Thank you Councilmember Padilla for honoring Salvadoran heritage today in your district, and thank you to the thousands of Salvadoran families who make LA so special. 🇸🇻 🇸🇻.

Still, thousands Salvadorans have overcome tremendous obstacles to come to this city over the years, thrive here, and make LA their own.

The reason the Salvadoran diaspora is so present in LA is because of America’s long history of meddling in the politics and sovereignty of El Salvador. (1/3)

Join us in front of City Hall (200 N Spring St) TOMORROW at 8:45am to make your voice heard and rally for these essential protections to keep our neighbors housed. To leave public comment online, visit

5️⃣ . Renters in LA were already in a precarious situation. Before the fires, 250,000 Angelenos were spending more than 90% of their income on rent. Now, we’re facing higher rents and massive economic losses.

4️⃣ . Existing emergency protections are extremely narrow. You can still be evicted if you lost your job, and evictions in evacuation areas weren’t even stopped because of the fires.

3️⃣ . Thousands of workers across LA lost their jobs since the fires and can’t afford February rent. We’re already seeing eviction notices in our district issued to workers who lost their jobs because of the fires.

2️⃣. Corporate landlords are already using this tragedy to squeeze money out of working families. Since the fires, rents in LA are up 20%.

1️⃣ . A 2019 MIT study found that eviction rates *nearly double* following severe natural disasters. If LA experiences a similar trend, that would mean 15,000 evictions per month, leaving thousands of families at risk of homelessness.

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 5⃣ reasons we can't wait any longer to take action (thread).

Have you gotten false evacuation emergency alerts?. These false alarms are scary and dangerous, but DO NOT disable the emergency alerts. Instead, VERIFY evacuation alerts by going to which will continue to have an updated evacuation map and warnings.
