We are thrilled to share the news that on Tuesday, July 21, Patricia was released from prison and was able to reunite with her loving family as a result of an emergency order issued by Governor Gavin Newsom.  We are deeply grateful to you and all of Patricia’s supporters for helping to bring attention to her situation and to build grassroots pressure to help free Patricia.  

Patricia prays that Governor Newsom will not stop at her release, but will also show compassion to the thousands of other medically vulnerable and elderly people suffering in prison during this pandemic.  You can watch a video of Pat’s reunion with her family and her message to Governor Newsom here and read more about her release here.   

Please also take a moment to visit carenotcages.com and join incarcerated people, their families, and other advocates in urging Governor Newsom to take additional actions to release more people at this critical time.
