Most of us want similar things: a safe neighborhood, a healthy family, and good schools for our children. But for nearly four decades, big corporations have not been paying their share, leaving California at the bottom third of U.S. states in quality public education.

Join us on Sunday, December 15, at noon to learn how you can be an advocate for your schools and community!

Then, help us collect signatures to put the Schools and Communities First Campaign Act of 2020 on the ballot, an effort which will reprioritize and reinvest in our schools and communities by closing a 40 year old corporate property tax loophole.

A special way to support the ACLU SoCal's mission and work is to bid on auctions and sweepstakes on exciting experiences and special items. Check this page for current and upcoming items up for bid. See other ways to stand for justice and support the ACLU SoCal.

EBAY AUCTIONS

Your district attorney has a profound impact on the criminal justice system. Join us to hear in person what the L.A. county DA candidates have to say about justice and safety.

Moderated by USC professor Jody Armour, the debate will help uncover the candidates' visions for L.A. County’s criminal justice system. Immediately following the debate, enjoy complimentary wine and explore the California African American museum to the stylings of DJ Kita.

L.A. County District Attorney Candidate Debate
Wednesday, December 11, 6 - 9:30 p.m.
California African American Museum
600 State Dr.
Los Angeles, CA 90037

Candidates participating in this forum:

• George Gascón
• Rachel Rossi
• Richard Ceballos

Invited: Jackie Lacey

Find out where the DA candidates stand on the issues that matter most. They'll hear from people who have lost loved ones to law enforcement, experienced houselessness, received draconian gang enhancements, feared immigration consequences of DA actions, and been exonerated from death row.

RSVP to reserve your spot today!

This event is presented by the L.A. Coalition for DA Justice and Accountability.
