While the LA County Board of Supervisors and County CEO debate and discuss the long overdue closure of Men’s Central Jail, there’s a stark reality we’re faced with each day:
Close Men’s Central Jail means close Men’s Central Jail, yet the County is now launching a search for an executive director to lead the closure, continuing to funnel sorely needed dollars for services into personnel and bureaucracy.
Our push for a more progressive county budget is showing results—we’ve never seen this level of investment in community services!
Yet, despite millions going to these programs, the carceral system still takes in trillions. 👀
The work is far from over.
Our communities deserve real investments that prioritize healing, care, and opportunity—NOT systems of punishment that disproportionately harm Black, Brown, and low-income folks.
@LACountyBOS, why are we spending more on harm and violence than on healing, prevention, and opportunity?
Our communities deserve better. We deserve real safety rooted in care, not incarceration.
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.
Community Victory! The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors endorses a NO position on #Prop36 🎉🎉
🚩Prop 36 will cost L.A. County taxpayers millions each year and strip funding from critical programs and services that Angelenos have benefited from.
We thank the @LACountyBOS for recognizing the harm Prop 36 will cause our communities in need of real investments NOT more incarceration. #PrisonSpendingScam
Thank you to this community for your advocacy & continued efforts to protect our progress. The fight continues to #StopProp36 this fall!
Today we joined @ACLU_SoCal, @CURBprisons, impacted people, and service providers to support LA as it votes #NoOnProp36.
📣 #Prop36 would cost CA taxpayers millions each year and strip funding from crime prevention programs that help communities thrive. https://t.co/X2KiNf3pBL
Three out of every 4 survey takers from our Care First Survey – or 75% – have spoken loud and clear: Accelerated investments in housing are a MUST!

Let's push for the change we need. 🏘️💪

Capping predatory prison phone rates is an important step toward helping incarcerated people and their loved ones stay connected.
Yet telecom companies have found new ways to raise prices for incarcerated people, from e-messaging fees to digitizing mail. https://t.co/nLpVlihl90
Incarcerating people always has consequences.
#Prop36 would increase local jail + court costs by tens of millions per year, diverting resources away from real solutions. Further destabilizing communities that need investment is no public safety solution. #StopProp36
