LocalEnforcementNow movement

City of LA Passes Historical Civil Rights Ordinance

According to LABWC, the unemployment rate for Black workers in Los Angeles is 16 percent – three times the national average. In California, African Americans comprise only six percent of the population, yet nearly 70 percent of the state’s workforce discrimination claims are based on race and disability. This disparity and disproportionate unemployment is what triggered the #LocalEnforcementNow movement to begin.
