As Los Angeles prepares for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games, it’s essential that South Los Angeles communities have real access to the jobs, contracts and resources that these Games will bring.
As the year draws to a close, I want to thank you for your support and the trust you place in me to serve our mighty 28th District of Los Angeles. It is an honor to represent you, and I’m grateful for your voices and engagement that help make our district strong.
I’m proud to announce that the California Arts Council unanimously voted last week to officially designate Historic South LA as California’s first ever Black Cultural District! This designation acknowledges the deep historical, cultural and economic contributions that Black communities have made – and continue to make – in this region.
I am pleased to share the first installment of my new newsletter series focused on the top priorities for our district. Over the coming months, I will provide updates, background information, and opportunities for community engagement as we move major projects forward.
Please join us at our Free Food Giveaway TODAY – from noon to 2 pm at McCarty Christian Church in South LA!
