National Lawyers Guild Los Angeles is working with coalition partners to launch a court-watching program in L.A. criminal courts to monitor and expose exorbitant fines and fees, criminalization of poverty/homelessness, as well as disparate impacts of criminal punishments on communities of color.

We invite you to become a court-watcher and attend this upcoming training to get involved. Also, follow @CourtWatchLA on Twitter to stay updated.

Join the ACLU of Southern California and Orange County Racial Justice Collaborative for workshop #7 of our public education workshop series about the role and power of a sheriff and sheriff department operations. This workshop will focus on the need for transparency and accountability in Orange County. We will discuss the authority and role of federal, state and local agencies in investigating misconduct within the OC Sheriff’s Department and the power of community organizing and advocacy.

Parking is available in the structure adjacent to the Xerox Centre.

Please RSVP on People Power
