SHUT IT DOWN: Spotting White Supremacy in Long Beach

October 30th at 6 pm

[JusticeLA @JusticeLANow]

Prop 25 is VERY bad. TLDR: An Enron exec profits off of a racist algorithm that literally expands the power of judges and law enforcement. Don’t get duped.

Vote #NoOn25#EndMoneyBail #EndPretrialRacism on @noonprop25ca

[Reform LA Jails @ReformLAJails]

If you believe we need to stop pretrial racism and mass incarceration, join @OsopePatrisse, @PowerDignity, @hrw, @bailproject, @ReformLAJails, @ColorOfChange, @LACANetwork, and many others in voting #NoOn25

Measure J would prioritize mental health care, housing, and jobs in L.A. County's budget.

It is a historic opportunity for reform.

7-year anniversary read on #BlackLivesMatter in @thelasentinel.
I am forever indebted to my dearest sister-friend-comrade @OsopePatrisse for her vision & for summoning us together and to our movement-family for breathing life into this beautiful struggle. https://t.co/tCqISIL5XF

[Jeremiah Dobruck @jeremiahdobruck]

We're still digging into a huge cache of data about who Long Beach police decide to stop, but @KellyPuenteLB has the latest story: 62% of all fare evasion stops were of Black bus/train riders—which is widely out of proportion with ridership demographics. https://t.co/g3VCNJ092p

[SURJ Long Beach @surjlbc]

TOMORROW 9am: @BLMLBC press conference calling for an independent investigation into LBPD and white supremacist corruption.

[SURJ Long Beach @surjlbc]

On 7/21/18 Fred Taft was murdered by a white man in Pan American park in Long Beach. LBPD has been worse than useless in bringing Fred’s killer to justice. Please join us, Fred’s family and @BLMLBC on Tues. 7/7 at 9 am in PanAm Park call for an independent investigation.

NEW DATA: When Long Beach police pull over Black drivers, officers order them out of their cars twice as frequently as white drivers. They're also searched much more often even though they're found with less contraband. https://t.co/O3yxLr9LY9
