Corporations think their endless resources can buy endless power and it’s despicable.
Working people deserve livable wages and massive corporations like Delta, United and Hilton who profit off their backs can afford to pay them.

Permanent housing placements in LA are at record levels.
Still, thousands of people are living on the streets because we don’t have enough housing.
Every one of the 64 units in the new Alvarado & Temple Apartments means a person or family is off the street & finally has a shot at stability.

ICE showed up at a *confidential* Domestic V*olence Shelter.
First schools, then workplaces, then churches, and now going after survivors of abuse – nothing is off limits to the Trump administration. We need to keep showing up to keep families together.

Children’s Hospital LA is shutting down its Trans Youth Clinic this July, putting lives at risk.
We can’t abandon our most vulnerable communities when they need us most. We need to come together, mobilize, and make sure every child continues to receive the care they need.

Unarmed Crisis Response gives us a chance to move beyond the failed status quo in public safety.
Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach that sends armed officers to veterans with mental illness, we can intervene & build empathy while better serving our most vulnerable residents.

For months, families on Mohawk St had to fight unfair evictions to stay off the streets.
These families– many of whom had lived there for decades– were being forced from their homes under the guise of “substantial renovations,” when any necessary repairs could be completed without forcing them out.
