All roads lead to Sacramento - a Caravan for Justice. This was the first of a series of planned Caravans for Justice focusing on various aspects of the "justice" system. A caravan of cars and buses traveled to the California State Capitol on February 19, 2009 to lobby legislators in Sacramento on the issues of Oscar Grant and police killings (revising the "Police Bill of Rights" that shields their misconduct records from the public), repressive gang laws, reforming Three Strikes and other laws and issues that criminilize urban youth.
