and where we’re headed next >>

FIRST, we ran our very first policing reform ballot measure in 2021 in Cleveland, OH using direct democracy to take the issue of police accountability to the people. And we won.

THEN, we supported organizers and activists in Los Angeles in putting forth a ballot measure that would instate new impeachment and removal proceedings for sheriffs — some of the most notoriously autonomous law enforcement officials.

LAST NIGHT, the measure was approved 4-1 by the Los Angeles Board of Supervisors, and will now officially go before voters in November.

NOW → LA voters have a real opportunity to hold their sheriff accountable and check the power of corrupt law enforcement.

Team, this is why we do what we do. Corrupt officials should not operate with complete impunity. Now, because we acted, LA voters are equipped with a direct vote about corrupt and violent police officers — they can empower oversight officials to fire them.

We want to work on more ballot measures that hold police accountable, but we need your backing. Contribute now to power campaigns like this all across the country >>
