About JusticeLA:
The JusticeLA Coalition (JLA) was born in the Fall of 2017 from the community based advocacy of countless families separated by the largest jail system in the world. In partnership with grassroots organizations, advocates, directly impacted communities, and stakeholders, JLA works to reduce the footprint of incarceration by stopping jail expansion and reclaiming, reimagining and reinvesting dollars away from incarceration and into community-based systems of care. Since the launch of the coalition, JLA has successfully stopped LA County’s $3.5 billion jail expansion plan, led the development of LA County’s Alternatives to Incarceration roadmap, and passed the historic Measure J ballot initiative.

JusticeLA prioritizes an intersectional approach to movement building that uplifts the communities most impacted by incarceration in Los Angeles County, including: immigrant and undocumented people; Black, Brown and indigenous peoples; people with mental health and substance use needs; young people, women, LGB and TGI people. Building on nearly a decade of advocacy, the coalition calls for a robust decarceration plan for Los Angeles that fully realizes the promise of diversion and re-entry through a justice reinvestment strategy.
