About La Defensa

La Defensa, a 501(c)(4) project of Beyond Impact, is leading a movement to decarcerate the largest jail population in the United States–the LA County jail system–by reducing the power and scope of the judiciary, law enforcement, and the legal injustice system.

 

We do this by fighting for a fair & transparent pretrial process, state & local budgets that reflect our values, life-affirming alternatives to incarceration, and judicial accountability.

 

The donation you provide today will help us continue our work within Los Angeles County.

Please note that La Defensa is a fiscally sponsored 501(c)4 and therefore your contributions or gifts to this organization are not deductible as charitable contributions for Federal Income Tax Purposes. See below for additional disclaimer information. Thank you.
