Recap:

  • At the LAPC Commision last Tuesday, Black LIves Matter-LA, Stop LAPD Spying, White People 4 Black Lives, LA CAN and allies,  called out the LA Police Commission for refusing to hold killer cops accountable after they steal our loved ones and take much needed resources away from our community. 

  • At our #EndPoliceAssociations rally to End Police Associations, we raised our voices for justice in memory of the thousands of lives that have been lost at the hands of police and state-sanctioned violence. We were joined by Malcolm X Commemoration Committee co-founder Zayid Muhammad…all the way from New Jersey. Join us every Wednesday as we fight for the end of the Los Angeles Police Protective League and every other police association. 

  • Faith leaders, organizers, workers, and community members gathered for a rally and call to Friday prayer, demanding a #CeasefireNow as a minimum and moral imperative that Los Angeles City Council must pass. Co-convened by BLMLA, BLM Grassroots, Islah-LA, CAIR-California, Latino-Muslim Unity, Jewish Voice for Peace, Muslim Public Affairs Council, If Not Now, Islamic Shura Council and Labor for Palestine the event was a unifying demonstration of moral and spirit led movement building. 

  • On our radio program, This Is Not a Drill!, aired live on KBLA 1580 AM last Saturday. Our own Joseph Williams and Liv Francis were joined by Jasmyne Cannick for a deep discussion on Black Pride. #MoreThanAHashtag conversation with the family of #DonnellRochester Missed it?
