DEAR BIG TOBACCO, WE ARE DYING.
But you already know that.
Smoking kills more African Americans than AIDS, drug and alcohol abuse, car crashes, and murder combined. And 70% of us who smoke use menthol cigarettes.
That’s no coincidence.
You’ve spent decades pushing menthols into Black communities with cheap prices and slick advertising.
And the worst part is, you think you can keep getting away with it.
You come after our brothers, sisters, parents, and friends.
Now, we’re coming after you.
We want you out of Black neighborhoods, because our lives are worth more than your bottom line. We are people, not profi t.

Measure FD provides additional firefighters / paramedics and other resource for local 911 fire and emergency medical response and rescue.
Outdated Communications Systems LA County Fire’s communication systems, including emergency response, lifesaving protection and rescue equipment, date back nearly three decades and are incompatible with wireless networks and other modern digital systems.
Outdated Rescue Equipment Some fire engines and medical emergency and rescue vehicles are more than 20 years old and costly to repair and maintain. HBCU {continued from Pg. A-1} More Fast Moving, Extreme Wildfires Longer fire seasons and increased 911 calls are increasing demand on a limited number of firefighters and paramedics.
Measure FD Will Assist Your Local Fire Department: LA County Fire Measure FD is a 6 cent/square foot tax on parcel improvements, as assessed by the county, excluding parking and garages, to fund local fire protection and emergency medical response for LA County Fire.
Measure FD Funds Would Be Used to: • Increase the number of paramedics available to respond to medical emergencies • Increase the number of firefighters available to respond to house fires and wildfires • Replace 30-year-old communications equipment • Replace aging firefighter safety gear, like breathing devices, jackets and helmets • Provide specialized vehicles, aircraft and equipment for fighting wildfires • Provide and upgrade lifesaving rescue equipment, including thermal imaging cameras
Measure FD will appear on the March 2020 ballot.

On Sunday, February 2, South LACafé hosted a “Day of Tribute: Kobe, Coffee, and Conversation” in honor of the great Kobe Bryant. It was a free community event where people could write letters to Kobe, bring something to the altar, and create art projects. A great way to celebrate the life of a king and be around others who were inspired by him. South LA Café owners, Joe and Celia Ward-Wallace, held the event on a Sunday, a day where the café is closed.
