Traffic violence killed more people than homicides in LA last year, and car crashes are the #1 cause of death for children in LA county. We're supporting Measure HLA because we can't afford to wait any longer to build a safer city.

Hi ⁦ @RadioChio ⁩! You say that Officer Traci is aligned with Bass on wanting more affordable housing projects. Did you ask why she’s trying to block a project in Mar Vista for people experiencing homelessness—during her first week in office?

LA escaped this level of national condemnation by passing a law that *pretends* to provide housing before throwing people in jail, and only *gradually* criminalizing the entire city, zone by zone. But LAMC 41.18 is no better, and our CMs should face national outrage.

Culver City, CA. Throwing unhoused people in jail instead of providing housing is cruel.

If sexual activity between same-gender people became illegal, the cops would be the ones enforcing that law. Pass it on.

LA painted some white squares in a donated parking lot and is paying $2,600/month for each person they allowed to live there in a tent. Meanwhile, there are enough vacant units in MV renting for less than $2,600 to HOUSE every unhoused resident in our neighborhood.

Officer Park says that "some departments will face cuts". What she means is that our roads will continue to be deadly, our sick and elderly will continue to suffer and education will continue to decline, so that LAPD Officers playing Pokémon Go all day can get a raise

Unhoused residents were coerced into moving into this hotel. They were told there would be a kitchen and food provided. All they got was a $50 gift card. One of our friends came right back to the camp to pick up their stove after they realized they'd been lied to

Shouldnt be lost on anyone that @MayorOfLA 's Inside Safe operation on the Culver Blvd median resulted in CD11, (a district that is 67% white) bussing long-time CD11 residents into CD1 (which up is 75% Hispanic) for being too poor for CD11

Who will the people of LA side with? A slimy corporate executive masquerading as a public servant, who makes more than 20 times than the people he's denying a new contract or some of the most vital and underpaid workers in our City? 🤔

If anyone else wants to take specific aim at Park for having Keenan Anderson’s blood on her hands, she’ll be at the Venice Neighborhood Council meeting tonight at 6pm. Traci lives in Venice less than 1/2 mile from where Keenan was murdered. Zoom:

Big shout out to @JTOWNACTION for their work on the ground these last couple days. If it wasn't for them we wouldn't know the damage of @kdeleon 's violent sweep. All we'd have is a fake press release from his office & the eventual LA Times article saying the park's "clean" now
