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
A typical Friday for the DPN Mutual Aid Team calls for the delivery of dozens of care packages to community members and families impacted by the carceral system. Hygiene, cleaning, baby supplies, as well as financial assistance.#MutualAid#AbolitionNow#CommunityCare#CareFirst

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…
1/3 BREAKING For only the third time in more than two decades, a law enforcement officer in LA County has been charged w a crime for shooting someone. DA @GeorgeGascon charged a Torrance officer w assault under color of authority for wounding a mentally ill man in 2018 @LAist
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

"The idea that Villanueva can ride into Venice and solve the problem is absurd, especially given that his only real tool is coercion." This op-ed from @LACANetwork says it all.
Op-Ed: Villanueva’s bogus Venice 'outreach' is just a cover for criminalizing homelessness https://t.co/W87pqr5jYY Pete White, LA CAN, responds to @LASDHQ Venice Beach incursion as pressure mounts. R/T
