We are taking on the world’s largest jail system
Our movement — powered by Black Lives Matter, community organizations, and grassroots citizens– collected over 247,000 signatures to put a measure on the LA County March 3, 2020 ballot.
The 3 Core Issues
- Over incarceration of people who suffer from mental illness. LA County’s current practice prioritizes incarceration over treatment and perpetuates cycles of instability and homelessness.
- Substandard mental health care in jails, which results in jail based violence and self-harm.
- Lack of Accountability and Oversight of the Sheriff’s Department compromises the safety of people held in the jails and protects deputy corruption.
If we win, L.A. County will:
- Invest in rehabilitation and mental health treatment
- Reduce the jail population
- Root out corruption to prevent abuses by the Jails and Sheriff’s Department
