91% rate of labor violations. 150% annual turnover. 16% avg income lost to wage theft
Fast food is one of the most toxic industries in our economy, with corporate giants making record profits off the backs of working people
Today marked a big step toward changing that in LA 🧵
Thank you to the fast food workers who came to City Hall, shared their experiences, and advocated for these long-overdue protections.
If we want an economy that works for working people, we have to make sure workers are treated fairly on the job.
I took the time to complete @ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey to share my vision and goals.

City Council doesn’t currently have the power to set LAPD policy. That could soon change thanks to a decision last night.🧵
This is a MASSIVE shift from where the process started.
The Charter Commission originally wasn’t going to consider ANY police reforms. But community groups made sure Angelenos’ voices were listened to so we can build a safer city.
Now the real fight begins.
The proposal still needs City Council approval before voters get to decide.
Generation after generation of Councilmembers have passed the buck on the most important policy decisions facing our city.
Follow @LosAngelesFwd to make sure that ends.
We live in a city where more people die from traffic violence than homicides, but City Hall and our political institutions don’t act like it.
Everyone deserves to get where they’re going safely, no matter how they travel.

Trump promised to end foreign wars. Now, he’s launching them — invading Venezuela, kidnapping a foreign president and his wife, and destabilizing an entire region for oil.
The Untied States has tried overthrowing governments it doesn’t like before & it never ends well.

In solidarity with our allies in NYC who are fighting back against Airbnb. When we have a housing crisis in our county, we need to protect tenant and stop Airbnb’s greed.
This position DOES NOT speak for the full City Council.
The LAPD should NEVER be permitted to use force against journalists or anyone peacefully exercising their first amendment rights.
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.

Now, the corporate landlord lobby is funneling energy to protect profits at the expense of working people.
Groups like @caanet claim to champion small landlords, but they'll never mention that LA *already* allows landlords to apply for exemptions if they can’t afford the cap.
This is the closest we've been in 40 years to updating this system, and we need to see it through.
Visit @KeepLAHoused and keeplahoused.org for info/updates and come to the Housing Committee TOMORROW to make your voice heard.
