Tell the Board of Supervisors to Reimagine LA County

Right now, L.A. County spends 42% of taxpayer money on law enforcement and the legal system, including the Sheriff’s $3.4 Billion budget. It’s time to reduce spending on systems of violence and invest in the things that actually keep us safe: mental health services, youth development programs, small businesses, jobs-creation, and affordable housing.

Re-Imagine LA County is a ballot initiative that would amend the county charter to create a permanent funding source for housing stability, community re-investment and alternatives to incarceration (ATI).

So what does that mean? It means that the LA County voters will have a chance to lock in at least 10% of the County budget for supportive services and those funds WOULD NOT be used for law enforcement or incarceration! But in order to get this initiative on the ballot, we need the approval of the LA County Board of Supervisors.

Supervisors Kuehl & Solis introduced a motion to approve the ballot measure and now we need your support to get this transformative initiative through the finish line!

Join JusticeLA and the Re-Imagine LA County Coalition in demanding that the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approve the ballot initiative today!

Dear L.A. County Board of Supervisors,
As a resident of LA County, I want to thank you for your strong leadership and dedicated focus on care and supportive services. You have demonstrated a clear commitment to supporting the values of LA residents, and I applaud the steps you have taken to make Los Angeles a more just, safe, and healthy community. I look to you now to fully fund and implement the Board’s Care First vision by approving the Re-Imagine LA ballot Initiative. It is clear that lack of affordable housing, lack of community investment, and an over-reliance on incarceration have created a monumental crisis for our county, well before the COVID-19 pandemic. Significant investment in these services are the answer to tackling both the pandemic and the long-standing crises of racial and economic inequality in LA County. I strongly support the Re-Imagine LA Ballot Initiative and believe LA County residents will overwhelmingly support this transformative shift come November. Allowing the people of LA County to demonstrate their support for the Board’s vision will propel the ATI process forward and ensure that Black, brown and low-income families in our district receive the services they need during and after this crisis. The charter amendment provides a pathway for relief and is a pragmatic next step to ensure that this Board’s Care First mission continues long after you leave office. We all understand that in order to repair generations of racial and economic injustice, it will take transformative action. This Board has already taken great steps, but in order to truly address the overwhelming hardship in our county, we will need far more investment than 10% of net county costs in three years. I strongly encourage the Board to realize your promise of care and equity by shifting funding into the ATI Fund to begin the implementation of the ATI Final Report’s 26 foundational recommendations. The people of Los Angeles deserve reinvestment at a scale greater than the level of injustice. Thank you for the work you have done so far to promote justice and equity in LA County. I hope that you demonstrate your commitment by approving the Re-Imagine LA Ballot Initiative and fully funding ATI this fiscal year. Sincerely,
