Thrilled to see AB988 pass the Senate & Assembly with strong bipartisan support. This will provide crucial resources for mental health crisis response through 9-8-8 in LA County. Thank you Asm @BauerKahan for putting this forward. @CAgovernor we look forward to seeing you sign!

To everyone who helped make this historic moment possible, I am more grateful than I can express. I have no doubt that returning this land will be one of the most important things I have been involved with in my career.
Thank you to Kavon Ward, who brought this issue to public attention, to Sup. @HollyJMitchell and Sen. @SteveBradford for their partnership, to Kyla Coates in my office, to our County Counsel Tom Faughnan, and to Dr. D'Artagnan Scorza who led the charge from the CEO's office.
At long last, victory has been won for the Bruce family:
The Board of Supervisors has voted unanimously to return Bruce’s Beach to the great-grandsons of Willa and Charles Bruce. After more than a year of hard work, today we have made history and taken a step towards justice.
We do still need the State to lift restrictions and let the property be transferred from the @CountyofLA to the Bruce family.
That’s why we also passed another motion sponsoring SB 796, a bill introduced in the Legislature by Sen. @SteveBradford which does just that.
The votes are in: LA County will begin the process of returning Bruce’s Beach to the descendants of Charles and Willa Bruce 👏👏👏
We’ve given the green light to my proposal with @HollyJMitchell to have us draft a master plan to get this done as quickly and smartly as we can.

This is history in the making. What I want most out of this moment is for girls and young women to see us and know they are full of potential. Being a woman is not a disadvantage in leadership—it's an asset.

We just approved my plan to re-examine the State funding LA County receives from #AB109 to manage our jails.
We have a rare opportunity to get away from our over-reliance on incarceration & re-invest in treatment & services. I believe we should take it. https://t.co/BoesDC6GA1
Thanks everyone who spoke out in support of our use of force reform motion. Many of you shared your personal experiences with police violence and I appreciate the courage it took to do that.
These reforms can't be the end, they have to be the beginning.
These are 8 steps law enforcement depts can take right now that are proven to reduce the # of people killed by police and Sheriff’s deputies.
