In the wake of the murder of George Floyd, civic discourse in Los Angeles has been centered around talk of reimagining public safety. Many people have asked, “what does that really mean and how does it keep neighborhoods safe?”

You can find out first-hand, from the community organizers who have been calling for ways to provide for public safety, public health, and emergency response through alternatives to policing. In an online event moderated by former CNN anchor Carol Costello, representatives from Black Lives Matter LA and Peoples Budget LA will share their vision and answer your questions.

Many Angelenos are coming to understand that our system of public safety makes many people feel unsafe. They want to know why and how. They want to hear different perspectives, and they want to know how to make everyone in Los Angeles feel safe, regardless of zip code, race, or skin color.

Please join Councilmember Mike Bonin and your neighbors this Monday at 7pm for a virtual town hall event. The event will be streamed on Councilmember Bonin's Facebook page (Facebook.com/MikeBoninCD11). RSVP below to receive a link to join the town hall.
