The State Treasurer and Director of Finance are now in a position to impose "Trigger Cuts" in the state budget totaling nearly $950 million of further losses to essential programs. These cuts would further devastate the most vulnerable in our communities by endangering critical services, less than two months after California passed close to $15 billion in cuts to health care, education and social services. These cuts cause further harm to an economy that needs improvement. Now is not the time to diminish our investment in LA's communities.

On Friday, November 7th at 10:00am, community organizations who worked intensely against Proposition 6 will announce their unprecedented victory in soundly defeating this draconian proposition. With record numbers of young people, immigrants and communities of color voting, historic unity was built among different generations and communities to reject this " lock-em-up and throw away the key" proposal. We see the defeat of Prop 6 as an opportunity to focus on bringing peace to all of our neighborhoods through investment in education, employment and other vital services.
