    Just for clarity... We ain't done protesting.

    We don't want to hug the police. We don't want to kneel with the police. We don't want to meet with the police. WE WANT TO DEFUND THE POLICE. #DefundThePolice #BlackLivesMatter

    More than 100,000 people flooded the streets of Hollywood in the name of #GeorgeFloyd and the 601 people killed by police in Los Angeles since 2013. THIS IS THE UNFOLDING OF THE REVOLUTION. We CAN have the world we imagine. Join us! Keep fighting!

    Two Black men were found hanging from trees in California in the last 2 weeks... Authorities are calling them suicides. What Black man do you know who hangs himself from a tree? These are lynchings. Not "modern day lynchings," old school ones. #RobertFuller #MalcolmHarsch

    HELLA wins today! 1. $150m cut to LAPD budget. 2. Unarmed non-police response to non-violent emergency calls. 3. Motion to bar police from traffic & transportation stops. 4. 35% cut to LAUSD police. We’re on our way! #DefundThePolicd #ReimaginePublicSafety #BlackLivesMatter

    Los Angeles County Sheriffs killed a Black man...Dijon...on 109th and Budlong and left his body facedown in the dirt. We need all hands on deck. Please get here ASAP!

    We send our love and prayers to Mr. Trebek’s family and friends. He was a strong supporter of #BlackLivesMatter who believed deeply in racial justice. He was one of the kindest souls. BLMLA feels blessed to have called him friend. May the good that he has done last forever.
    Jeopardy! is saddened to share that Alex Trebek passed away peacefully at home early this morning, surrounded by family and friends. Thank you, Alex.

    The Los Angeles Police Protective League is not a union; it's a gang. It buys off politicians, intimidates critics and covers up the crimes of its members. This band of bullies won't silence us. We will expose them and stand in our power. #ProtectPeopleNotPolice #PeoplesBudgetLA

    We need everyone to show up...virtually...to tell LAPD that it's about more than #GeorgeFloyd...It's about the 601 of our people killed by police right here in Los Angeles County in the last 7 years. #BlackLivesMatter

    If you are serious about change, you've got to fire Chief Moore. He has got to go.

    We won’t stop until the @MayorOfLA supports a #PeoplesBudgetLA that will #DefundThePolice. We’ll see you in the streets!

    Last month in LA.... -We were unarmed. -No takeover of the mayor’s mansion. -No attempted coup. -Just having “Black brunch” in front of @MayorOfLA’s house...with our kids and elders. What do you think would have happened if #BlackLivesMatter stormed the Capitol?

    This is LAPD showing “restraint”??? Police are a violent, brutal force. #BlackLivesMatter #DefundThePolice
