For three years, the LAPD, City Council, City Attorney, and Mayor Villaraigosa have waged a $115 million war against poor and predominantly Black people in downtown Los Angeles. After 27,000 arrests , SCI has cost downtown residents our basic human rights. Casting aside empirical evidence that clearly illustrated the depth of damage to people’s lives; the waste of precious and shrinking resources that could be better utilized to create housing opportunities which cost a fraction of what is being spent; and the creation of a perpetual class of homeless people are all costs that the Mayor continues to willingly pay in his quest for a gentrified downtown Los Angeles.
Residents in downtown Los Angeles have railed against this merciless occupation since its inception. Many have sacrificed their freedom to ensure that the human rights of all people are steadfastly defended and protected. As we approach the 3rd Anniversary of this catastrophic initiative we are calling on you again to help us put an end to this disastrous campaign of horrors, once and for all!
Tell the LAPD, City Council, City Attorney, and Mayor Villaraigosa: end Safer Cities!
