Official account for the 43rd Mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass.
Leveraging those relationships, alongside Councilmember Traci Park, I brought Palisades survivors directly to state leaders and regulators so they could speak firsthand about the barriers slowing their recovery.

As a former Speaker of the California State Assembly, I understand how change moves through the State Capitol and how to bring the right people to the table to get results.

We’re here to advocate for survivors and ensure state legislators and officials from the Department of Insurance hear directly from them about what they need — and deserve — to rebuild and return home.

Today, I’m at our State Capitol with a delegation of nearly a dozen Pacific Palisades residents and Councilmember Traci Park.
February 9, 2026 at 7:39 PM
Recovery should never feel harder than the disaster itself. Yet for too many Palisades residents, delays, underpayments, and denials from insurers, combined with ongoing mortgage payments, are making it impossible to rebuild.

Here in Los Angeles we know this truth to our core. We are city of immigrants. Seeing Highland Park’s Villa’s Tacos on the Super Bowl stage was a proud moment for our city.

¡Qué orgullo!

It was a powerful reminder that the contributions of immigrants and diverse communities are integral to our nation’s past, present, and future.

Bad Bunny, the first Spanish-language Latin solo artist to headline the Super Bowl, celebrated Puerto Rico on the world’s biggest stage with a tribute to Latin culture and Latin American diaspora.

Tonight’s halftime show reminded us what America truly looks like — unity, honor, pride, and cultures coming together to create something beautiful.

The Hansen Dam will soon be hosting viewing parties for Angelenos as one of the official Fan Zones for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

As the global spotlight turns towards Los Angeles, Shine LA will continue to bring Angelenos together across the city as we prepare to welcome the world.
February 8, 2026 at 5:03 PM
Special thank you to Hope the Mission and its fearless leader, Rowan Vanselve, for helping us put this event together and for his continued commitment to serving Angelenos every day.

It was my pleasure to honor Raven Tracey, Founder & Creative Director, Body by Raven, whose dedication to Hope the Mission’s Woodland shelter made sure that every child in the shelter could feel the magic of the holidays, and Shamrock Foods for donating the food to make today’s meals.

We had a beautiful morning at the Hansen Dam for Shine LA with Hope the Mission!

In addition to beautifying the park, the Family Fun Run 5k, and neighborhood block party, volunteers and celebrity guests came together to prepare 10,000 meals for the residents of Hope the Mission’s 33 shelters.

Through the continued collaboration between Inside Safe and Project Street Vet, I look forward to housing even more Angelenos and ensuring these beloved companions get the care they need.
February 7, 2026 at 10:09 PM
When unhoused Angelenos can stay united with their pets, they are more likely to come inside and stay housed.
February 7, 2026 at 10:09 PM
In every council district across Los Angeles, Inside Safe has proven to be an important component of our comprehensive strategy that has led to a two-year decrease in homelessness for the first time in City history – and this urgent work will continue.
February 7, 2026 at 9:56 PM
The Inside Safe team worked with the Council Office, City departments, and service providers to develop a comprehensive plan to address the encampment by voluntarily placing individuals into housing to enhance safety and cleanliness in the surrounding area.
February 7, 2026 at 9:56 PM
In South L.A., we held two community meetings with residents at the Western Industrial Complex to hear public safety concerns regarding the previous encampment at Gage Avenue and St. Andrews Place.
February 7, 2026 at 9:56 PM
Through close collaboration with Council District 1, Inside Safe successfully resolved the encampment, provided life-saving interim housing with services to each encampment resident, and restored street access to local businesses.
February 7, 2026 at 9:56 PM
In Lincoln Heights, residents and local business owners raised serious public safety concerns regarding a long-standing encampment on Pasadena Avenue and Avenue 24, that frequently diverted resources from the LAPD and the LAFD.
February 7, 2026 at 9:56 PM
In the last week, the Inside Safe Field Intervention Team housed nearly 70 Angelenos living in long-standing encampments, cleared 10 RVs, and removed more than 18 tons of debris through two coordinated operations in South Los Angeles and Lincoln Heights.

These racist attacks will never diminish the historic contributions and enduring legacies of President Barack Obama, this country’s first Black President, First Lady Michelle Obama, and the generations of trailblazing Black Americans whose shoulders we stand on.

It doesn’t get more blatantly racist than this.

As Americans struggle with the rising cost of living, this is where the President chooses to focus his energy. Republicans who are silent are complicit.
