GOTV! South Central has some of the lowest voter turnouts in the city and we need everyone to show up and show out. As a matter of fact, if we hit 25% voter turnout during this primary, I’ll shave my head. And I challenge my fellow electeds to do the same! Let’s go @isaacgbryan.bsky.social!

Today we moved the needle and moved the battle across the street to end pretextual traffic stops in the City of Los Angeles.

Today is not about one person. It is about uplifting a labor movement while honoring the contributions and sacrifices of the people who ensure our world gets fed. I also highlight the women of the movement whose work was invisible for far too long. So, thank you and happy #FarmworkersDay! 🌾✊🏿

True justice demands that we refuse to be complicit in supporting systems that perpetuate sexual violence. This is where the work must be clearest, loudest, and most unwavering. (2/2)

Believe survivors. Believe women. I stand with Dolores Huerta, Ana Murguia, Debra Rojas, and everyone who has courageously shared their stories. Honoring survivors means we must demand accountability from abusive men in power and build communities that are just in both mission, and practice. (1/2)

We've got to lift up the stories when neighbors stand with each other, for each other, and go out of their way to make sure that we all live the quality of life that we deserve.

Too young to vote when he ran in the CA Dem Presidential Primary, I walked precincts instead. When Rev. visited LA, my mom got me backstage at a CTA rally to meet Rev. Jesse Jackson in person. In five minutes, that exchange rewired my life. (1/3)

Yesterday, thousands of LAUSD students held a walkout at City Hall to protest the federal government's immigration raids. Their message was clear—ICE out of our schools, ICE out of our city, ICE out of everywhere. (1/2)

In a time when the federal government is actively removing Black monuments and inflicting state-sponsored terror on everyone in our community, we must remember to resist, not give an inch, and fight back. (1/2)

Los Angeles was built by Native communities and Mexican Pobladores, by Asian and Black families seeking freedom, by immigrants from every corner of the world who arrived with little more than faith and left an indelible mark.

Dr. King's legacy is one of peace, and while today was filled with much unity and love, we need to keep doing everything we can to strengthen our ties and promote public safety. My prayers go out to the man who was injured today.

ICE has escalated its raids across the city and has recently targeted Santee Alley, Westlake, and Figueroa. They’ve even been sighted in my district by Bret Harte Preparatory Middle School. We won't stand for this. We need ICE out of LA now.
