Dear Supporter,
Thank you for taking action against the massive jail plan and for investment in alternatives that we know will support a strong Los Angeles.
Late last week we saw that there is a package of motions that the board will be discussing on Tuesday which includes the massive jail plan, the creation of an Office of Diversion and Reentry, and the creation of a Gender Responsive Advisory Board and a Prop.47 task force.
The women’s jail is moving faster than any other part of the plan. And we need to tell them to stop the women’s jail plan now!
There are documented human rights abuses that are happening in the current women’s jail and a major need to invest in diversion for people that are experiencing these horrific conditions.
