Investing in prevention, education, employment, & youth development programs = investments in our FUTURE We must align budgeting priorities with community-based needs & fully fund a #CareFirstBudget ! @HildaSolis @HollyJMitchell @SheilaKuehl @SupJaniceHahn @kathrynbarger
Ready to Rise is channeling government and private funds toward local groups providing support to youth. Organizers hope it can be a model for communities seeking better ways to reduce crime and curb incarceration. insidephilanthropy.com/home/2022/5/10…
Don’t tell me that $800k is too expensive for building a housing unit that will house people for generations - when the county currently spends $1 million a year incarcerating one young person in an LA County probation camp.
"The Sentencing Project showed that in 2019, 41% of the children incarcerated nationally were Black, even though Black children make up only 15% of the nation’s youth." propublica.org/article/if-the…
When a young person is locked up, they are separated from family, teachers, and other caring adults and friends in the community. #AB2417 informs incarcerated youth about their rights and lets them know how to protect themselves and where to turn to for help. #YouthBillofRights
A #YouthBillofRights already exists in CA law, but it only applies to youth prisons. CA needs to protect these rights in county youth facilities. #AB2417 will give incarcerated youth across CA a Bill of Rights so they can be safe, protected, and empowered. #youthjustice
Following #SBLVI, we want to continue to shine a spotlight on the Legacy Program and the work these organizations do. Today, we are excited to recognize four organizations from the Youth Development pillar that include @IHADLA, @IOWriters, @KidsInSpotlight, @lasfotosproject.
"Many people in the sector did internalize and exert tight control over others to achieve their own goals...And here I am 23 years later, still trying to disrupt the inequitable systems that #philanthropy has held onto." Don't miss @JMarcial8's story: trustbasedphilanthropy.org/stories/julio-…
My latest story: at 16 years old, Jimmy Wu committed a crime that led to 13 ½ years of incarceration. In an LA juvenile hall, InsideOUT Writers introduced him to creative writing. He's now exec. director of @IOWriters and teaching at @UCLAarts → ucla.in/3GZCZpy

Youth arrests in LA County are at all-time low, but you wouldn't know it from watching the news.
As of right now, the L.A. County Board of Supervisors has only invested 21% of the $900 million voters approved though Measure J. That's money we need now. That's money that voters demanded they invest. Where is the remaining 79% of what voters approved? 🤔
So proud of @IOWriters for being selected as part of the @SuperBowl LVI Legacy Program. So well deserved! Hear some of our favorite @IOWriters on our podcast, Written Off. @LASEC #LASuperBowlHC #WrittenOff Listen: link.chtbl.com/writtenoff Watch: youtu.be/UuUcVjyG7_g
Thank you @Alienware for giving us an opportunity to support our communities with #TheAlienwareUpdate. Thank you @IOWriters & @BlackGirlsCode for the important work you do to change lives and make the future bright. Congrats again @DamienHaas & @TheGeekEntry!
It has been a long delay, and we have not seen enough political will and follow-through from the Board of Supervisors to invest in the services L.A. County needs. We must continue that work to reimagine L.A. now. Read our op-ed in the @latimes: reimagine.la/op-ed 🧵
Our CEO Baby Salcedo and Megan Castillo, coordinator for @reimagine_la have written an op-ed in the @latimes urging the L.A. County Board of Supervisors to finally pass a budget that reflects a #CareFirstBudget. Read and share the op-ed: reimagine.la/op-ed
We now need the Board of Supervisors (@LACountyBOS) to honor the wishes of more than 2 million voters and put more money toward much-needed services immediately.
Let’s go @RamsNFL & @RamsCommunity! Honored to be an @NFL Super Bowl LVI Legacy Program grantee. Thank you, @LA84Foundation, @PlayEquityFund and @LASEC for this amazing recognition!

My latest story: at 16 years old, Jimmy Wu committed a crime that led to 13 ½ years of incarceration. In an LA juvenile hall, InsideOUT Writers introduced him to creative writing. He's now exec. director of @IOWriters and teaching at @UCLAarts → ucla.in/3GZCZpy

A massive budget comes with a huge responsibility to invest in our people & communities #CareNotCages #CareFirst @CountyofLA
@CountyofLA’s $39.3 BILLION budget is bigger than the budgets of roughly 30 U.S. states. And we’re not just talking about the little states like Delaware and Rhode Island. L.A. County’s budget is bigger than the state budgets of Nevada, Colorado, and Louisiana. 🧵
Join the Townhall on Wed 2/23 to ensure L.A. County invests the $900M in community services that the people voted for! Register today at reimagine.la/town-hall
Budget transparency, government accountability, and community care. That’s what we want. And that’s what we’ll fight for until Care First, formerly known as #MeasureJ, is fully funded and resources reach our communities.
