THREAD. What's going on in West Hollywood should alarm you. A growing movement of residents is seeking to spend small portion of City's safety funds (17%) on social services instead of armed bureaucrats. Mayor is working behind scenes with Sheriff to stop it. A fascinating story:

ACTION! Tell the CA Legislature & @CaGovernor to STOP rubber stamping @CACorrections outrageous prison spending. We need a plan for prison closure prioritizing public health, labor solutions & social justice—like CURB’s People’s Plan for Prison Closure

We need full funding for this voter-approved investment. A whole $900 million’s worth.
Let the Board of Supervisors know that the answer to our region’s problems is full funding for community services: reimagine.la/take-action

📢 Action Alert! Send an email to the CA Senate TODAY to tell them that $18.6 billion in carceral spending is NOT how we achieve public health & safety! We must continue to envision a healthier & more equitable California. Toolkit here: bit.ly/SenSub5Toolkit #CloseCAPrisons

The #COVID19 vaccines work. These recs reinforce @CDCgov’s commitment to protect as many ppl as possible from COVID-19.
All 3 COVID-19 vaccines authorized in the US are safe & highly effective– demonstrated by the over 400 million doses already given. bit.ly/3njCEWK
CDC recommends that certain populations get a #COVID19 booster shot. See if you're eligible: bit.ly/3njCEWK.

#Parents: While most children who get #COVID19 don’t get very sick, rates of severe COVID-19 illness and hospitalization are going up in kids and teens.
Get your children ages 12 and older vaccinated to help protect them and your family.

The #DeltaVariant is more dangerous than other variants of the virus that causes #COVID19.
Get vaccinated as soon as you can. If you’re in an area of substantial or high transmission, wear a mask indoors in public, even if you’re fully vaccinated.
