This isn’t what a healthy community looks like. Here in LA, the latest census count showed an 11% increase in homeless people 65 and older.
Streamlining and expanding subsidized senior housing is a matter of human dignity.

It shouldn’t be controversial to say that everyone should be able to retire comfortably.

As a double bruin, I’m outraged. Students have a right to peacefully protest without fear of mace, projectile fireworks or physical violence. The attacks by counterprotestors are abhorrent. I stand with UCLA students who continue to demand a divestment from the horrors in Gaza.

Successful student activism is UCLA tradition. In 1986, the UC Regents divested billions from companies doing biz with South Africa’s apartheid gov over a year after UCLA protests began. It was the nation’s largest university divestment.

On Thursday, City Planning hosted a public hearing on proposed changes to laws regarding where/how affordable housing should be built. The majority of participants spoke in favor of opening up single family residence zones in wealthy neighborhoods for building affordable housing.
“Of course I support affordable housing… just not here, or here, or here, or certainly anywhere near me.”

My mom had epilepsy and couldn’t drive. She took the 81 to work every day.
I was a single teen mom on food stamps. There were days that 2 busses were the only way for me to get to class.
Public transit is more than a metro line. It’s a lifeline. And it should be free for all.🚊

Like so many millennials, I live with my dad. As a single working mom, it's all I can afford. If not for him, I would have had to leave the neighborhood that raised me long ago.
Seeing countless neighbors and peers forced out of CD14 is why I'm fighting for social housing in LA.
I'm excited to launch this new

Idk who needs to hear this but when someone is stealing detergent and toothpaste, it's probably a sign that our people can't afford life's basic necessities and we should focus on ending poverty instead of just punishing people for trying to survive.

Sleeping outside often isn’t a choice but a last resort.
Today’s SCOTUS decision is an attack on our constitutional rights that perpetuates the vicious cycle of poverty.
You can’t arrest people into housing that doesn’t exist.
Housing solves homelessness.
SCOTUS just made being homeless a crime.
The Supreme Court ruled that local governments can charge people for sleeping outside, even if they have nowhere else to go.

We’ve poured millions of tax dollars into the same old policies and what do we have to show for it? A housing crisis? Record evictions? Sky-high homelessness?

I’m not ashamed of living with my pops. Still, I would love to someday be able to buy a home of my own in Highland Park, my forever stomping grounds. But with the skyrocketing cost of living, it’s become impossible for working class people like me to even dream of home ownership.
Many adult children are either choosing or being forced to live with their parents, often after returning from college. While some young people might feel pressure to live independently, it’s not as achievable as it was in previous generations.

This is tragic.
CD-14 has the highest rate of eviction notices, the biggest unhoused population, and the most unhoused deaths in all of Los Angeles.

Do they know what it’s like to call hotlines and jump through bureaucratic hoops and wade through archaic, outdated mechanisms and contact your reps and hit every dead end, all while you’re on the brink of homelessness?
I navigated these systems for a living. They are BROKEN.
This woman begged our council saying she’s “desperate for help,” is locked out of her house, & is “about to be homeless.” Bob tells her this isn't the forum & to call one of their offices or 211. Bob hears that she’s outside Bass’ office & clearly crying, but he doesn’t care.

The Supreme Court is deciding a case with colossal implications for homelessness on the West Coast. We can’t arrest people into housing that doesn’t exist. We need a housing-first approach that helps folks instead of criminalizing them for exercising a biological necessity.

The rent is TOO DAMN HIGH! Almost half of renting Angelenos have worried about becoming homeless in the past few years. Renters need more protection to stay in their homes — that starts with stopping unlawful evictions, capping rent hikes, and cancelling covid rent debt.

Cash bail disproportionately harms low-income and BIPOC communities, creating a two-tiered justice system where wealth determines freedom.
It's racist, it's classist, and it's downright immoral.
LA County's new zero-bail policy is long overdue.

From day 1, our mission has been clear: to uplift and empower the voices of this community who have been marginalized, neglected, and silenced for far too long. That’s our North Star and that won’t change.
Thanks for highlighting our efforts,
@latimes
! Let’s do this, y’all.

This multigenerational group of women helped lead our organizing efforts in Boyle Heights. This was our first time seeing each other since we earned the top spot in the run-off. We did it, amigas! And we’re going to keep fighting to make sure our BH neighbors voices are heard.✊🏽

I’m not supposed to be here today.
A single teen mom on food stamps, a college dropout, a daughter of immigrants.
I was never supposed to graduate law school, let alone win a City Council primary.
These systems weren’t meant for people like us.
So we’re building new ones. ✊🏽

Organized workers have the power to change the world! USC’s actions are not only wrong but illegal. This international mass movement of workers and students cannot be broken. Solidarity with the workers and students standing up for justice! ✊🏽
UAW Local 872 has officially filed an Unfair Labor Practice charge with the National Labor Relations Board over USC’s unlawful arrests of five union members and other actions taken to suppress on-campus protests. 🧵

I JUST VOTED!
I voted at the Arroyo Seco Library, where I would cool off in the summer as a kid with my Lola and study for the bar as a young single mom.
What a full circle moment.
Polls close at 8pm, y’all. Get to a ballot box!

As the proud daughter of undocumented immigrants, I stand with Dreamers.
Immigrants are the backbone of this nation. This fight isn’t over. We will defend DACA and we will protect our immigrant brothers and sisters.
La lucha sigue. ✊🏽
BREAKING: A federal judge has declared illegal a revised version of the DACA program, which prevents the deportation of hundreds of thousands of immigrants brought to the U.S. as children.
