Last year LA County spent more than $150 MILLION settling cases of sheriff misconduct and negligence—while critical Care First investments for our communities get a fraction of that. It’s time to reimagine our budget priorities.

Don't be fooled. Prop. 36 will make drug use and the overdose crisis worse. It will strip about $100 million a year from substance use treatment & reentry programs. #StopProp36 #VoteNoOnProp36 #StopPrisonScam

The Black Panther Party was founded on this day in 1966 by Bobby Seale and Huey P. Newton. “The revolution has always been in the hands of the young. The young always inherit the revolution.” - Huey P. Newton

Listen to J Vasquez give a breakdown of the history of slavery in California in relationship to free forced labor today in California State Prisons and why we must vote YES on Prop 6 to end this in California! (PART 1) #YesOnProp6 #NoOnProp36 #ParticipatoryDefense

"Prop. 36 is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. It suggests people should receive treatment at the same time it pulls the funding away from treatment to spend it on prisons." Read our new op-ed from Christine.eth and then vote NO on Prop 36. #StopProp36 ocregister.com/2024/10/16/pro…

In California, for decades we had been stealing survivor benefits from foster children whose parents had passed away…

This year we passed legislation to stop this immoral practice and ensure the money goes directly to the youth who it belongs to 👇🏽 cbs8.com/article/news/l…

But California isn’t the only State where this has been happening. It’s time for all states, and Congress, to step up and end this practice for good.
