Reimagining Policing: Imaginémonos Cosas Chingonas with DA George Gascón

On this episode, Brenda and Ana Sheila put #Goya en la #basura and announce that we are taking a short break.  We talk about #policeaccountability with District Attorney George Gascón, who is running for District Attorney to modernize LA's criminal justice systems.  He is a Former District Attorney for the City & County of San Francisco, and former Assistant Chief of the Los Angeles Police Department. But don't let that fool you. LA’s cops are backing his opponent who has faced criticism for not holding cops accountable. Gascón is who the cops don't want to win... Gascón has earned a national reputation as a visionary in criminal justice reform. He’s been honored by the  Anti-Defamation League with their prestigious Civil Rights Award and the  Win With Justice, WNBA All-Star Maya Moore’s social action campaign, presented him with its Impact Award.
