If masked ICE agents can freely board Metro buses, that’s not public transit—it’s a trap. @LAMetro needs to stand up for Angelenos and slam the door on collaboration with #ICE! lapublicpress.org/2025/09/la-met…

#Prop36 supporters call it “safety.” What they mean is: lock up the poor, the sick, and the desperate. Our neighbors, and our clients, need care to get better, not cages. #Prop36 davisvanguard.org/2025/11/prop-3…

L.A. showed us that trained crisis teams work— they save lives and de-escalate harm. So why are we still waiting to expand them citywide? Every delay costs lives. laist.com/news/criminal-…

California gave its prison system $17.5B—and it still blew past its budget, overspending $850M in just three years. While our communities are told to “do more with less,” prisons burn through public dollars with zero accountability. calmatters.org/justice/2025/1…

Public defenders have been doing the heavy lifting on the #RacialJusticeAct for years—filing motions, uncovering bias, and fighting case by case. Anyone calling it “underused” hasn’t been paying attention. latimes.com/opinion/letter…

Local 148 members: remember to RSVP for our December 12th holiday party! You can find RSVP information in your email. Hope to see you there!

Masked ICE agents don’t “keep us safe”—they terrorize our communities. Ending anonymous raids is the bare minimum. No one wielding state power should ever be allowed to hide their face from the people they’re targeting. latimes.com/california/sto…

The ACLU SoCal is spot on: Angelenos deserve better. DA Hochman claims to be a centrist. But in his first year he brought back the death penalty, opposed the #RacialJusticeAct and is using extreme charging practices. aclusocal.org/en/publication…

LA’s #publicdefenders came together for a well-deserved night of celebration and connection. We’re grateful for the incredible members of Local 148 and proud to serve this amazing community of 10 million Angelenos!
