People's Budget LA Coalition The People’s Budget LA is a coalition led by Black Lives Matter-Los Angeles demanding a city budget that invests in the wellbeing of our communities with a priority on supporting Black people. Get involved in the LA city budget process and be a part of the movement to defund the police and reimagine

Take the #PeoplesBudgetLA Survey because we need concrete data that can help us organize for #CareNotCops! LINK: peoplesbudgetla.com#BlackLivesMa... #BLMLA @blmlosangeles

In John Lee's message to constituents he says to "defend not defund LAPD" and cites a youth enrichment program as a model to follow. Huh? I'm guessing @PplsCityCouncil @WVPple #PeoplesBudgetLA don't agree.

Lest you think the #PeoplesBudgetLA came out of nowhere, highly recommend this column from @velvetmelvis which explains how the many years of organizing by @BLMLA and partners got us to this...

Supporting the push to #DefundThePolice and adopt the #PeoplesBudgetLA is not just a social justice issue. It’s a climate justice issue as well. Why do you hate the planet, @MayorOfLA

If you spent 51% of your income on guns and tactical equipment, you’d be on a government watch list, but when the @MayorOfLA does it he says it’s to keep us safe. #DefundThePolice and support the #PeoplesBudgetLA

Cutting $150 million sounds like a lot until you remember that it’s basically a rounding error when your budget is as big as LAPD’s. @MayorOfLA #DefundThePolice and enact #PeoplesBudgetLA.

In the past it's been impossible to get any political traction on the idea that our tax money is better spent on meeting people's needs rather than criminalizing what happens when those needs aren't met. I hope that changes now. #PeoplesBudgetLA @MayorOfLA

I met some kind officers and some indifferent officers, but none of them had the tools and resources to deal with this situation. They aren't mental health professionals. Their options were to refuse to do anything (happened often) or to arrest the person. #PeoplesBudgetLA /cont

When I lived in #DTLA I called the police too many times to count because people with severe mental illness were in need of help or were acting violently because of untreated illness. I called the police because there was no one else to call #PeoplesBudgetLA @MayorOfLA /cont

I support defunding the police even though I have a close family member who a police officer and have had many positive personal encounters with the LAPD and @CityAttorneyLA. Here's why. #PeoplesBudgetLA @MayorOfLA /cont

As climate change worsens our fire seasons, the LAFD will be more vital than ever, but they only get 1/3 of the LAPD’s budget & deal with the city’s aging infrastructure. Invest in the people who save homes, not who shoot into them. @MayorOfLA #DefundThePolice #PeoplesBudgetLA

The @MayorOfLA is able to cut $150 million from the LAPD and it barely makes a dent in their budget.

By contrast, the projected budget for homelessness in LA is $430 million.

#DefundThePolice and support #PeoplesBudgetLA

The movement for #PeoplesBudgetLA and #HealthyLA calls on @MayorOfLA to listen to the voices of people with #LivedExpertise.

If @MayorOfLA thinks he can offer us a pat on the head and a fraction of the LAPD’s massive budget, he’s as out of touch as he is spineless. It’s time to #DefundThePolice and adopt the #PeoplesBudgetLA.

Hey the @MayorOfLA your proposed cuts to the LAPD budget are far far too small. We need more drastic action - enact the #PeoplesBudgetLA , and put money into #CareNotCops. #DefundThePolice !

The LA city budget is currently under consideration. Click here to easily send city council an email and tell them to enact the #PeoplesBudgetLA ! Easy peasy (also they get scared if lots of people are suddenly paying attention

People's Budget 2024 Survey As Angelenos gear up for city-wide elections, Mayor Karen...

LA City Council and the Mayor are working on our city budget right now. Their budget prioritizes police and defunds services. Show them what YOU care about with this survey from #PeoplesBudgetLA https://peoplesbudgetla.com/survey/

I always got weird looks or talked down when I suggested we should be redirecting funding from law enforcement to housing and services for unhoused people. Respect to the organizers and protestors who are changing the narrative. #PeoplesBudgetLA...

'People's Budgets' Movement Takes on Police Reform As national protesters call for defunding police, a movement for anti-racist “people’s budgets” is spreading from LA to Nashville to Grand Rapids.

People’s Budget campaign are winning, helping to #DefundThePolice.

And to win in the long term they can set #participatorybudgeting as a policy, to build community control.

Hi, @davideryu! As one of your Los Feliz constituents, I demand that you reject the current budget proposal giving the majority of its funding to the LAPD and support the principles of the #PeoplesBudgetLA.
