There are still a few more steps until this becomes law. Next, the City Attorney will draft the ordinance and city departments will develop the Know Your Rights training framework, before returning to Council for a final vote.

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.

With 150% annual turnover, companies are constantly cycling through new, low-wage workers who may not know what they’re legally entitled to. The less workers know, the easier it is for employers to violate those rights without consequences. That’s the cycle we need to break

Labor laws only work when workers know their rights. Right now, 88% of fast food workers don’t. Our motion directs City departments to report back on a framework for Know-Your-Rights trainings for fast food workers.

In a 10-2 vote, Council approved our Fast Food Fair Work Week motion. This means expanding LA’s existing protections for retail workers to also include fast food workers: ✅ 2 weeks advance notice of schedules ✅ Extra pay for last-minute changes ✅ Guaranteed between shifts

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 🧵

I took the time to complete @ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey to share my vision and goals. Go to hugo2026.com to learn more.

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.

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.

Our proposal is simple: Give City Council the ability to set LAPD policy through laws — just like we can for every other and issue in the city. Commissions conduct civilian oversight. Elected representatives write laws.

Right now, most people assume that City Council – the city’s policymakers – make LAPD policy. That’s not how it works. Under the City Charter (our local constitution), our largest city department is controlled by the Police Commission – an unelected body appointed by the Mayor.

🚓LAPD working with ICE 🎯Deploying teargas and foam bullets on peaceful protestors 🚫Pretextual traffic stops targeting Black & brown communities City Council doesn’t currently have the power to set LAPD policy. That could soon change thanks to a decision last night.🧵

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. latimes.com/california/story…

There is no legal basis for this and no plan to get out. The world is less safe because of this reckless and illegal act. I stand in solidarity with everyone who demands peace, and with the people of Venezuela as they experience this chaos and uncertainty. (2/2)

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. (1/2)

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.

We introduced a motion to LIMIT LAPD using projectiles at protests and to join most major cities like NYC and Boston in utilizing a “graded response” model during protests where heavily armed officers are kept in reserve and only used if the situation escalates to violence.

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.

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.
