As we approach one of the most consequential elections of our lifetimes, for Angelenos and Californians, there is so much more at stake than just who wins the U.S. Presidency. BLMLA has led the charge to unseat racist, disgraced Los Angeles City Councilman Kevin de León, who is up for reelection in the 14th District. In addition we have been fighting to prevent Nathan Hochman from assuming the District Attorney's Office as he threatens to undo years of progressive work. 

Hochman is a proponent of Proposition 36 which threatens to rollback major hardfought statewide judicial and carceral reforms won by our grassroots organizing efforts (so vote NO on 36!).  Even more, we have an opportunity to ban chattel slavery in the state by passing Proposition 6, and supporting housing for Angelenos by passing Measure A.

As we prepare to VOTE by next Tuesday, November 5th, we must also constantly ORGANIZE. TODAY AT 2:30PM we are mobilizing to oppose the appointment of Jim McDonnell as LAPD Chief at the City Council Public Safety Committee. When Mayor Bass named McDonnell as her pick for Chief, it demonstrated a betrayal of the community - which had chased him out of the Sheriff’s office in 2018. Organizing is key in advancing our own interests and holding elected officials accountable.

#VoteAndOrganize!
