Just voted, have you? Polls close at 8pm! 😗🗳️

Trash talk or trash pickup, we got you covered.

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.

Special interests are FLOODING you with political ads, and if you follow the money, you can find exactly WHO is trying to buy our elections.

We asked our incredible volunteers: Who hates to see you coming? Their answers *might* surprise you. 😉

Don’t let Republicans decide our future. Make a plan to vote by June 2 and sign up to volunteer this last weekend at bit.ly/cd13vol

I was happy to vote for Hugo again and I’m excited to see HLA implemented, finally!

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)

Today we're at LA City Hall with @hugoforcd13.bsky.social and Councilwoman Jurado, alongside CARECEN, IDEPSCA, and @chirla-org.bsky.social to celebrate #MayDay2026 - over 125 organizations strong! "It's time for change for everyone that keeps this city moving" - McDonald's worker Candida Masin

Come out to CD13’s ONLY in-person Candidate Forum, this Thursday 4/30, at 6pm! Enjoy free pizza and drinks — RSVP at bit.ly/cd13forum

Thank you for your leadership @hugoforcd13.bsky.social

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...

Congratulations to educators and school staff for securing tentative agreements that deliver major pay increases & investments in our schools. Good luck with ratification! www.latimes.com/california/l...

The secret to winning policies that help the working class? Elect working people to office.

I was arrested as a juvenile. That experience made me who I am today & it made me a better representative for all Angelenos. No one deserves to be judged on their worst moments. Thank you, Estuardo, for learning, growing, and sharing your story. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Major potential reforms coming out of the charter commission. For too long LAPD has had a blank check to operate without actual policy oversight, and city hall was all to happy to abdicate responsibility 👇🏼

🚓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.

Think the rent is too damn high? Join us at bit.ly/cd13vol and let's raise the wages and lower the rent!

We’re stand 100% with all of our education workers fighing for fair wages so they can care of our children.

I am thrilled to be the ONLY candidate in this race endorsed by the Democratic Party! If we're going to successfully fight back against the fascist, racist Trump regime — it's going to require unprecedented solidarity. Ready to join us? Sign up to volunteer at bit.ly/cd13vol

You know what changed my life? The day my mom became a union member. Because every worker deserves a good wage, health insurance, and to be able to spend time with their families.

Rick Caruso can attack us with outdated rhetoric, but people deserve the truth: this isn't an easy fix. This is a serious issue that warrants real solutions rooted in care.

People are dying everyday from traffic violence because for too long we’ve prioritized convenience at the cost of people being killed. (1/2)

Growing up, I built bikes with my friends. With all the chaos around us, this gave us an escape— and my first taste of independence. As a kid in LA in the 90s, gang violence was a far greater concern than traffic violence. Since then, homicides have dropped 77% — but traffic deaths have increased.

Shelves are overflowing at the Silver Lake Library! I just learned that there was a 4th (and 5th?) Hunger Games book... and I don't think the lovely library staff have seen a 43 year old man so excited about YA. Whatever your guilty or not-so-guilty pleasure, come check out the new library today!

🚨 CALL TO ACTION 🚨 Trump's Department of Housing & Urban Development is trying to kick vulnerable families out of public housing and force them into homelessness. But there's still time to stop it. Take 2 minutes and go to keep-families-together.org to take action and fight back.

We live in a city where more people die from traffic violence than homicides, but City Hall and our political institutions don’t act like it. Everyone deserves to get where they’re going safely, no matter how they travel, and we’re fighting to make that a reality. www.latimes.com/california/s...

When public defenders and workers need a champion, @hugoforcd13.bsky.social shows up! Every time. We’re proud to endorse Hugo Soto-Martinez in the June 2nd primary.

I went to ICE rapid response training today, organized by my wonderful city council member @hugoforcd13.bsky.social. I strongly recommend finding a group to join in your area. We keep us safe.

LA’s new rent-stabilization rent limits are about to take effect. Here’s what’s new: ➡️ Rent increases capped at 1-4% (vs. 3-10% previously) ➡️ Allowable rent hikes calculated using 90% of inflation (vs. 100% previously) ➡️ No more extra rent increases for utilities or having a child

Trump promised to end foreign wars. Now, he’s launching them — invading Venezuela, kidnapping a foreign president and his wife, and destabilizing an entire region for oil. The Untied States has tried overthrowing governments it doesn’t like before, and it never ends well.

LA Forward is proud to endorse Hugo Soto-Martínez for re-election to a second term! @hugoforcd13.bsky.social 🔗 Visit laforward.org/endorsements to learn more and support the campaign.

“Jackie Goldberg Sunset Junction” where Santa Monica meets Sunset is at the heart of Queer History in LA, near the site of the first organized LGBT+ protest in the US at The Black Cat. It’s also been home to countless gay rights groups, mutual aid organizations, & beloved small businesses. (🧵)

This position DOES NOT speak for the full City Council. The LAPD should NEVER be permitted to use force against journalists or anyone peacefully exercising their first amendment rights.

LA’s Housing & Homelessness Committee is meeting TOMORROW to consider capping rent increases at 3% for every rent-stabilized tenant in the city. This could determine the rent next year for you and and 1.1 million of your neighbors. (thread)

This is government censorship – pure and simple. When people in power can control what you say, there’s nothing they can’t do.

We’re proud to announce the endorsements of Nithya Raman, Eunisses Hernandez, and Ysabel Jurado.

This outcome sends a clear message to corporate interests in LA and across the country: working people can fight and win, no matter how much money or misinformation is used to stop us.

One bright spot in our unprecedented housing crisis: Measure ULA is a new MASSIVE funding source, now starting to allocate huge sums to make housing more affordable.

Happy World Dog Day to my son, Detroit. 🐾🥰

📣It shouldn’t take 9 months to fix a streetlight!! We’re investing $500k in discretionary funding to get the lights back on in time for shorter winter days, and we’ll keep fighting for a sustainable streetlighting investment so families aren’t left in the dark.

Our team brought the first day of school energy across the district! ✏️📚 Everyone deserves to feel safe and welcome coming into class. We stopped by to bring donuts and coffee to our incredible faculty and @utlanow.bsky.social teachers — a small thank you for keeping our children safe. 🍩

Corporations think their endless resources can buy endless power and it’s despicable. Working people deserve livable wages and massive corporations like Delta, United and Hilton who profit off their backs can afford to pay them.

‼️ICE in LA Update Even with multiple court orders in place to stop the raids, Trump is ignoring the law to terrorize our communities and tear families apart. If you see 🧊, call the LA Rapid Response Hotline at 1-888-624-4752.

Our hearts are with everyone impacted by last night’s horrific crash outside the Vermont nightclub in East Hollywood. We’re deeply grateful to the first responders and bystanders who rushed to the scene to save lives. Our office is monitoring the situation closely as the investigation continues.

Permanent housing placements in LA are at record levels. Still, thousands of people are living on the streets because we don’t have enough housing. Every one of the 64 units in the new Alvarado & Temple Apartments means a person or family is off the street & finally has a shot at stability.

Every day, about 1,000 patients count on @ppfa.org in LA health centers for care – including birth control, STD testing and treatment, and cancer screenings. Now, Trump’s “One Big Bill” will kick millions off Medicare and effectively defund Planned Parenthood.
