Loyola Project for the Innocent and L.A. Coalition for DA Justice and Accountability have organized a town hall and panel discussion to address criminal justice issues on the final Friday before the March 3rd primary at Portfolio Coffeehouse. Antwan “Banks” Williams and Eric “Maserati E” Abercrombie from the Ear Hustle podcast will be performing after the panel, and at least one of the District Attorney candidates, Rachel Rossi, will be available to discuss the District Attorney’s role and power. The invitation to candidates George Gascon and Jackie Lacey to discuss their respective platforms still stand.
In addition, the panel will speak about on LBGTQ issues, the criminalization of homelessness, police shootings, and marijuana-related charges, among other issues.
To RSVP, email Jess Farris, ACLU of Southern California Director of Criminal Justice, at jfarris@aclusocal.org.
