Show Notes
Tens of thousands of Angelenos agree on one thing: defund the police to fund mental health and housing. L.A. spends 25¢ of every dollar on policing, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Our guest is co-founder of Black Lives Matter-Los Angeles Dr. Melina Abdullah. The People’s Budget is an annual poll of 20,000+ Angelenos revealing how the people want to spend their money. Spoiler alert: it’s not on LAPD. We compare what we really want to what city hall gives us, why they are so different, and what we can do to fight back against a runaway police budget. Discover how everyone can have everything they need and most of what they want.
