La Defensa
About Us
La Defensa is a 501(c)4 advocacy organization fiscally sponsored by Tides Advocacy. La Defensa 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.
