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.

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 @embracela and looking for viable ways to address inequity. (2/3)

We cannot heal what we will not face. This group had their @embracela conversation in partnership with a nearby school’s diversity & equity committee. 👏🏿👏🏽👏🏻👏🏾

[Community Coalition @CoCoSouthLA]

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.
