    BREAKING NEWS: CALIFORNIA STATE SENATOR HOLLY MITCHELL ENDORSES BALLOT MEASURE AIMED AT L.A. COUNTY JAILS Senate Budget Chair Holly Mitchell endorses Reform L.A. Jails for the March 2020 ballot Los Angeles, CA - August 27, 2019 - Just two weeks after their historic victory against L.A. County with the cancellation of a $1.7 billion design and build contract with McCarthy Builders to replace the Men’s Central Jail in Downtown Los Angeles, Reform L.A. Jails has announced the endorsement of California State Senator and Senate Budget Committee Chair Holly Mitchell for their March 2020 ballot measure. The ballot measure will give the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Civilian Oversight Commission subpoena power to help fight deputy misconduct and corruption as well as force the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors to first produce a study that looks at reducing the jail populations and redirecting the cost savings to alternatives to incarceration to reduce recidivism, prevent crime, and permanently lessen the population of people cycling into and out of jail that are experiencing mental health, drug dependency, or chronic homelessness issues before spending over $3.5 billion on building new jails. "We know that jails alone are not the answer,” said Senator Mitchell who represents a large swath of L.A. County including Culver City, Ladera Heights, and a large part of South L.A. "If we are serious about rehabilitation, prevention and improving our communities, then we must invest in local organizations and evidenced based practices that are effective.

    Resolution in support of Adult Education Whereas, the LAUSD Superintendent, John Deasy, and the LAUSD school board are proposing the elimination of adult education in Los Angeles; Whereas, Adult Education is essential to the communities it serves; Whereas, Adult Education teaches basic skills and job training that are essential to working class communities; Whereas, Adult Education is teaching parents to help their children succeed in school; Whereas, the elimination of Adult Education will decrease opportunities for communities that need these educational services the most; Whereas, the elimination of Adult Education will make the recession worse especially in this economic climate; Now, therefore, be it resolved that the South Robertson Neighborhoods Council officially takes a position of support for Adult Education.

A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN FAMILIES PORTRAYED IN BLACK FAMILY TELEVISION COMEDIES BETWEEN 1980 AND 2000 Committee Chair: Charmayne Patterson, Ph.D. Dissertation dated May 2018 Research shows that black people watch more television than any other race of people, and, given that television is the most influential media tool, the content of what may affect an audience’s behavior and beliefs deserves analysis. This study examines the black family, alleged pathology, strengths that are specifically associated with them, its portrayal on television, and how television is used as a tool for socialization and influence. A content analysis of the top thirty black family shows that appeared on major network television between 1980 and 2000 was conducted to determine if the family framed was portrayed realistically. Each show analyzed was found to portray some characteristic of strong black families, attributes some media and social critics had not previously recognized or acknowledged. This study suggests that further research is warranted from black family, cultural, and media scholars, as well as social policy and i program makers, and on how television influences entire cultures to shift socially and economically. ii IS THIS BLACK ENOUGH FOR YOU?
