Donnell's sister was killed by the Grim Sleeper. To cope, he drew.

1,500 people given a chance by surrounding them with treatment and care, not jail.

“It’s better for the community and the person if we don’t just give them 10 days in jail and then put them right back out where they started.”

We at LISC do not stand for white supremacy that at its core aims to pit our communities against each other.

@ailworth Congrats Erin! You're perfect for the gig.

[Stephen @sjceasar]

Forever thankful to @jeanguerre for this piece on our friend, Mando.

THREAD. Mando Montaño was the Trump-era journalist we all needed. A decade after his mysterious death, he taught me how to grieve him. I want you to help defy whatever took him by learning part of his story. https://t.co/qfPeiMWdRj @latimes

And as we work to grow LA’s ecosystem of care, it must be done in a way that ensures that organizations empowered during this period of investment reflect those most impacted by mass incarceration —communities of color and justice-involved individuals.

Hi! @LISC_LA is very excited to celebrate the first cohort of the ATI Incubation Academy, which is designed to build the capacity of grassroots CBOs, with a focus on BIPOC led groups, to meet the needs of justice-involved people in LA.

As Judge Armstead says in the video, you can't have alternatives to incarceration without effective alternatives – so we need to make sure that these leaders (who are already doing the work) can win contracts and shift the system away from punishment and to community-based care.

I know I keep saying it, but now that we're a full year into this thing I'm just blown away by how millions of teachers across the country have completely shifted and reimagined both their pedagogy and their role as educators to continue serving their students. It's incredible.

We know Black people and Latinos are suffering the most from COVID-19 — and there's growing evidence air pollution is at least partly to blame.

In this week's edition of Boiling Point, I look at maps showing the COVID/pollution nexus in Los Angeles:

...and through the LA Cooling Collaborative have identified realistic solutions that will save 1/4 lives during heatwaves and delay climate-change induced warming. Read this: https://t.co/MWFRKtItPq

"...neighborhoods that are poorer and have more residents of color can be 5 to 20 degrees Fahrenheit hotter in summer than wealthier, whiter parts of the same city.

And there’s growing evidence that this is no coincidence."

That's why we focus most all our work at @TreePeople_org in areas of LA that have the lowest tree coverage and endure increased heat-related illness and death due to urban heat (Northeast San Fernando Valley, Southeast LA and South LA)

Because the park is one of the few safe outdoor refuges in major cities, particularly ones where a yard is a luxury, more people are realizing what some have always known: the park is key to surviving big city life under difficult circumstances. My piece:

Y'all, it is 🔥HOT🔥

While you're cooling down, why not listen to my latest episode, Casting Shade? I talk about shade inequity, why redlined/predominantly Black neighborhoods are hotter, & why doctors should care.

[Sam Bloch @samkbloch]

It’s probably a coincidence that none of these places are in South Central or East LA or most of the Valley
