Rivers are living beings.

ICE’s terror campaign is destroying our communities:

“The November operation, Carrillo said, sent many immigrants into hiding, regardless of their status. Children stayed home from school. Parents skipped work. Families struggled to keep up with necessities, like groceries.”

Between the decline in employment in February and the downward revision to December, job growth has now effectively slowed to zero. #numbersday

This is why our profession churns out such tortured quotes like it is going out of business! We think we’re talking to judges all the time.

"You can see how the sports events coming up are definitely a risk" There is growing concern around the absence of a cohesive human trafficking prevention strategy for LA's megaevent era

There's no plan to prevent human trafficking during LA's megaevents and the World Cup starts in 100 days.
