BLM Leader Assures L.A. County D.A. Gascón: ‘We Have Your Back’

The leader of Black Lives Matter’s most prominent chapter has promised to support Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón amid a looming recall effort, assuring him that his policy changes so far align with the activist group’s vision for transforming America’s largest criminal justice jurisdiction.   

“We’re going to hold you accountable, but right now, you’re going hard, and we are standing with you,” Melina Abdullah, lead organizer of BLM-L.A, said Sunday. “We have your back.”
