We cannot separate police contact from health outcomes. When we shift county priorities away from criminalizing folks for the health and economic crises we are navigating, new outcomes will be possible. New alternatives will arise. New systems will emerge. #DefendBlackLife
The fight for the worth of healthcare workers never ends. Take care of those who take care of you #primehealthcare#workersrights

Guess he heard us when we said “Keep ‘em coming, @GeorgeGascon!” 1. Last week he charged 2 Torrance PD officers for spray-painting swastikas.
2. Earlier this week he charged 2 LA County sheriffs deputies for an assault & cover-up.
3. TODAY Torrance PD charged in a shooting…
BREAKING: In rare move, DA @GeorgeGascon files assault charges against Torrance police officer for shooting. It's only the third time since 2000 that an LA law enforcement officer has been charged in connection with a shooting. Body cam footage attached.

We don’t need more data, research, or evidence to demonstrate that mass incarcerated has been a failure. That’s not a debate.
What we need is more political courage. We need more elected officials to step up to the plate to do the work.

It's understandable why people who rely on incarceration for their livelihood are concerned about prisons closing. But this is the 21st Century. No town’s economy should depend on people being caged in order to prosper. We must #CloseCAPrisons & invest in communities. #CloseCCC

In California you can still be fired from one law enforcement agency for misconduct and rehired at another.
We have to pass a decertification process.
This is long overdue.

The @latimes editorial board agrees- We must PASS #SB2 as #CA is now one of only FOUR states without a police decertification process. #KennethRossJr #BlackLivesMatter
