DONATE TODAY
On December 31, 2008, TiPS filed a lawsuit in the Sacramento Superior Court to begin the process of obtaining an injunction against the enforcement of every provision of Proposition 9. This lawsuit is costly and we ask for your financial support to continue with the litigation. (Case No. 34-2008-00030789-CU-JR-GDS)
The suit argues that proposition 9 remains an unfunded mandate upon the state, and government agencies have chosen to impliment those provisions which can only further exacerbate California's budget crisis while worsening unconstitutional prison conditions.
To date we have raised less than 1/4 of the total amount required to continue with this suit, and just enough to get it written and filed. If we do not raise enough money to argue the suit, then the litigation may end abruptly.
Please do not delay, and make your generous donation today using either PayPal below or by mailing your check to TiPS, c/o Legal Fund, P.O. Box 255456, Sacramento, CA 95865. Remember to write Prop. 9 Legal Fund in the memo portion of your check.
