The #JusticeLA Coalition and our members are against spending over a billion dollars toward the construction of 2,400 new jail beds for people with mental health needs and it runs counter to the Board’s “care first, jail last” ethos driving the alternatives to incarceration work in the County. We urge you to join us for our July coalition meeting this Thursday night, July 11th to help us stop LA County. We stopped the women’s jail plan in February and we will stop this proposed mental health jail AKA an asylum!

Are Americans Turning Against Science? 7:30p, National Center for the Preservation of Democracy, 111 N.

Scientists have shown that genetically modified foods pose no threat, but, according to one survey, half the country sees such foods as dangerous. And despite scientific assurances about vaccine safety, the number of very young children who don’t get vaccinated has quadrupled in the past two decades. Why are so many ignoring—or rejecting—broad scientific consensus on these and other questions?  htpps://www.zocalopublicsquare.org/event/are- americans-turning-against-science/

Climate Refugees, directed by Justin Hogan,and Michael Nash, 7p, Skid Row History Museum and Archive, 250 S. Broadway, LA 90012. Climate Refugees explores in-depth the global human impact of climate change and its serious destabilizing effect on international politics. The film turns the distant concept of global warming into a concrete human problem with enormous worldwide consequences. Little is being done to plan for the potential mass migration of millions of refugees who will be forced to cross national borders. According to the UN, there are already more environmental refugees in the world than political or religious refugees. The film features a variety of leading scientists, relief workers, security consultants, and major political figures, including John Kerry and Newt Gingrich. Climate Refugees was filmed in Bangladesh, Tuvalu, China, Fiji, Chad, Sudan, Kenya, Maldives, Europe and the US.

Is Journalism About Social Justice? 7:30p, National Center for the Preservation of Democracy, 111 N. Central Ave., LA 90012.  In a 19th-century story, a fictional press-hating Irish bartender mocks the pomposity of the press by remarking that a newspaper’s job is to “comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.” That phrase, despite its satirical origins, has since become a sincere media mantra. American journalists routinely justify exploitation and error by portraying themselves as people who right wrongs, and journalism schools teach, and media foundations support, “social justice journalism.” httpss://www.zocalopublicsquare.org/event/is-journalism-about-social-justice/
