Over 50 jail beds will be dropped in various locations on Christmas Eve as part of a coordinated campaign by JusticeLA and L.A. area artists. The beds are meant to remind Angelinos that on Christmas Eve, millions of people in America and thousands in L.A. County, will be spending Christmas in a jail cell unable to celebrate the holiday season with their families and loved ones simply because they are poor and cannot afford the high cost of bail.
Check back on Christmas Eve for exact locations. Follow @JusticeLANow and #JailBedDrop on social media for the latest. This Zine Library and taking a knee cut out where made from a jail bed, in order to bring more visibility to the millions of people in America that are in a jail cell and the ever growing giant of the prison industrial complex. Let's share resources, we can live in a world without police and prisons.
What would that look like? How would you feel? Let's plant those seeds and help them grow!
