Living Under an Injunction
“I was arrested for taking out the trash after 10 p.m.”
Being on a gang injunction meant curfews, bans on colors (even Dodgers gear), and family separation—for people never convicted of a crime.
RJA exists to fight this legacy.

Legal Strategy Tip
RJA practitioners: Use gang injunction history as predicate evidence in future § 745 litigation—especially if the DA’s office has a pattern of targeting specific racial groups.
🧰Pair with AB 333 gang enhancement reforms for max effect.

Racial Disparity in Enforcement
💬 “The injunctions only targeted Latino gangs—not white supremacist groups in OC,” said Sean Garcia-Leys, Peace & Justice Law Center.
Under § 745(a)(1), such racially selective enforcement is squarely within RJA territory.
