While celebrating the @la_city_council vote to end pretextual stops by LAPD yesterday, @blmlosangeles Sheila Bates urged continuing the fight to make the @lapdcommission follow through with this commitment and urged passage of the People's Budget. #PUSHLA

The Wednesday vote by the @LACity Council to end LAPD's pretextual stops practice was truly historic. Check out coverage on @KTLA: bit.ly/4uvqgUA

Those who don't want us to vote know what happens when we show up: We set the direction for the nation. We protect our families and communities. And we know there's nothing to fear. Drop boxes are open NOW, so turn in your ballot ASAP. 6/2 is the last day to vote. #CantStopCA

Yesterday, the @LAcitycouncil voted to ban LAPD pretextual stops, which have caused so much damage to Black and brown communities in our city. John Kim detailed some of the damage and celebrated the courage of the decision. Now, the Police Commission must follow through.

Two months ago, Brian Jointer, a father, told @LACityCouncil members of his encounter with @LAPD. Today at 10 a.m., the full council will decide whether to ban such pretextual stops. Tell the council: these stops harm our communities and waste public dollars. BAN THE STOPS.

The fear let loose in our communities through HR1 is taking people's health hostage. At our 4/8 event, @sjhealthca's Jim Mangia described how his doctors now take medicine—and food—to patients too petrified to go to the doctor. Catch the full conversation: bit.ly/LoomingCrisisD…

At our 4/8 panel discussion, LA County Supervisor Holly J. Mitchell said Angelenos are already feeling the pinch from HR1: seven of 13 health clinics have closed because of what she called a political decision by the federal government. Catch more: bit.ly/LoomingCrisisD…

At our panel discussion on the consequences from HR1, Sasha Feldstein from @CalBudgetCenter described the choices CA will have to make because of HR1. The wealthy choose personal chefs, the rest of us choose whether to eat. Check out the conversation at: bit.ly/LoomingCrisisD…

At the panel on 4/9, @EFRU's Dr. Nicole Maccalla said workers and others rebuilding Altadena after the Eaton Fire need protection from the contaminants the fire unleashed. People power can move the needle here. Stream: bit.ly/420ca1c. Live maps: bit.ly/RedTapetoRecov…
