Rick Chavez Zbur has spent his life fighting for equality and justice — for LGBTQ+ people, immigrants, communities of color and faith and people living with HIV. Justice for our planet and for the communities most impacted by pollution and climate change. Economic justice for working families and our most vulnerable. Criminal justice and gun safety reform. Health justice for everyone.
Criminal Justice. A city whose criminal justice system prioritizes crime prevention and reducing recidivism through restorative justice, drug diversion and programs that value and support our youth by offering hope and opportunity. A city whose criminal justice system reforms policies that criminalize poverty and immigration status and that breaks down institutional racism. A city that dramatically reduces gun violence and prioritizes and respects the survivors of sexual and domestic violence.
