Activist Project Recruits ‘Non-People of Color’ To Push Radical Policies In California

An “activist project” aligned with Black Lives Matter is recruiting white people to advance radical criminal justice reforms in California, such as eliminating cash bail for most defendants, granting felons incarcerated in state penitentiaries the right to vote, and abolishing the prison system altogether. Those and other transformations were promoted by featured speakers at the Justice L.A. Town Hall last Thursday, organized to enlist “non-people of color” to oppose a jail expansion plan in Los Angeles County.
