LA City Council just voted 8-6 to kill LAPD Reform — the last major remaining Charter Reform for the 2026 ballot. This comes after council also killed: ❌Council Expansion ❌Ranked Choice Voting ❌Strengthening Independent Oversight via the Controller’s Office. ❌City Attorney Reform (1/2)

Traffic violence kills more people every year in LA than homicides, so why don’t we act like it? We’re fighting to make it safer and easier to navigate the city no matter how you get around. Turn in your ballot by TOMORROW for safer streets, better mobility, and a city that works for everyone.

The condition of our city’s streets? WE HATE IT! So why do our streets look like this? For one, even though over 65% of Angelenos voted for safety and mobility improvements for our streets through Measure HLA, the city still hasn’t completed a SINGLE HLA project.

The same day SCOTUS gutted the Voting Rights Act, we introduced a motion to let voters decide whether LA should consider noncitizen voting in local elections. Here's why it's already sparking so much debate & why any change would likely take years to implement. (thread)

This is nothing but Big Tech PR to distract from how these corporations use our infrastructure without giving their fair share. They pay NOTHING to use our roads while displacing jobs, gutting our tax base & funneling profits to Silicon Valley billionaires. (1/4) www.latimes.com/business/sto...

🚓LAPD working with ICE 🎯Deploying teargas and foam bullets on peaceful protestors 🚫Pretextual traffic stops targeting Black & brown communities City Council doesn’t currently have the power to set LAPD policy, but that could soon change thanks to a decision last night from the Charter Commission.🧵

Street Lights face a $45 MILLION/year budget deficit because our street lighting fee hasn't been adjusted for inflation in over 30 years. That's totally unacceptable, and it's why we've invested the MOST discretionary funding of any district to get the lights back on.
