A grift is a grift, and while L.A. County shifts BILLIONS into the Sheriffs and carceral systems, deputy gangs continue to operate with violence, secrecy, and little accountability.

On September 15, the Board of Supervisors can take a critical step toward changing that by voting YES on Supervisor Holly J. Mitchell’s motion to identify deputy gangs within LASD and strengthen independent accountability.

Our communities should not have to fund the systems that harm us.

When communities have the resources to lead, lived experience becomes lasting change.

Through Care First Community Investment (CFCI), The Social Impact Center has expanded healing-centered reentry support, strengthened legal advocacy, created paid fellowships for justice-impacted leaders, and built programs that treat lived experience as expertise.

This is what Measure J was built to do: move resources into communities most impacted by incarceration and invest in solutions shaped by the people closest to the challenges.

In our latest blog, Daniel Rodriguez from the Social Impact Center shares how CFCI funding has helped them move beyond providing services to also building leadership, healing, and long-term community power.

📖 Read the full story and see what’s possible when we invest in Care First.

These resources belong in our communities. We have to keep fighting to make sure they stay there.

Closing Men’s Central Jail was never supposed to take over a decade.

L.A. County has pushed the estimated closure timeline to 2031—another delay that means more people subjected to harmful conditions and more public dollars invested in incarceration instead of care.

The County already made a promise to close MCJ. Now it must invest in the housing, health, treatment, and community-based services needed to make that promise real.

2031 is not urgency. It’s another delay.

This Black August, we remember Angela Davis and Jonathan Jackson—two figures whose lives are deeply connected to the history of Black liberation and resistance.

📚 Angela Davis’ scholarship and activism have shaped generations of thinking about incarceration, racism, abolition, and freedom.

✊🏿 At just 17, Jonathan Jackson became part of the Black liberation movement. His death during the 1970 Marin County courthouse incident remains part of the history commemorated during Black August.

Their stories offer an opportunity to study the history of Black resistance, understand the systems people challenged, and reflect on the ideas that continue to shape conversations about freedom today.

Accountability means making sure promises become action.

This morning, Measure J Co-Chair and L.A. City Councilmember Eunisses Hernandez showed up at the L.A. County Board of Supervisors meeting to support a motion that centers multidisciplinary expertise in jail closure planning—and to remind the Board of the commitment it made to close Men’s Central Jail.

Closing MCJ requires more than promises. It requires a real plan, the right expertise, and sustained investment in the community-based care and services that make decarceration possible.

The County made a promise. We’re here to make sure they keep it.

Black August honors the lives, sacrifices, and ideas of Black freedom fighters and political prisoners while recognizing the long history of Black resistance in the United States.

This month offers an opportunity to study the people, events, and movements that have shaped conversations about justice, self-determination, and community.

Freedom fighters like Assata Shakur and George Jackson continue to be studied for their writings and the questions they raised about race, incarceration, and the pursuit of freedom.

This Black August, take time to read, reflect, and learn from the histories that continue to shape our present.

Community voices won today.

✅ Item 8 passed unanimously, 5–0, advancing a new approach to Probation budgeting that moves us closer to greater transparency, accountability, and investment in young people.

After powerful testimony from system-impacted youth and community members, Supervisor Hahn ultimately voted yes after considering an abstention.

✅ Item 62 passed 4–1, approving the motion to advance a stronger, independent Ethics Commission.

Supervisor Barger cast the lone no vote against stronger ethics.

Thank you to everyone who showed up and spoke out. Your voices helped move these important measures forward.
