Crenshaw Connected is a declaration that in Los Angeles, every resident deserves equal access to the tools of the 21st century. Today, we launched the first free WiFi program in the City on Crenshaw Boulevard.
This is more than infrastructure—it is digital justice.

There is nowhere you’re going that is more important than someone’s life.
Everyone must drive safely to make sure that no person or family in our community has to experience the tragedy of losing a loved one.

Today, we celebrate Mexican Independence Day during a challenging time in the U.S.
From our Madrina, @cd1losangeles, to President Claudia Sheinbaum, who became the first woman to lead Mexico’s 215th annual celebration, let this year’s El Grito remind us that when we fight back, we win.

Incidents like these are the actions of a few and do not define the people of South LA. Our community has worked hard to disrupt cycles of violence, and that work continues, alongside our intervention workers, law enforcement, and neighbors who are already comforting the families involved.

Today, the LA City Council voted unanimously on the Epithet Motion which restricts the use of inflammatory language in Council and Committee meetings. The use of inflammatory language is quite frankly disruptive, harmful, and deters others from participating.

We mourn the loss of Jewel Thais-Williams, a pioneering force in the Black LGBTQ+ community. In 1973, she opened Jewel’s Catch One, the first large-scale Black-owned LGBTQ nightclub in the United States. ‘The Catch’ became a cultural haven in Los Angeles for over 40 years.

What’s been touted as the Big Beautiful Bill will soon show its ugly face. Presented in the dead of night, passed without proper discussion, and hidden from public view—this bill will crater the national and LA economies. Hurting working families from housing, to medicaid, to SNAP, and education.
