REIMAGINE L.A. COUNTY
[link removed]
Right now, L.A. County spends 42% of taxpayer money on law enforcement and the legal system.

It’s time to invest in community counseling, mental health services, youth development programs, small businesses, jobs-creation, and affordable housing. Individual elected leaders come and go. But we have a chance to structurally change the budget and permanently enshrine our values in the county charter.

FREEDOM HARVEST: HEALING PORTALS CONCERT
[link removed]

Register TODAY for Dignity and Power Now's virtual Freedom Harvest: Healing Portals Concert leading up to Labor Day weekend on September 3rd 6 - 8PM PT.

DPN’s Healing Justice legacy is one that has created healing portals outside of L.A. County jails for the past 7 years! Connecting with families visiting their loved ones is at the heart of our work.

This concert will raise awareness of Dignity and Power Now’s efforts to defund prisons and imagine alternatives to incarceration. The muti-media experience will feature a variety of music including Hip-Hop, Cumbia, Jazz and R&B and feature poetry and the works of visual artists.

BODY CAMERAS & POLICE DEPARTMENTS
[link removed]
“When you think about body cameras without the proper context, they sound great,” says Lex Steppling, of Dignity and Power Now ([link removed]) . “But cameras are part of a continuum that gives police more power and more funding from the state. They’re not used for justice, and they’re definitely not used to benefit victims and their families.”
