I can’t believe Metro LA made this and that it’s not satire 😂

“We need to protect our renters from displacement and homelessness. We are a district of 80% renters, and we know secure, affordable and reliable housing is essential for children, 0 to 5.” - John Yi @johnforassembly, candidate for AD 54

Don’t be fooled by corporate-backed ads! Minimum wage, marriage rights & criminal justice in CA are at stake. We got your back with our 2024 Prop Voter Guide, breaking down the props that matter most. We’re standing up for #WorkingFamilies, not billionaires & big corporations.

If affordable housing is banned in 72% of residential areas in the City, how can we effectively address homelessness or housing affordability? Most affordable housing is being built in working-class neighborhoods of color because of zoning restrictions: e.g. single-family zones.

Landlord harassment is a health crisis as much as it is a housing crisis—so let’s tackle this epidemic head on! On Tuesday, Sep 24, we’ll give public comment and demand the LA City Council approve amendments that strengthen the Tenant Anti-Harassment Ordinance, or TAHO, to ensure tenants who are harassed can receive damages for mental health and suffering. A toolkit for written public comment is also available here—just make sure your submissions are in by 2pm on Monday, Sep 23: tinyurl.com/yh42muah

HOW TO BUDGET BADLY 📝 The City of LA spent $247M on Liability Payouts in FY2024 but budgeted ONLY $87M for FY2025. One month into FY2025 (July 2024) & we've already spent $39.5M or 45%. TOP LIABILITY PAYOUTS (JULY 2024): 🚔LAPD: $22.8M 🤕 Misc: $11.9M 🚌 Transportation: $2.4M

In 2022, we put our stake in the ground in California. 8 Working Families Party endorsed candidates won their races in the state legislature. That was just the beginning. It’s time to #GrowTheParty. We endorsed 11 new WFP champions running for the state leg. Check them out!

When Yong Yang was in a mental health crisis last month, his parents did what some aren't aware is an option. They called for help from county clinicians instead of 911. Still, Yang ended up fatally shot by LAPD in his parents' living room. @LAist 🧵 laist.com/news/la-family-cou…

Bad enough that they are honoring an assembly candidate, but @BobBlumenfield just politicized the hell out of this event, "you're going to be amazing in Sacramento, knock on wood." Following the Council President's example of misusing city resources for electoral politics...

🚨CALL TO ACTION📢 Scandals and corruption kicked off the latest wave of City Hall reform efforts. There’s a big vote on Tuesday to amend the Charter (the City’s constitution). Proposals by the CAO & City Attorney UNDERMINE the Controller’s Office. 🧵 lacity.primegov.com/Portal/M…

We have the MANDATE of 513,000+ VOTES & the City Charter to bring transparency & accountability. 🔎 HOWEVER, City Hall obstructs us at every turn: - Mayor cut our budget - City Attorney refuses to defend our Charter Authority - CAO also wants to be the CFO & Performance Auditor

We’re here all together saying “wake up @MayorOfLA.” Rent is too high, wages are too low, and the City responds by hiring more cops to do sweeps and put people in jail or hotel rooms that might as well be jail.

I am BEGGING you all to watch this. One of the most incredible things I’ve ever seen and the only way it gets a season 2 is if people tune in on Netflix. HBO already cancelled it once, but it’s getting a new life on Netflix. I promise you won’t regret watching it.
