This is no doubt a big victory and shift in police policy! #StopTheStops LAPD’s Metro Division, which has been racially profiling residents of South LA, will drastically cut back on pulling over random vehicles. latimes.com/california/sto…

I am proud that in one of my final acts as the first Black Council President, we are acknowledging the City’s role of structural & institutional racism & its role in righting those wrongs with an Office of Racial Equity that looks out for all Angelenos. bit.ly/2LImW5t

The City Council passed a motion to create an Office of Racial Equity, tasked with proactively addressing racial disparities in city policy & programs! It's a result of people across the city participating in embRACE LA and looking for viable ways to address inequity. (2/3)
