Our fight to end mass incarceration and protect those who are impacted by it has taken huge leaps forward in the first few months of 2024.
We’ve had major developments in one of our central lanes of work: eliminating solitary confinement.

NEW report: Jail populations have exploded over the last 4 decades while getting almost none of the attention prisons do.
It’s clear the US has a reliance on excessive jailing. But how did we get here? 🧵

Los Angeles’ jails have claimed the lives of at least 40 people this year. To prevent even more deaths, the county must reduce the jail population.
Our new tool is holding the county accountable and tracking its progress towards decreasing incarceration: vera.org/care-first-la-track…

LA has been terrorized by deputy gangs for over 5 decades. More than 120 community & labor organizations across LA have come together to get Measure A (@YesOnALA) on the ballot.

#SB731 was signed into law by @GavinNewsom!
#SB731 will finally give people with past serious and violent felonies a chance to clean their records in hopes of securing better jobs, stable housing, pathways in higher-ed, and much more!

VICTORY!! After one impactful live public comment after another, the Board of Supervisors just voted 4-1 to pass the motion that will begin the month-long process to create a charter amendment proposal for common sense checks & balances & accountability of the sheriff. #LASDgangs
LARRP retweeted
BIG indeed! For the record, @CheckSheriff and families impacted by sheriff violence have been urging @LACountyBOS to do this, and finally, just now the Supervisors voted 4-1 to begin the process to bring about our charter amendment for sheriff accountability. Democracy in action!
BIG: @LACountyBOS took first step today toward seeking power to eject elected sheriffs from office
@ACLU_SoCal @BLMLA @CheckSheriff support the move, aimed at @LACoSheriff
Sole dissenter @kathrynbarger said it's a bad idea to base policy on one sheriff

🎊WE DID IT 🎊 thanks to everyone who joined us in sending THOUSANDS of emails and calls to the board to make this happen. It’s about time we #CheckTheSheriff
LA County supervisors just voted 4-1 to move forward with asking voters in November for power to remove a sheriff for cause. Supervisor Barger voted no.

VICTORY! After months of advocacy by our coalition and families impacted by sheriff violence, @LACountyBOS just voted 4-1 to begin the month-long process to refer to the voters the people’s charter amendment for common sense checks and balances and accountability of the sheriff.
LARRP retweeted
In February, @CheckSheriff and families impacted by sheriff violence urged @LACountyBOS to refer to voters a charter amendment for common sense checks and balances and accountability of the sheriff.
On Tues., 7/12, they will vote to #CheckTheSheriff.

We need a charter that works for the people of Los Angeles today and tomorrow and gives us meaningful tools for when a sheriff violates the public trust.
Tell the supervisors @LACountyBOS to vote yes on Agenda Item 12 to bring about a charter amendment to #CheckTheSheriff.
LARRP retweeted
Angelenos have faced a culture of corruption and impunity in the sheriff's department that comes from the very top and is left unchecked. Creating checks and balances on the sheriff is long overdue, and amending our county charter can ensure essential oversight of the sheriff.

Before the week is over we would be remiss if we didn’t mention the huge win for the California budget plan!
We want to thank the Governor, legislative leaders, our partners, and supporters who joined us in calling for #SafetyNow investments to keep our communities safe!
