Criminal Justice Reform

As a Black Woman, Dallas understands the necessity of protecting constitutional rights and is a top proponent for police accountability. She has organized to ensure that the City and the County of Los Angeles funded body cameras for the Sheriffs and LAPD. She will ensure the right public service agents answers mental health calls and other non-criminal responders. She supports ending qualified immunity. She will ensure coroners are accountable to us, The People, and not law enforcement. Dallas will work to end the unfair enhancements and mandatory minimums that are often slapped on youth without real rehabilitation. She will work to ensure that rehabilitation begins on Day One for the incarcerated and is currently working to provide an career training programs for our juveniles within the LA County Jails. Dallas will also advocate for more funding to ensure there are adequate mental health professionals serving this population. As a Delegate to the Los Angeles County Democratic Party, Dallas supported resolutions for both Measure R and Measure J to receive the party’s endorsement.
