mental health and shelter services
• The bill has been sitting on Governor Newsom's desk for years without action
• Call the governor's office at 916-445-2841 to urge passage of Assembly Bill 379
• We extend an open invitation to Governor Newsom to discuss this important legislation on our show
