Event Description
In this discussion, community partners and funders will delve into the pivotal passage of Measure J in November 2020, where 2.1 million voters chose to allocate funds towards community counseling, mental health services, youth development programs, small businesses, job creation, and affordable housing instead of incarceration. This panel will explore how this historic decision transformed the landscape for community-based organizations in LA County. Additionally, we'll provide an update on the progress made over the last four years, highlighting the challenges encountered and sharing insights into what's next in the implementation phase.
