Join us as we welcome back Los Angeles County District Attorney, George Gascon.
Currently, Gascon is campaigning for reelection in 2024. To quote a recent speech given by the DA: “This campaign is not about me, this is a community movement. This is about looking at the criminal justice system of the 21st Century not with a rearview mirror but looking forward. Reform is the collective work of people, both in our community and in the legal system -attorneys as well those who are being impacted, victims and accused. We’re fully committed to fighting for our shared values: investing in community health and safety while ending the death penalty, no longer prosecuting children as adults, and holding law enforcement and big corporations accountable.”
In this enlightening episode, you’ll gain insight into:
The truth about crime rates as we dispel misconceptions.
The potential of mental health beds as a solution to housing insecurity.
Gascon’s passionate journey to make a difference in his community as both a police officer and a prosecutor.
