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.

Los Angeles doesn’t wait for the future to arrive—we build it.

I’m excited to watch our Convention Center get modernized, our businesses thrive, and Downtown LA, the beating heart of our local economy, get revitalized.

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.

Let’s keep working together to keep each other safe.

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.

We understand the fight; we intend to stay in the fight, and we will not relent one single inch of our sovereignty, our dignity, and, most of all, our rights as human beings and citizens of this country.

President Jimmy Carter’s legacy embodies the honor of public service. His advocacy for affordable housing includes homes built in our District. His work continues to inspire, reminding us of the profound impact one individual can have on the lives of many.
