This is news from your League committees. You are always welcome to join or just sit in. Committee membership is both rewarding and fun, and it does the good work for which the League is known. On March 11, 2020, the LWV-PA Board issued a policy to suspend face-to-face meetings during the COVID-19 outbreak. Many committees are now connecting via Zoom; check with committee chairs on current meeting status and to learn more about this easy way to join others in a face-to-face teleconference from the safety of home.

The HCC also welcomed a new member, Leni Fleming. She is a nurse, and we are thrilled to have her. Anyone who would like to join the committee is welcome.

Social Justice. The Committee has two active subcommittees, Housing and Policing Practices. Those who wish to work in these areas are encouraged to get in touch at socialjustice [at] lwv-pa.org.
Housing. The Subcommittee hosted November’s Thursday with the League, which focused on affordable housing from different perspectives (see the recap in this issue of the Voter). On Friday, December 4, we will meet at 9:30 a.m. to review our current local housing position. Contact Anita Mackey at anita [at] pixelriot.com or (203) 685-2315 to arrange for a Zoom invitation. —Anita Mackey, Chair (socialjustice [at] lwv-pa.org)
Policing Practices. The Subcommittee is in the midst of deciding how to alert city leadership in Monrovia and Pasadena, the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department stations that provide policing for Altadena and Duarte, and the communities of color in those jurisdictions about the League’s interest in the California Racial and Identity Profiling Act (RIPA) findings in these cities. We plan to do a simple survey to ascertain whether residents of color experience such profiling either during traffic stops and searches or during pedestrian stops. These experiences are often cited by Black and Latinx community residents as causing major problems with police. There is overwhelming evidence that Black motorists are up to twice as likely to be stopped and searched by police, yet a Stanford University study of 100 million traffic stops across the United States found that white motorists exceed Blacks in the amount of drugs, guns, and other contraband found during such stops. These stops and searches too often lead to tickets and fines for minor offenses, which grow to significant debt in low-income families. Many of these low-level infractions could be overlooked or given citations by police, as is beginning to happen with the LAPD, with no increase in crime as a result. These are the equity issues our Social Justice Subcommittee focuses on, and we are quite active—get in touch and join us! —Kris Ockershauser and Valerie Jones, Co-chairs (socialjustice [at] lwv-pa.org)
Units. Currently there are four units—small groups that meet once a month to get to know one another—in Monrovia, Altadena, South Pasadena, and Monterey Park. Note the Units are on hiatus in December. We continue to need a Units chair. Contact us at units [at] lwv-pa.org.
