California Governor Gavin Newsom speaks at a press conference addressing organized theft across the state in Long Beach on Wednesday, July 21, 2021. Newsom was in Long Beach for a meeting with mayors and police chiefs from across the state live and virtually to discuss rising crime and public safety issues. After the meeting he met with three business owners along 4th Street in Long Beach and then held a press conference and signed AB-331 to fight organized theft.

The goal was depopulating crowded prisons and addressing social-justice concerns.
