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.

🚨ICE UPDATES 6.30🚨

ICE showed up at a *confidential* Domestic V*olence Shelter. First schools, then workplaces, then churches, and now going after survivors of abuse – nothing is off limits to the Trump administration. We need to keep showing up to keep families together.

Children’s Hospital LA is shutting down its Trans Youth Clinic this July, putting lives at risk. We can’t abandon our most vulnerable communities when they need us most. We need to come together, mobilize, and make sure every child continues to receive the care they need.

More Marines won’t help anything in Los Angeles, we don’t even know where they are. What we need is for this administration to stop terrorizing working families and get ICE out of LA.

Deploying ICE and the National Guard isn’t about safety — it’s about distracting from the families that he’s ripping apart. As communities across Los Angeles organize and mobilize, he’s responding with escalation, intimidation, and spectacle. (1/2)

🚨🚨DO NOT SIGN🚨🚨 Instead of paying their workers a living wage, corporations are spending MILLIONS on a misleading petition to repeal LA’s Living Wage Ordinance. Don’t be fooled! Don’t sign the misleading petition! #DefendTheWage #DefendTheWageLA

Unarmed Crisis Response gives us a chance to move beyond the failed status quo in public safety. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach that sends armed officers to veterans with mental illness, we can intervene & build empathy while better serving our most vulnerable residents.

BREAKING: LA just passed a law providing lawyers to renters facing eviction. In criminal court, everyone has the right to a lawyer. But in eviction court? Renters are on their own. (Thread)

Fast food corporations like Subway directly benefit from widespread wage theft and abuse of workers like Eva. That’s why we introduced a Fast Food Fair Work Motion in LA to provide: ✅ Predictable scheduling ✅ Guaranteed Time Off ✅ “Know Your Rights Trainings” (1/2)

For months, families on Mohawk St had to fight unfair evictions to stay off the streets. These families– many of whom had lived there for decades– were being forced from their homes under the guise of “substantial renovations,” when any necessary repairs could be completed without forcing them out.

Thank you Children’s Hospital LA and Attorney General Rob Bonta for coming together to make sure that ALL children in our communities can access the critical healthcare they deserve.

What kind of monster do you have to be to cut off legal services to children? We introduced a package of legislation at City Council to protect immigrant Angelenos, including a motion for stopgap funding to provide these critical legal services to families. Visit bit.ly/migrantnews to read more.

I usually HATE my birthday - but this year, it falls on the first night of the Homeless Count! All I’m asking for my birthday is for YOU to join me in participating in the count next week. Sign up today at TheyCountWillYou.org.

Trump wants to divide us and instill fear in our communities until we give in to his dangerous agenda. But that’s not going to happen — we’re going to fight.

This week, Children’s Hospital LA stopped providing health care to new trans youth patients in response to Trump’s executive orders. Read my statement about this decision:

"Los Angeles will not be complicit in Trump’s dehumanizing agenda — we will fight back and protect our community.” - @hugoforcd13.bsky.social The proposal includes a know your rights campaign, funding for legal assistance, and reporting on ICE activity. 👏👏👏 laist.com/news/politic...

We all know someone who will be personally affected by Trump’s dehumanizing policies. That’s why today we introduced a package of legislation to protect immigrant communities in Los Angeles, which will include:

Hoy en el Concejo Municipal presentamos legislación para proteger a los Angelenos inmigrantes

TOMORROW, City Council will vote on a moratorium on evictions for renters impacted by the fires, and a pause on rent hikes for one year. Here are 5 reasons why we can't wait any longer to take action (thread)

Council is set to vote WEDNESDAY on whether to pause rent increases for one year and institute a moratorium on evictions for people affected by the fires. (1/2)

Our motion to pause rent hikes for one year and institute a moratorium on evictions for renters impacted by the fires is scheduled for a vote at City Council on WEDNESDAY. We can't wait any longer to take action to protect our most vulnerable families in LA.

Rents were out of control BEFORE! Now corporate landlords are using this tragedy to squeeze even more money out of working families. We need a freeze on rent hikes & evictions to limit the secondary devastation from the fires and allow Angelenos to stay in LA. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Cecile Richards was a fierce organizer and a trailblazer in the fight for reproductive rights. Her immeasurable work transformed lives and inspired generations. Rest in power.

On a day meant to honor Dr. King, it’s impossible to avoid the conflicting emotions from Trump’s inauguration & the devastation from the fires. There may be dark days ahead, but we can learn from Dr. King’s legacy by leading with love, fighting for justice, & building power for a better future.

It’s a sad reality that people will try to take advantage of these horrific fires to jack up rents and evict tenants. We introduced legislation with Councilmember Hernandez yesterday to pause rent hikes for one year & institute a moratorium on evictions for renters impacted by the fires. (thread)
