Joining @CABigCityMayors to advocate for $350 million in state funding to bring unhoused Angelenos indoors and safeguard our communities from COVID-19. As we work to advance racial justice, we must address the urgent disparities in health and homelessness. https://t.co/NpdaZKqtzJ — PolitiTweet.org

Proud to support @CAGovernor and @AsmMikeGipson's efforts to end the use of the carotid restraint by police departments across the state. LAPD has now banned its use. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Karen Bass @MayorOfLA

This moment has the potential to bend the arc of our future toward a more fair and just city and country for everyone, if we're willing to seize it. I hope Angelenos will stay engaged in the cause to bring transformational progress. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Karen Bass @MayorOfLA

I fully support @CityAttorneyLA's decision not to prosecute or seek punishment for those who broke curfew or failed to disperse during the recent protests, unless those cases involve violence, vandalism or looting. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Karen Bass @MayorOfLA

Thank you to all who marched for racial justice and equality for Black Americans this weekend. This is a pivotal moment. Here in L.A., we're starting by identifying $250M, including cuts to LAPD budget, to further invest in communities of color and confront structural racism. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Karen Bass @MayorOfLA

Proud to stand with @HouseDemocrats, @SenateDems, @TheBlackCaucus to support the #JusticeInPolicing Act. Congress must act now to pass this legislation & turn this moment into lasting change in how we hold police accountable & how we protect & serve communities across America. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Karen Bass @MayorOfLA

CA National Guard units will leave L.A. this evening, with a small number stationed nearby until June 10 if needed. I’m proud L.A. residents are leading a peaceful and powerful movement to build a fair, just, and equitable city. Full statement: https://t.co/EwtOnZlBNz — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Karen Bass @MayorOfLA

I strongly support @CABlackCaucus proposals from @SenHJMitchell, @AsmShirleyWeber and @AsmKamlagerDove to restore voting rights to those serving parole, improve emergency response services for historically-neglected communities, and seek reparations for the impact of slavery. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Karen Bass @MayorOfLA

Working with @RepKarenBass, @SenKamalaHarris @SenBooker and Congressional leaders, we will pursue a national standard on the use of force, independent federal investigations of police brutality, and consent decrees on departments with a pattern of brutality and discrimination. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Karen Bass @MayorOfLA

While our work for racial justice begins in L.A., it must echo throughout our state and across our nation. I will keep working with leaders in Sacramento and D.C. to advance legislation that protects Black lives and communities of color long denied equity in our laws. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Karen Bass @MayorOfLA

The city's new Civil and Human Rights Department and Civil and Human Rights Commission — which launch this summer — will protect anyone who lives, works in, or visits L.A. from discrimination or denial of equal treatment in private employment, housing, education, or commerce. — PolitiTweet.org

Join me live with Capri Maddox, who will lead our City’s new Civil and Human Rights Department, as we discuss our work for racial equity. https://t.co/dVJIvYe86e — PolitiTweet.org

This is a transformative moment for our city and I’m very pleased that the protests this week have been a peaceful and powerful call to tear down structural racism — in our communities and our institutions. — PolitiTweet.org

More info from the civilian LA Police Commission https://t.co/XDovXsaFbb — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Karen Bass @MayorOfLA

The civilian @OIGLABOPC is reviewing protest videos and will ensure a full investigation of incidents depicting excessive use of force, which could lead to officer discipline or removal. Every incident has a larger context but our officers must keep the peace, without violence. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Karen Bass @MayorOfLA

Harsh police tactics have no place in Los Angeles and tarnish the professionalism and care that thousands of officers — who work to end injustice — show each day. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Karen Bass @MayorOfLA

We must continue to slow the spread of this virus, and as you peacefully protest, please wear your face coverings, practice physical distancing, and sign up for a free COVID-19 test at https://t.co/rHWABmXUEl. — PolitiTweet.org
