#JailBedDrop: Los Angeles’ Fight Against a Multibillion-Dollar Jail

Patrisse Khan-Cullors

This Christmas Eve, JusticeLA is “dropping” beds outside shopping centers across Los Angeles County—from Inglewood to Calabasas—to encourage a public conversation about the fight for abolition. We are demanding an end to mass incarceration in the U.S. and our county’s investment in policing and jails.
