Today LA City Council is voting, again, to criminalize homelessness. You may remember this from a few weeks ago, a few years ago, or if you moved here to avoid the Dust Bowl.
It's because they've done the same thing since the Great Depression. And it's never worked. (thread)

Because a single mom on the average housekeeper salary must work *17 hours a day* to afford housing.

Yesterday, the Public Safety Committee approved a $54 million contract for 236 police officers to patrol the Metro for just 6 months.
That's over $225k per officer, for only half a year. Let's talk about what that means.
Think about how we could use that money to improve our Metro system.
We could have:
✅Fare-free Metro
✅More frequent service
✅Clean trains and busses
✅Unarmed professionals to help folks dealing with homelessness or mental health issues.
As a city, we need to do better.

What an incredibly offensive description of renters from the landlord lobby.

This story is, of course, complete garbage. I was alerted to the tapes in this tweet at the same time as the LAT:
Political operatives supporting Mitch have been calling reporters for days to push this because they want to delegitimize the recordings.

Last night, LA Fed delegates voted to NOT endorse Mitch O’Farrell. I’ve spent years in the House of Labor, and our democratic process never ceases to inspire me.
Thank you to every union leader, even the ones on the other side of this issue, for always engaging in good faith.

Last night proved that the movement we built is well on its way to winning power for working people in CD13, and if voting trends continue, we feel confident that the final tally will have us in first place.
This is unheard of against an incumbent, and it's because of your work.

As our first day on City Council comes to a close, I'm reflecting on the movement that brought us here.
It's not just about me getting sworn in — it's about the housekeepers, the young people, the immigrants, the renters, and everyone coming with us to City Hall.
¡Sí se pudo!

Traffic violence is the
#1
killer of children in LA, and it's only getting worse.
We desperately need:
✅Better + more crosswalks
✅Slower car speeds in residential neighborhoods
✅Safety improvements near schools
✅Bike lanes + better transit to give folks options to get around
Last year in Los Angeles, more people were killed by someone driving a car than by someone wielding a gun. The second-largest U.S. city has become the traffic violence capital of the nation.

We’re coming in bold, but our movement will never force policies on residents, that’s how things got done under the cruel and corrupt status quo.
We won because we represent the majority of Angelenos, who want effective and compassionate solutions we can collaborate on together.
NEW: Mayor-elect Karen Bass will have to work with a new progressive cohort on the City Council that ran on pushing LA to the left.
"I think we're going to come in very bold, very aggressive because we're coming in with that mandate," Councilmember-elect Hugo Soto-Martinez said.

Shame on
@DonutFriend

Thank you to everyone who made this victory possible. There’s more to say and a long list of incredible people to thank— but for now, you can read our full statement here:
WE DID IT!
We ran this campaign to build community power for workers, immigrants, the unhoused, people of color, young people, renters, and all of us who have been neglected by our city officials.
Now, we’re bringing this movement into City Hall.
¡Sí se pudo!

BIG NEWS! Thanks to YOU we're OUTRAISING MITCH!
77% of our donations are <$100, vs 1% of his! And unlike his campaign we didn't take a dime from big real estate, police, fossil fuel interests, or anyone who wants to profit off LA!
Keep up the momentum!

Thank you
@latimes
for pointing out that just 23% of bus stops in the City of LA have shelters.
That’s why we passed a motion directing StreetsLA to report on a list of all bus stops in CD13 without shelter, and a plan to install shelters at all of them.

Even though LA has one of the highest minimum wages in the country, it would still take 3 full-time min. wage jobs to afford a 2-bedroom apartment in our City.
If we want to fix this, we need higher paying jobs, more housing, and cheaper rents.

. Her strength, warmth, and love makes our city a better and brighter place every single day.
It's been amazing to work with you these past few months, and I'm so excited to keep it up for many years to come.

Resignations of the councilmembers involved in the leaked audio are a crucial first step, but Los Angeles must vote out Mitch O’Farrell and all councilmembers who put personal gains and petty grievances over the communities they are supposed to represent.
