We're living in a country that has no interest in using our collective tax dollars to fund healthcare or education. We have normalized crowdfunding treatment for patients, PPE for healthcare workers, & supplies for teachers. Meanwhile, in LA City, the LAPD takes 54% of the entire discretionary spending budget. Tomorrow, June 1st, that number will increase by $120 million-while education, city repair, & public service hotlines continue to lose funding. LA's homicide rate is at its lowest since 1962.
