Juvenile Probation in LA County costs over $500 million per year. If our best interest was in mind, that funding would go to support in schools, peacebuilders and mentors, youth career pathways, and robust reentry services. #YouthJusticeReimagined #FreeOurFuture
The number of youth at LA County Probation juvenile halls and camps has drastically decreased 📉
However, the targeting of black youth for arrest has dramatically increased 📈
Black children are unequally affected by the LA County criminal Justice system

Led by youth & community, LACountyBOS just voted unanimously to support the #YouthJusticeReimagined model for youth development in LA County! The time is NOW to move ALL Youth out of the Probation system & to focus on building communities of TRUE justice & healing!
L.A. County spent $800,000 to incarcerate ONE person last year. 🤯
That same money could provide a diversion path for 95 system-impacted youth or fund enrollment for 1,600 kids in youth development programs instead. 💯 #FullyFundCareFirst #YouthJusticeReimagined #CareFirstBudget
2 weeks ago, LA County CEO stated that the county would be allocating only $88M toward #CareFirst Community Investment this year. This is a drop in the bucket of the county’s overall $44B budget! WE NEED CARE FIRST NOW!

While LA County's most vulnerable populations struggle to access their basic needs, LACountyBOS keeps throwing money at the Sheriff's bloated budget! LASD receives $3.8B annually 🙅🏾♀️
