1
00:00:12,044 --> 00:00:13,746
Buenas noches. Muchisimas.

2
00:00:13,746 --> 00:00:15,148
Gracias por estar aqui. El

3
00:00:15,148 --> 00:00:18,518
pueblo esta presente. El pueblo

4
00:00:18,518 --> 00:00:26,359
se ve y se siente. Today we're

5
00:00:26,359 --> 00:00:28,595
celebrating El grito 2025. And

6
00:00:28,595 --> 00:00:29,996
the theme is Viva la resistencia

7
00:00:29,996 --> 00:00:31,664
. We've had over 12 weeks of

8
00:00:31,664 --> 00:00:33,632
federal immigration raids on our

9
00:00:33,632 --> 00:00:34,601
city, and we wanted to show

10
00:00:34,601 --> 00:00:36,001
today, especially what it looks

11
00:00:36,001 --> 00:00:37,937
like to resist. And that is

12
00:00:37,937 --> 00:00:38,938
through joy, through culture,

13
00:00:38,938 --> 00:00:40,205
through food, through being in

14
00:00:40,205 --> 00:00:41,741
community and particularly I

15
00:00:41,741 --> 00:00:43,076
want to uplift again, joy.

16
00:00:43,076 --> 00:00:44,543
That's what's going to refill

17
00:00:44,543 --> 00:00:45,812
our batteries so that we can

18
00:00:45,812 --> 00:00:46,946
continue this fight to protect

19
00:00:46,946 --> 00:00:48,414
our communities here in Los

20
00:00:48,414 --> 00:00:50,517
Angeles. I think now more than

21
00:00:50,517 --> 00:00:52,284
ever, it is very important for

22
00:00:52,284 --> 00:00:54,787
us to come together and be

23
00:00:54,787 --> 00:00:57,824
united as a community. We have

24
00:00:57,824 --> 00:01:00,693
been through a lot this summer,

25
00:01:00,693 --> 00:01:03,329
this year, and I feel like the

26
00:01:03,329 --> 00:01:05,831
theme of Viva La Resistencia,

27
00:01:05,831 --> 00:01:08,167
which is, you know, long live

28
00:01:08,167 --> 00:01:10,336
the resistance. It has a new

29
00:01:10,336 --> 00:01:11,904
meaning now. So I think it's

30
00:01:11,904 --> 00:01:14,507
really important to come out and

31
00:01:14,507 --> 00:01:15,908
show your support. I'm really

32
00:01:15,908 --> 00:01:18,511
proud that in spite of the

33
00:01:18,511 --> 00:01:19,612
challenges that our community is

34
00:01:19,612 --> 00:01:22,115
enduring, that we are still

35
00:01:22,115 --> 00:01:23,649
coming together to stay true to

36
00:01:23,649 --> 00:01:25,851
our cultural traditions. This El

37
00:01:25,851 --> 00:01:27,320
Grito celebration, the

38
00:01:27,320 --> 00:01:28,821
celebration of Mexican

39
00:01:28,821 --> 00:01:30,256
independence, has taken place

40
00:01:30,256 --> 00:01:32,491
here in City Hall for 87 years.

41
00:01:32,491 --> 00:01:34,727
And we're not going to let

42
00:01:34,727 --> 00:01:36,129
anything stop the traditions

43
00:01:36,129 --> 00:01:37,697
from happening at a moment in

44
00:01:37,697 --> 00:01:39,098
time when our community needs to

45
00:01:39,098 --> 00:01:40,633
continue to come together and

46
00:01:40,633 --> 00:01:42,067
celebrate authentically. Who we

47
00:01:42,067 --> 00:01:44,137
are. I'm a Mexican-American, so

48
00:01:44,137 --> 00:01:46,372
I take a lot of pride in my

49
00:01:46,372 --> 00:01:48,808
culture, and I actually moved

50
00:01:48,808 --> 00:01:50,075
out to Los Angeles and I'm away

51
00:01:50,075 --> 00:01:52,045
from my family. So it just

52
00:01:52,045 --> 00:01:53,279
connects me more to my family.

53
00:01:53,279 --> 00:01:56,248
Um, and I spent a week in Mexico

54
00:01:56,248 --> 00:01:58,518
before and so this is really

55
00:01:58,518 --> 00:01:59,152
special to get to experience it

56
00:01:59,152 --> 00:02:10,063
now in Los Angeles. Mexicanos.

57
00:02:10,063 --> 00:02:12,732
Milagro Torres nos dieron Patria

58
00:02:12,732 --> 00:02:18,705
y libertad. Viva mirada. Algo

59
00:02:18,705 --> 00:02:25,077
viva enamorados! Viva Randomly!

60
00:02:25,077 --> 00:02:31,684
Viva pasado! Viva iraq-iran!

61
00:02:31,684 --> 00:02:34,153
Viva Viva Josefa Ortiz de

62
00:02:34,153 --> 00:02:38,124
Dominguez! Eva! Eva Vicente

63
00:02:38,124 --> 00:02:42,161
Guerrero! Viva! Viva Mexico!

64
00:02:42,161 --> 00:02:45,732
Viva viva Mexico! Viva viva

65
00:02:45,732 --> 00:02:53,272
Mexico! Viva. El himno Nacional!

66
00:02:53,272 --> 00:03:02,047
El position de verbs. In

67
00:03:02,047 --> 00:03:04,216
position. Costa. Here I think

68
00:03:04,216 --> 00:03:05,851
it's a really beautiful event.

69
00:03:05,851 --> 00:03:07,053
Especially to have in the time

70
00:03:07,053 --> 00:03:09,488
right now. I know that a lot of

71
00:03:09,488 --> 00:03:10,122
people were scared to come, but

72
00:03:10,122 --> 00:03:12,458
I wanted to show that, you know,

73
00:03:12,458 --> 00:03:13,959
I can be here and represent the

74
00:03:13,959 --> 00:03:16,195
people who may not have the

75
00:03:16,195 --> 00:03:16,895
ability to have come. And so,

76
00:03:16,895 --> 00:03:19,565
yeah, I'm really glad that I was

77
00:03:19,565 --> 00:03:21,000
able to show up and that they

78
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,468
had such beautiful music, such

79
00:03:22,468 --> 00:03:23,068
beautiful food and the people

80
00:03:23,068 --> 00:03:24,103
were really amazing to see

81
00:03:24,103 --> 00:03:26,039
everybody especially connected

82
00:03:26,039 --> 00:03:28,207
with the rope. That was a very

83
00:03:28,207 --> 00:03:30,376
beautiful element. And yeah,

84
00:03:30,376 --> 00:03:32,244
everybody was really friendly. I

85
00:03:32,244 --> 00:03:33,379
really liked that they put on

86
00:03:33,379 --> 00:03:37,683
this event for us. Viva méxico!

87
00:03:37,683 --> 00:04:00,106
México Viva

88
00:04:00,106 --> 00:04:00,272
! O

89
00:04:00,272 --> 00:04:03,643
Los Angeles is the home of the

90
00:04:03,643 --> 00:04:05,277
largest concentration of people

91
00:04:05,277 --> 00:04:08,848
of Mexican origin outside Mexico

92
00:04:08,848 --> 00:04:11,751
City. So it's no surprise that

93
00:04:11,751 --> 00:04:13,453
Negrito ceremony has been taking

94
00:04:13,453 --> 00:04:15,989
place here at the beautiful City

95
00:04:15,989 --> 00:04:19,759
Hall for decades. So it is very

96
00:04:19,759 --> 00:04:22,195
exciting, incredibly incredible

97
00:04:22,195 --> 00:04:23,729
privilege. I am honored to be

98
00:04:23,729 --> 00:04:26,099
the Consul General of Mexico in

99
00:04:26,099 --> 00:04:28,668
Los Angeles and to come and

100
00:04:28,668 --> 00:04:31,637
celebrate our independence, our

101
00:04:31,637 --> 00:04:34,741
pride in our identity, our

102
00:04:34,741 --> 00:04:38,411
culture. Well, this is a great

103
00:04:38,411 --> 00:04:40,179
celebration of the fabric of Los

104
00:04:40,179 --> 00:04:41,581
Angeles. The people of Los

105
00:04:41,581 --> 00:04:43,416
Angeles, El Grito, the

106
00:04:43,416 --> 00:04:44,883
significance is that we are all

107
00:04:44,883 --> 00:04:47,853
bound by our willingness and our

108
00:04:47,853 --> 00:04:50,256
demand for freedom and

109
00:04:50,256 --> 00:04:51,924
independence. And whether you're

110
00:04:51,924 --> 00:04:54,560
Mexican, American, African

111
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,096
American, Anglo American, Asian

112
00:04:57,096 --> 00:04:58,697
American, all of our peoples

113
00:04:58,697 --> 00:05:00,333
have had struggles against

114
00:05:00,333 --> 00:05:02,668
oppression and struggles to take

115
00:05:02,668 --> 00:05:05,871
away our freedoms and our people

116
00:05:05,871 --> 00:05:07,406
fight back against those, and we

117
00:05:07,406 --> 00:05:09,375
declare our independence.

118
00:05:09,375 --> 00:05:10,943
Mexican independence Day is a

119
00:05:10,943 --> 00:05:13,278
reminder that those of us who

120
00:05:13,278 --> 00:05:15,080
believe in justice, those of us

121
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,049
who believe in freedom, those of

122
00:05:17,049 --> 00:05:18,951
us who believe in equality, if

123
00:05:18,951 --> 00:05:20,987
we fight, even when it's

124
00:05:20,987 --> 00:05:22,421
darkest, like it's dark today,

125
00:05:22,421 --> 00:05:24,790
we will win and we will be

126
00:05:24,790 --> 00:05:28,861
victorious. Events like this

127
00:05:28,861 --> 00:05:30,295
just really underscore the

128
00:05:30,295 --> 00:05:32,698
opportunity to come together and

129
00:05:32,698 --> 00:05:34,167
the importance of coming

130
00:05:34,167 --> 00:05:35,667
together as a community. And

131
00:05:35,667 --> 00:05:37,069
while it may be affecting

132
00:05:37,069 --> 00:05:41,407
Mexicans today, tomorrow, it may

133
00:05:41,407 --> 00:05:42,508
be another ethnic group,

134
00:05:42,508 --> 00:05:43,476
tomorrow another group after

135
00:05:43,476 --> 00:05:45,044
that, and so we know we have to

136
00:05:45,044 --> 00:05:46,178
work together. Otherwise we're

137
00:05:46,178 --> 00:05:48,514
going to all fall. It's

138
00:05:48,514 --> 00:05:49,582
important that we talk about our

139
00:05:49,582 --> 00:05:52,151
freedom, talk about what we have

140
00:05:52,151 --> 00:05:53,719
in common. I'll talk about our

141
00:05:53,719 --> 00:05:55,487
ability to work together and so

142
00:05:55,487 --> 00:06:14,507
for me, retail represents that.

143
00:06:14,507 --> 00:06:15,908
I think that's wonderful because

144
00:06:15,908 --> 00:06:18,411
I really like those colors. I

145
00:06:18,411 --> 00:06:19,378
like the energy here. It's so

146
00:06:19,378 --> 00:06:21,814
positive and so like it. Even

147
00:06:21,814 --> 00:06:23,149
despite I'm from another

148
00:06:23,149 --> 00:06:24,417
country, I don't speak Spanish,

149
00:06:24,417 --> 00:06:27,119
but I feel so cozy, like at home

150
00:06:27,119 --> 00:06:28,421
. Like I think I've definitely

151
00:06:28,421 --> 00:06:29,888
was speaking Spanish in my

152
00:06:29,888 --> 00:06:32,124
previous lives because I feel so

153
00:06:32,124 --> 00:06:34,093
good. I feel like I'm belong

154
00:06:34,093 --> 00:06:36,095
here. So thank you for this.

155
00:06:36,095 --> 00:06:38,330
Like I don't know all the

156
00:06:38,330 --> 00:06:38,998
organizations and all the people

157
00:06:38,998 --> 00:06:41,267
who made this possible. I feel

158
00:06:41,267 --> 00:06:44,070
very nice to be here. I just was

159
00:06:44,070 --> 00:06:45,204
walking around, I heard some

160
00:06:45,204 --> 00:06:46,939
music. I thought, I have to

161
00:06:46,939 --> 00:06:49,141
check it. So here I am and I'm

162
00:06:49,141 --> 00:06:50,309
glad that it's happened like

163
00:06:50,309 --> 00:06:54,113
this. Happy Mexican Independence

164
00:06:54,113 --> 00:06:56,415
Day! I wish everybody peace,

165
00:06:56,415 --> 00:06:57,950
love and all the best things and

166
00:06:57,950 --> 00:07:10,362
positive vibes.

167
00:07:10,362 --> 00:07:12,197
You know today for the city of

168
00:07:12,197 --> 00:07:13,799
Los Angeles, I think it's so

169
00:07:13,799 --> 00:07:16,469
fitting that one of our toughest

170
00:07:16,469 --> 00:07:17,870
Mexican Americans on the

171
00:07:17,870 --> 00:07:19,404
council, Eunice Hernandez, is

172
00:07:19,404 --> 00:07:20,873
running El Grito this year, a

173
00:07:20,873 --> 00:07:23,175
year where there's so much fear,

174
00:07:23,175 --> 00:07:24,844
so much uncertainty. But today

175
00:07:24,844 --> 00:07:26,746
was supposed to be a day of

176
00:07:26,746 --> 00:07:28,047
celebration, a day of happiness.

177
00:07:28,047 --> 00:07:28,914
And we're making that happen.

178
00:07:28,914 --> 00:07:31,517
The diversity of our city is

179
00:07:31,517 --> 00:07:32,552
seen in the folks that are here,

180
00:07:32,552 --> 00:07:33,885
and I'm just happy to be a part

181
00:07:33,885 --> 00:07:36,822
of it, to be able to talk about

182
00:07:36,822 --> 00:07:39,025
the importance of the Mexican

183
00:07:39,025 --> 00:07:40,459
American community and its

184
00:07:40,459 --> 00:07:41,227
impact in Los Angeles

185
00:07:41,227 --> 00:07:44,130
internationally, locally, at all

186
00:07:44,130 --> 00:07:45,898
levels, Mexican Americans have

187
00:07:45,898 --> 00:07:47,266
always shown to be good

188
00:07:47,266 --> 00:07:50,369
Americans, and by continuing to

189
00:07:50,369 --> 00:07:51,671
celebrate our culture, that's

190
00:07:51,671 --> 00:07:54,941
our way of fighting. We should

191
00:07:54,941 --> 00:07:56,075
keep fighting for our rights

192
00:07:56,075 --> 00:07:59,245
because we believe we made a

193
00:07:59,245 --> 00:08:00,580
difference in Los Angeles. We're

194
00:08:00,580 --> 00:08:03,249
here to stay, and we're going to

195
00:08:03,249 --> 00:08:04,917
continue making and building and

196
00:08:04,917 --> 00:08:07,252
making Los Angeles beautiful. I

197
00:08:07,252 --> 00:08:11,590
know that El Grito is a Mexican

198
00:08:11,590 --> 00:08:14,559
independence Day, but I think we

199
00:08:14,559 --> 00:08:16,228
shouldn't just see it as only

200
00:08:16,228 --> 00:08:18,630
that, especially in the times

201
00:08:18,630 --> 00:08:19,765
that we're living in

202
00:08:19,765 --> 00:08:23,436
independence transcends any

203
00:08:23,436 --> 00:08:24,903
nation it's supposed to be

204
00:08:24,903 --> 00:08:27,373
something we can all recognize.

205
00:08:27,373 --> 00:08:30,242
We should be celebrating any

206
00:08:30,242 --> 00:08:32,177
independence from tyranny. And I

207
00:08:32,177 --> 00:08:33,779
think that's why so many people

208
00:08:33,779 --> 00:08:34,946
have come out to support,

209
00:08:34,946 --> 00:08:39,685
because we recognize that. I

210
00:08:39,685 --> 00:08:40,853
want to remind our community

211
00:08:40,853 --> 00:08:42,455
that there is strength in

212
00:08:42,455 --> 00:08:44,657
numbers, and there are so many

213
00:08:44,657 --> 00:08:46,458
of us here in Los Angeles and

214
00:08:46,458 --> 00:08:48,994
where government isn't able to

215
00:08:48,994 --> 00:08:51,030
intervene or support. We have

216
00:08:51,030 --> 00:08:52,565
wonderful partnerships with the

217
00:08:52,565 --> 00:08:55,101
consul generals from all the

218
00:08:55,101 --> 00:08:55,601
different Latin American

219
00:08:55,601 --> 00:08:57,603
countries, from our nonprofit

220
00:08:57,603 --> 00:08:59,005
organizations, from our labor

221
00:08:59,005 --> 00:09:00,473
unions. This is what they're

222
00:09:00,473 --> 00:09:01,907
trying to erase and stop us from

223
00:09:01,907 --> 00:09:03,309
doing. They're trying to prevent

224
00:09:03,309 --> 00:09:05,077
us from being authentically who

225
00:09:05,077 --> 00:09:08,047
we are and this event with

226
00:09:08,047 --> 00:09:09,448
everyone that's turned out, is a

227
00:09:09,448 --> 00:09:11,149
reflection that we are, in fact,

228
00:09:11,149 --> 00:09:15,254
here. And we will stay here

229
00:09:15,254 --> 00:09:16,922
right now. One of the most

230
00:09:16,922 --> 00:09:17,890
powerful things we could do to

231
00:09:17,890 --> 00:09:20,192
protect our families here in Los

232
00:09:20,192 --> 00:09:20,859
Angeles is to build community,

233
00:09:20,859 --> 00:09:23,095
is to know who your neighbor is,

234
00:09:23,095 --> 00:09:24,797
is to have their phone number

235
00:09:24,797 --> 00:09:26,031
and call and can call them in

236
00:09:26,031 --> 00:09:27,766
case of an emergency. Events

237
00:09:27,766 --> 00:09:28,834
like these are what help build

238
00:09:28,834 --> 00:09:29,535
relationships with communities

239
00:09:29,535 --> 00:09:30,836
so that we can survive these

240
00:09:30,836 --> 00:09:32,171
tough moments. And that's what

241
00:09:32,171 --> 00:09:33,472
helps the government do the

242
00:09:33,472 --> 00:09:34,306
right thing. That's what

243
00:09:34,306 --> 00:09:35,274
overcomes these moments is

244
00:09:35,274 --> 00:10:31,530
community power, people power.

245
00:10:31,530 --> 00:10:34,467
Hello everyone, I'm Natalia

246
00:10:34,467 --> 00:10:35,868
Bilbao, and here's what's

247
00:10:35,868 --> 00:10:38,403
happening in LA this week.

248
00:10:38,403 --> 00:10:39,972
Keeping the lights on. Boyle

249
00:10:39,972 --> 00:10:42,675
Heights has suffered with almost

250
00:10:42,675 --> 00:10:43,809
2000 street lights out across

251
00:10:43,809 --> 00:10:45,578
the community. Council member

252
00:10:45,578 --> 00:10:48,513
Isabel Herrera has identified $1

253
00:10:48,513 --> 00:10:50,082
million for a dedicated street

254
00:10:50,082 --> 00:10:51,684
crew to ensure that the street

255
00:10:51,684 --> 00:10:59,291
lights come back on and stay on

256
00:10:59,291 --> 00:11:00,726
. I live literally a block away

257
00:11:00,726 --> 00:11:02,528
. I could walk here and I run

258
00:11:02,528 --> 00:11:05,463
this route maybe four times to

259
00:11:05,463 --> 00:11:07,032
five times a week. I can tell

260
00:11:07,032 --> 00:11:09,434
you. I run it at night and it's

261
00:11:09,434 --> 00:11:10,736
very, very dark. I have my

262
00:11:10,736 --> 00:11:12,270
flashlight that I take with me,

263
00:11:12,270 --> 00:11:22,615
so I know it's not safe. I got

264
00:11:22,615 --> 00:11:28,887
it. When I came into office, we

265
00:11:28,887 --> 00:11:30,623
heard from Eagle Rock to

266
00:11:30,623 --> 00:11:31,757
Highland Park to Boyle Heights

267
00:11:31,757 --> 00:11:33,258
to downtown LA. People don't

268
00:11:33,258 --> 00:11:34,960
feel safe. And part of that is

269
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,230
because all the lights are out.

270
00:11:38,230 --> 00:11:41,500
In Boyle Heights alone, 1900

271
00:11:41,500 --> 00:11:43,002
street lights are out, and

272
00:11:43,002 --> 00:11:44,270
that's the highest number in the

273
00:11:44,270 --> 00:11:45,938
city. And so in October of this

274
00:11:45,938 --> 00:11:49,541
year, we allocated $1.07 million

275
00:11:49,541 --> 00:11:50,876
to make sure that we have a

276
00:11:50,876 --> 00:11:52,344
dedicated street crew to make

277
00:11:52,344 --> 00:11:53,712
sure that the lighting is going

278
00:11:53,712 --> 00:12:02,087
to stay on. We have scientific

279
00:12:02,087 --> 00:12:03,589
data that proves what community

280
00:12:03,589 --> 00:12:06,559
members feel intrinsically that

281
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:08,027
brighter lights, adequate

282
00:12:08,027 --> 00:12:09,628
lighting actually reduces crime.

283
00:12:09,628 --> 00:12:11,397
I haven't seen the lights on on

284
00:12:11,397 --> 00:12:13,832
this street. Maybe in about four

285
00:12:13,832 --> 00:12:18,804
years now. I feel like we've

286
00:12:18,804 --> 00:12:20,772
been making this known for years

287
00:12:20,772 --> 00:12:22,774
and nobody's listened. You know,

288
00:12:22,774 --> 00:12:27,112
we just get to shrug off

289
00:12:27,112 --> 00:12:28,680
communities like Boyle Heights

290
00:12:28,680 --> 00:12:30,249
deserve to have their lights on

291
00:12:30,249 --> 00:12:32,484
public safety starts with

292
00:12:32,484 --> 00:12:34,119
equitable city service delivery.

293
00:12:34,119 --> 00:12:37,156
We are a community that is often

294
00:12:37,156 --> 00:12:39,658
overlooked in favor of other

295
00:12:39,658 --> 00:12:44,562
districts in the area. Speak up.

296
00:12:44,562 --> 00:12:47,265
Being loud, we have to make our

297
00:12:47,265 --> 00:12:49,167
voices heard in order for

298
00:12:49,167 --> 00:12:50,769
government to move. In order for

299
00:12:50,769 --> 00:12:52,537
our representatives to know what

300
00:12:52,537 --> 00:12:56,609
is most important to us, the

301
00:12:56,609 --> 00:12:59,444
work can get done. I'm excited

302
00:12:59,444 --> 00:13:00,645
to see what this is going to

303
00:13:00,645 --> 00:13:01,847
look like at nighttime. Now,

304
00:13:01,847 --> 00:13:03,782
with the lights on, let's work

305
00:13:03,782 --> 00:13:08,620
and keep the lights on. In

306
00:13:08,620 --> 00:13:10,355
Pico-union, the shovels are

307
00:13:10,355 --> 00:13:11,923
poised and crews are ready to

308
00:13:11,923 --> 00:13:14,226
improve accessibility in the

309
00:13:14,226 --> 00:13:15,727
neighborhood. The project is

310
00:13:15,727 --> 00:13:17,329
tied to affordable housing, so

311
00:13:17,329 --> 00:13:20,065
living, working, walking and

312
00:13:20,065 --> 00:13:21,967
accessing Pico-union is set to

313
00:13:21,967 --> 00:13:32,310
be better than ever. Today we

314
00:13:32,310 --> 00:13:34,112
are doing the groundbreaking for

315
00:13:34,112 --> 00:13:35,647
a significant amount of street

316
00:13:35,647 --> 00:13:37,216
infrastructure being invested

317
00:13:37,216 --> 00:13:42,321
here in Pico-union. We are doing

318
00:13:42,321 --> 00:13:43,855
crosswalks, we are doing Ada

319
00:13:43,855 --> 00:13:45,424
accessibility ramps, sidewalks.

320
00:13:45,424 --> 00:13:48,027
We're doing the street, street

321
00:13:48,027 --> 00:13:53,098
lights. This is a phenomenal day

322
00:13:53,098 --> 00:13:56,301
for Pico-union. When we talk

323
00:13:56,301 --> 00:13:57,635
about the future of

324
00:13:57,635 --> 00:13:59,204
infrastructure investment in the

325
00:13:59,204 --> 00:14:01,373
city of Los Angeles, this

326
00:14:01,373 --> 00:14:03,074
project exemplifies and embodies

327
00:14:03,074 --> 00:14:04,943
the future, especially where

328
00:14:04,943 --> 00:14:07,546
affordable housing is our

329
00:14:07,546 --> 00:14:09,181
centerpiece. So this project is

330
00:14:09,181 --> 00:14:10,782
tied to an affordable housing

331
00:14:10,782 --> 00:14:11,950
development that has moved

332
00:14:11,950 --> 00:14:13,419
forward in this area.

333
00:14:13,419 --> 00:14:15,020
Recognizing that we are bringing

334
00:14:15,020 --> 00:14:17,222
more people to this area, we

335
00:14:17,222 --> 00:14:18,256
wanted to make sure that people

336
00:14:18,256 --> 00:14:19,224
could have safe street

337
00:14:19,224 --> 00:14:20,826
infrastructure so that kids can

338
00:14:20,826 --> 00:14:22,360
walk to the school safely.

339
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:22,994
Parents can walk to work safely,

340
00:14:22,994 --> 00:14:25,097
and everybody can come back

341
00:14:25,097 --> 00:14:26,731
home. We really believe that our

342
00:14:26,731 --> 00:14:27,332
streets should be designed for

343
00:14:27,332 --> 00:14:29,034
people, and you do that by

344
00:14:29,034 --> 00:14:31,236
making sure that people feel

345
00:14:31,236 --> 00:14:31,703
safe walking in their

346
00:14:31,703 --> 00:14:32,671
neighborhoods. And so that's

347
00:14:32,671 --> 00:14:34,206
really our motivation. We as a

348
00:14:34,206 --> 00:14:35,974
city are coming through for our

349
00:14:35,974 --> 00:14:37,042
community members, for the

350
00:14:37,042 --> 00:14:38,043
voters, for the taxpayers. I'm

351
00:14:38,043 --> 00:14:40,245
just glad that we're able to

352
00:14:40,245 --> 00:14:40,912
uplift that and have this day to

353
00:14:40,912 --> 00:14:43,215
day for them. And with that,

354
00:14:43,215 --> 00:14:44,583
we're going to grab our shovels

355
00:14:44,583 --> 00:14:46,518
and we're going to break some

356
00:14:46,518 --> 00:14:49,854
ground. Two, one. Yay Let's go

357
00:14:49,854 --> 00:14:55,494
see Street infrastructure.

358
00:14:55,494 --> 00:14:57,395
Councilwoman Heather Hutt, her

359
00:14:57,395 --> 00:14:58,897
office and local volunteers

360
00:14:58,897 --> 00:15:00,632
gathered to help with food

361
00:15:00,632 --> 00:15:01,800
supplies for the holidays. The

362
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,403
much needed food giveaway helped

363
00:15:04,403 --> 00:15:05,838
neighbors in need, allowing

364
00:15:05,838 --> 00:15:11,610
everyone to celebrate. Where

365
00:15:11,610 --> 00:15:14,513
we're at, Michelle and Barack

366
00:15:14,513 --> 00:15:17,116
Obama sports complex right here

367
00:15:17,116 --> 00:15:18,750
on Obama Boulevard. And what

368
00:15:18,750 --> 00:15:21,453
we're doing is a much needed

369
00:15:21,453 --> 00:15:23,989
food giveaway. We have fresh

370
00:15:23,989 --> 00:15:26,391
vegetables. Maybe you can see in

371
00:15:26,391 --> 00:15:28,293
the background we have turkey

372
00:15:28,293 --> 00:15:31,296
and we have a line that started

373
00:15:31,296 --> 00:15:32,797
really early this morning

374
00:15:32,797 --> 00:15:36,234
because people are in need.

375
00:15:36,234 --> 00:15:37,402
We're giving to the community.

376
00:15:37,402 --> 00:15:39,037
We're giving just for people who

377
00:15:39,037 --> 00:15:40,739
are just might be a little bit

378
00:15:40,739 --> 00:15:42,273
less fortunate when it comes to

379
00:15:42,273 --> 00:15:44,043
Christmas and food and making

380
00:15:44,043 --> 00:15:45,210
sure, you know, the community

381
00:15:45,210 --> 00:15:46,779
just has something to eat with

382
00:15:46,779 --> 00:15:50,049
their family. I'm helping people

383
00:15:50,049 --> 00:15:51,850
and giving back. It's the

384
00:15:51,850 --> 00:15:54,019
holiday season and times are

385
00:15:54,019 --> 00:15:56,221
hard. I've probably been here

386
00:15:56,221 --> 00:15:58,824
for like each four years and I

387
00:15:58,824 --> 00:16:01,226
come back just to help and give

388
00:16:01,226 --> 00:16:03,762
back this impacts a lot of

389
00:16:03,762 --> 00:16:05,297
people and she's impacting the

390
00:16:05,297 --> 00:16:06,531
community. Different communities

391
00:16:06,531 --> 00:16:08,834
as well. Just seeing the smiles

392
00:16:08,834 --> 00:16:10,335
on these people's faces and

393
00:16:10,335 --> 00:16:11,003
seeing how grateful they are. It

394
00:16:11,003 --> 00:16:13,906
is an amazing thing. The

395
00:16:13,906 --> 00:16:15,340
volunteers are from the

396
00:16:15,340 --> 00:16:16,908
community. Many of them are my

397
00:16:16,908 --> 00:16:19,444
family members. Everybody's here

398
00:16:19,444 --> 00:16:21,914
to give us a hand. My whole team

399
00:16:21,914 --> 00:16:23,381
has been out here since early,

400
00:16:23,381 --> 00:16:28,320
early this morning organizing.

401
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,355
Food is really expensive and

402
00:16:30,355 --> 00:16:33,358
people have food insecurities.

403
00:16:33,358 --> 00:16:35,828
This should stabilize how they

404
00:16:35,828 --> 00:16:37,563
feel about what their next meal

405
00:16:37,563 --> 00:16:39,898
is, and that's what we're trying

406
00:16:39,898 --> 00:16:48,340
to satisfy. Two sides of the

407
00:16:48,340 --> 00:16:50,375
same coin are at work in South

408
00:16:50,375 --> 00:16:52,210
LA with funding for green and

409
00:16:52,210 --> 00:16:53,845
sustainable projects. Parks in

410
00:16:53,845 --> 00:16:56,547
the area are getting EV chargers

411
00:16:56,547 --> 00:16:58,083
and more tree coverage, both of

412
00:16:58,083 --> 00:17:00,252
which will help bring down

413
00:17:00,252 --> 00:17:01,353
pollution levels in the

414
00:17:01,353 --> 00:17:06,125
neighborhoods. Where Harbor Park

415
00:17:06,125 --> 00:17:07,625
in South LA were celebrating the

416
00:17:07,625 --> 00:17:08,994
installations of the South LA

417
00:17:08,994 --> 00:17:14,566
Ecolab for the EV chargers. This

418
00:17:14,566 --> 00:17:15,767
is part of a bigger program,

419
00:17:15,767 --> 00:17:19,137
universal Basic Mobility, which

420
00:17:19,137 --> 00:17:22,307
is a 30 million investment in

421
00:17:22,307 --> 00:17:23,875
South Los Angeles to bring

422
00:17:23,875 --> 00:17:26,678
mobility options, access to

423
00:17:26,678 --> 00:17:28,212
opportunity and increased

424
00:17:28,212 --> 00:17:31,316
transportation equity. While

425
00:17:31,316 --> 00:17:32,351
reducing greenhouse gas

426
00:17:32,351 --> 00:17:36,121
emissions at the same time, the

427
00:17:36,121 --> 00:17:38,223
bureau got invited to

428
00:17:38,223 --> 00:17:39,558
participate in the TCC grant

429
00:17:39,558 --> 00:17:41,392
program, and our role is to

430
00:17:41,392 --> 00:17:43,195
install 16 EV chargers across

431
00:17:43,195 --> 00:17:44,262
four different parks here in

432
00:17:44,262 --> 00:17:45,664
South LA. Our charging program

433
00:17:45,664 --> 00:17:47,499
is a little different than most

434
00:17:47,499 --> 00:17:49,301
. Um, we install chargers on

435
00:17:49,301 --> 00:17:50,769
existing infrastructure. We

436
00:17:50,769 --> 00:17:51,870
found that our existing street

437
00:17:51,870 --> 00:17:53,772
light circuits had extra

438
00:17:53,772 --> 00:17:55,073
capacity when we converted to

439
00:17:55,073 --> 00:17:57,976
LEDs. We currently have over 800

440
00:17:57,976 --> 00:17:59,044
chargers throughout the city of

441
00:17:59,044 --> 00:18:01,346
Los Angeles, so these chargers

442
00:18:01,346 --> 00:18:03,214
are going to offer a convenient

443
00:18:03,214 --> 00:18:05,417
place for people to charge close

444
00:18:05,417 --> 00:18:06,284
to home, especially for people

445
00:18:06,284 --> 00:18:08,320
who may have challenges charging

446
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:09,721
at home like people who live in

447
00:18:09,721 --> 00:18:16,495
multi-family housing. For

448
00:18:16,495 --> 00:18:18,030
Sutherland, Ecolab, we're

449
00:18:18,030 --> 00:18:19,364
working with community

450
00:18:19,364 --> 00:18:21,099
organizations such as three

451
00:18:21,099 --> 00:18:23,000
people to increase the community

452
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:24,736
canopy in South LA, call the

453
00:18:24,736 --> 00:18:27,039
community Canopy expansion

454
00:18:27,039 --> 00:18:29,741
Project and its main goal is to

455
00:18:29,741 --> 00:18:33,545
advance shade and tree equity by

456
00:18:33,545 --> 00:18:35,380
planting 4000 trees in city

457
00:18:35,380 --> 00:18:38,951
parkways and also distributing

458
00:18:38,951 --> 00:18:40,485
2000 fruit or shade trees to

459
00:18:40,485 --> 00:18:44,756
residents to plant in their home

460
00:18:44,756 --> 00:18:46,158
. Both projects will help each

461
00:18:46,158 --> 00:18:47,960
other. The charging station will

462
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:51,196
help with pollution with less

463
00:18:51,196 --> 00:18:55,200
carbon monoxide and the area and

464
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,369
the tree planting will help

465
00:18:57,369 --> 00:19:00,239
absorb that. Uh carbon monoxide

466
00:19:00,239 --> 00:19:01,806
. With the events that we had in

467
00:19:01,806 --> 00:19:04,109
certain parks where we gave away

468
00:19:04,109 --> 00:19:05,577
free seeds and like he said,

469
00:19:05,577 --> 00:19:07,045
with the trees, we also was

470
00:19:07,045 --> 00:19:09,548
teaching you how to plant and

471
00:19:09,548 --> 00:19:10,415
provide and take care of the

472
00:19:10,415 --> 00:19:14,886
tree. Also. This is the first

473
00:19:14,886 --> 00:19:16,387
park that we're completing. The

474
00:19:16,387 --> 00:19:17,021
installations we are working in

475
00:19:17,021 --> 00:19:18,823
different parks in South L.A.

476
00:19:18,823 --> 00:19:21,827
where we are also installing EV

477
00:19:21,827 --> 00:19:23,528
chargers. Our next park will be

478
00:19:23,528 --> 00:19:25,363
Vermont Square, South Park and

479
00:19:25,363 --> 00:19:36,141

00:23:06,451 --> 00:23:09,688
community working together since

569
00:23:09,688 --> 00:23:13,057
I got here in 2022. We've really

570
00:23:13,057 --> 00:23:14,559
been working on homelessness,

571
00:23:14,559 --> 00:23:16,862
and I'm proud to say we've

572
00:23:16,862 --> 00:23:18,296
successfully brought down

573
00:23:18,296 --> 00:23:21,600
homelessness in our district by

574
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,569
29, and we've gotten over 2000

575
00:23:24,569 --> 00:23:27,639
people in permanent housing. I'm

576
00:23:27,639 --> 00:23:29,306
really proud of that. And, you

577
00:23:29,306 --> 00:23:31,242
know, it's not over. There's

578
00:23:31,242 --> 00:23:34,646
more work to be done. I'm

579
00:23:34,646 --> 00:23:36,181
committed to using every city

580
00:23:36,181 --> 00:23:38,450
resource to bring more parks

581
00:23:38,450 --> 00:23:40,451
into CD ten. We're currently

582
00:23:40,451 --> 00:23:42,921
working on a plan to do a major

583
00:23:42,921 --> 00:23:45,690
expansion to Seoul International

584
00:23:45,690 --> 00:23:47,225
Park, and the past few months

585
00:23:47,225 --> 00:23:49,127
we've secured major renovations

586
00:23:49,127 --> 00:23:52,163
to be made to Chateau Park and

587
00:23:52,163 --> 00:23:53,798
Lafayette Park, and we also just

588
00:23:53,798 --> 00:23:56,535
finished renovating the football

589
00:23:56,535 --> 00:23:58,069
field here at Obama Sports

590
00:23:58,069 --> 00:24:00,871
Complex. So when we think of

591
00:24:00,871 --> 00:24:02,273
Koreatown, it's a very dense

592
00:24:02,273 --> 00:24:05,610
population. And in going outside

593
00:24:05,610 --> 00:24:07,078
the box, thinking of ways to

594
00:24:07,078 --> 00:24:10,882
make spaces usable is why we

595
00:24:10,882 --> 00:24:12,884
expanded Pio Pico Library to

596
00:24:12,884 --> 00:24:15,720
make a library park and we

597
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,055
should see the completion of

598
00:24:17,055 --> 00:24:19,624
that very soon. With the World

599
00:24:19,624 --> 00:24:21,292
Cup all star weekend, Super Bowl

600
00:24:21,292 --> 00:24:23,928
and the Olympics all heading to

601
00:24:23,928 --> 00:24:25,497
Los Angeles, we're standing on

602
00:24:25,497 --> 00:24:27,866
the edge of a massive economic

603
00:24:27,866 --> 00:24:29,935
boom, but a boom only matters if

604
00:24:29,935 --> 00:24:32,103
the wealth stays in the

605
00:24:32,103 --> 00:24:33,705
neighborhood. This is why our

606
00:24:33,705 --> 00:24:35,306
office launched our small

607
00:24:35,306 --> 00:24:37,876
business Workshop series by

608
00:24:37,876 --> 00:24:39,177
giving our local businesses

609
00:24:39,177 --> 00:24:41,913
access to tools like ramp, they

610
00:24:41,913 --> 00:24:43,881
can position themselves to

611
00:24:43,881 --> 00:24:46,351
secure formal city contracts,

612
00:24:46,351 --> 00:24:48,119
transforming them from

613
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,855
spectators into vendors and

614
00:24:50,855 --> 00:24:52,591
workers. That will make these

615
00:24:52,591 --> 00:24:56,327
games possible. We're going to

616
00:24:56,327 --> 00:24:58,697
celebrate all the words of

617
00:24:58,697 --> 00:25:00,297
Martin Luther King. We have the

618
00:25:00,297 --> 00:25:03,167
MLK parade coming in January.

619
00:25:03,167 --> 00:25:05,069
I'm excited. It's running all

620
00:25:05,069 --> 00:25:05,870
through the 10th district, so

621
00:25:05,870 --> 00:25:08,973
come out to King Boulevard and

622
00:25:08,973 --> 00:25:11,743
see all of the joy that comes

623
00:25:11,743 --> 00:25:14,613
with the Civil rights fight. And

624
00:25:14,613 --> 00:25:16,281
then love. Hut it is something I

625
00:25:16,281 --> 00:25:18,716
do in Women's Month to remind

626
00:25:18,716 --> 00:25:21,553
women about how important they

627
00:25:21,553 --> 00:25:23,421
are and to know that I care

628
00:25:23,421 --> 00:25:27,391
about their struggle. I can't

629
00:25:27,391 --> 00:25:30,528
believe we're almost at 26

630
00:25:30,528 --> 00:25:32,897
continuing to get our unhoused

631
00:25:32,897 --> 00:25:33,999
neighbors the housing and

632
00:25:33,999 --> 00:25:35,666
resources they need. That's

633
00:25:35,666 --> 00:25:37,001
number one. Every single day.

634
00:25:37,001 --> 00:25:39,804
Continue growing park space

635
00:25:39,804 --> 00:25:41,439
across the district. There are

636
00:25:41,439 --> 00:25:42,840
so many children and families

637
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:46,778
who have limited access to being

638
00:25:46,778 --> 00:25:48,646
outside to be in parks in our

639
00:25:48,646 --> 00:25:50,014
district. And I feel like

640
00:25:50,014 --> 00:25:51,415
they're a necessity. So I'm

641
00:25:51,415 --> 00:25:52,884
committing to making sure we

642
00:25:52,884 --> 00:25:56,221
don't forget. I feel like we've

643
00:25:56,221 --> 00:25:59,224
had some lessons learned in 25,

644
00:25:59,224 --> 00:26:01,760
25, showed how resilient Los

645
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:03,495
Angeles is, and then we'll move

646
00:26:03,495 --> 00:26:05,229
on with that strength and

647
00:26:05,229 --> 00:26:11,402
resilience in. 26. All the good

648
00:26:11,402 --> 00:26:14,039
boy and girl dogs at the LA

649
00:26:14,039 --> 00:26:15,407
Animal Services shelters got

650
00:26:15,407 --> 00:26:18,109
holiday treats and toys, while

651
00:26:18,109 --> 00:26:19,911
the generous gifts are a help,

652
00:26:19,911 --> 00:26:21,445
the intention is to highlight

653
00:26:21,445 --> 00:26:23,648
the dogs and help get them into

654
00:26:23,648 --> 00:26:33,825
their forever homes. Today, the

655
00:26:33,825 --> 00:26:35,393
Karen Cooper Foundation brought

656
00:26:35,393 --> 00:26:38,096
Santa sacks for the dogs across

657
00:26:38,096 --> 00:26:41,800
our six animal services centers

658
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:43,767
. We're actually bringing

659
00:26:43,767 --> 00:26:45,136
Christmas toys to the shelter

660
00:26:45,136 --> 00:26:46,471
here. Actually, there's 1100

661
00:26:46,471 --> 00:26:47,972
toys that we're bringing really

662
00:26:47,972 --> 00:26:49,574
wonderful toys and treats for

663
00:26:49,574 --> 00:26:50,975
all the shelter dogs that are

664
00:26:50,975 --> 00:26:52,777
here. What else can I say?

665
00:26:52,777 --> 00:26:54,946
Christmas came early for the

666
00:26:54,946 --> 00:26:59,216
shelter pets in LA city. We know

667
00:26:59,216 --> 00:27:00,585
these shelter dogs don't really

668
00:27:00,585 --> 00:27:02,086
have that much of an opportunity

669
00:27:02,086 --> 00:27:03,354
to have any joy during the

670
00:27:03,354 --> 00:27:04,922
holidays, so what we do is we

671
00:27:04,922 --> 00:27:06,724
bring them all these treats. The

672
00:27:06,724 --> 00:27:09,059
other reason that we do it is to

673
00:27:09,059 --> 00:27:10,695
draw attention to adoptions that

674
00:27:10,695 --> 00:27:12,931
are so much needed. Any animal

675
00:27:12,931 --> 00:27:15,633
that goes to a home, it's so

676
00:27:15,633 --> 00:27:16,700
important for us because it

677
00:27:16,700 --> 00:27:18,636
makes much needed space in the

678
00:27:18,636 --> 00:27:24,342
shelters. So we wanted to adopt

679
00:27:24,342 --> 00:27:25,910
a dog, so he just came and he

680
00:27:25,910 --> 00:27:28,579
fell in love. One of the dogs

681
00:27:28,579 --> 00:27:30,414
and I was at work when he told

682
00:27:30,414 --> 00:27:31,749
me he already adopted him and I

683
00:27:31,749 --> 00:27:33,818
was like, why didn't you tell

684
00:27:33,818 --> 00:27:35,152
me? And then when I came to

685
00:27:35,152 --> 00:27:36,788
visited him, I'm like, my heart

686
00:27:36,788 --> 00:27:37,955
melted too. So I'm like, so

687
00:27:37,955 --> 00:27:40,191
happy that he decided to get

688
00:27:40,191 --> 00:27:42,227
this dog. Super happy, right

689
00:27:42,227 --> 00:27:43,761
now. I know we're both super

690
00:27:43,761 --> 00:27:45,029
happy right now. That's all I

691
00:27:45,029 --> 00:27:50,935
can say. Michelle and I are here

692
00:27:50,935 --> 00:27:51,902
for this cause we're here to

693
00:27:51,902 --> 00:27:54,071
bring Christmas to them. But at

694
00:27:54,071 --> 00:27:55,907
the end of the day, what needs

695
00:27:55,907 --> 00:27:57,141
to really happen is these little

696
00:27:57,141 --> 00:27:59,443
guys and gals need to be in

697
00:27:59,443 --> 00:28:00,845
their forever homes. It's really

698
00:28:00,845 --> 00:28:02,313
helpful to adopt a dog that

699
00:28:02,313 --> 00:28:05,383
would change a life to find more

700
00:28:05,383 --> 00:28:06,717
ways to support the department,

701
00:28:06,717 --> 00:28:08,186
whether it's volunteering,

702
00:28:08,186 --> 00:28:09,954
adopting, or donating, you can

703
00:28:09,954 --> 00:28:11,322
visit LA Animal Services, dot

704
00:28:11,322 --> 00:28:16,994
com. The recent LA rains

705
00:28:16,994 --> 00:28:18,395
couldn't dent the community

706
00:28:18,395 --> 00:28:20,765
spirit on display at the annual

707
00:28:20,765 --> 00:28:22,366
Kwanzaa Festival. In fact,

708
00:28:22,366 --> 00:28:25,069
legend has it that rain on this

709
00:28:25,069 --> 00:28:27,572
parade is a sign of good luck

710
00:28:27,572 --> 00:28:34,145
and blessings to come. The

711
00:28:34,145 --> 00:28:36,915
question came up what are we

712
00:28:36,915 --> 00:28:39,918
going to do for Kwanzaa? Why

713
00:28:39,918 --> 00:28:50,227
don't we do a parade? For With

714
00:28:50,227 --> 00:28:52,764
the Kwanzaa, every day does is

715
00:28:52,764 --> 00:28:57,836
it brings in the new year. The

716
00:28:57,836 --> 00:29:02,073
theme of this year's gala day is

717
00:29:02,073 --> 00:29:04,976
kerfuffle, which is literally

718
00:29:04,976 --> 00:29:07,879
resurrection. And so we're in a

719
00:29:07,879 --> 00:29:11,582
resurrection period. I mean,

720
00:29:11,582 --> 00:29:13,818
Kwanzaa to me, is celebrating

721
00:29:13,818 --> 00:29:16,220
black pride. So just to have

722
00:29:16,220 --> 00:29:17,988
this moment for us to be able to

723
00:29:17,988 --> 00:29:19,556
gather together and do something

724
00:29:19,556 --> 00:29:21,059
meaningful with no drama, fun

725
00:29:21,059 --> 00:29:23,695
times. Leimert Park is always a

726
00:29:23,695 --> 00:29:25,396
good time. I'm excited to be out

727
00:29:25,396 --> 00:29:27,097
here getting these ladies 39 and

728
00:29:27,097 --> 00:29:28,299
over. We get out here double

729
00:29:28,299 --> 00:29:30,401
done a line dance, hula hoops,

730
00:29:30,401 --> 00:29:31,369
play games, encourage each

731
00:29:31,369 --> 00:29:31,903
other. Just bringing back

732
00:29:31,903 --> 00:29:35,940
childhood nostalgia. We get

733
00:29:35,940 --> 00:29:40,411
excited about all the fun, the

734
00:29:40,411 --> 00:29:44,215
cards and the marching and the

735
00:29:44,215 --> 00:29:46,884
walking and all the good things

736
00:29:46,884 --> 00:29:52,957
that are in this community. Just

737
00:29:52,957 --> 00:29:59,364
glad to be here and grateful at

738
00:29:59,364 --> 00:30:03,701
77, to be able to hang with the

739
00:30:03,701 --> 00:30:10,274
young folks now. When you walk

740
00:30:10,274 --> 00:30:12,476
in the ring at Kwanzaa time, you

741
00:30:12,476 --> 00:30:15,213
got blessings. That's what the

742
00:30:15,213 --> 00:30:16,781
things you remember the more it

743
00:30:16,781 --> 00:30:27,825
rains, the greater the blessings

744
00:30:27,825 --> 00:30:27,958
.

745
00:30:27,958 --> 00:30:29,093
LA Civil Rights Department is

746
00:30:29,093 --> 00:30:31,763
firmly focused on ensuring that

747
00:30:31,763 --> 00:30:33,330
hate has no home in LA.

748
00:30:33,330 --> 00:30:35,299
Executive director Kapri Maddox

749
00:30:35,299 --> 00:30:36,734
spoke about the department's

750
00:30:36,734 --> 00:30:38,169
year of action campaigning for

751
00:30:38,169 --> 00:30:39,537
civil rights and civil society

752
00:30:39,537 --> 00:30:42,106
in a Los Angeles that lights the

753
00:30:42,106 --> 00:30:51,883
way for all. Hate has no home in

754
00:30:51,883 --> 00:30:58,822
Los Angeles. The relaunch of the

755
00:30:58,822 --> 00:31:01,259
campaign, called Just Say Hello

756
00:31:01,259 --> 00:31:02,960
, sends a strong message that

757
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,796
hate has no home in Los Angeles.

758
00:31:05,796 --> 00:31:08,132
We want to build a sense of

759
00:31:08,132 --> 00:31:10,635
community, a welcoming feeling

760
00:31:10,635 --> 00:31:15,473
with Angelenos. So our

761
00:31:15,473 --> 00:31:18,609
reparations report is about 400

762
00:31:18,609 --> 00:31:21,079
pages of the African American

763
00:31:21,079 --> 00:31:23,414
experience in Los Angeles, over

764
00:31:23,414 --> 00:31:27,151
a 100 year period. There are so

765
00:31:27,151 --> 00:31:29,821
many spaces where your color

766
00:31:29,821 --> 00:31:32,590
speaks before you do. In

767
00:31:32,590 --> 00:31:35,125
America, but even in the city of

768
00:31:35,125 --> 00:31:37,261
Angels. And so we want to be

769
00:31:37,261 --> 00:31:39,831
intentional to send a strong

770
00:31:39,831 --> 00:31:42,734
message that we cannot unsee

771
00:31:42,734 --> 00:31:44,235
some of the harms of the past,

772
00:31:44,235 --> 00:31:45,703
some of the traumas, and to

773
00:31:45,703 --> 00:31:48,806
think about how we can, as a

774
00:31:48,806 --> 00:31:54,212
city, right. Those wrongs. We

775
00:31:54,212 --> 00:31:57,081
want to be a city where people

776
00:31:57,081 --> 00:31:58,549
can live their best lives

777
00:31:58,549 --> 00:32:01,919
regardless of how they identify.

778
00:32:01,919 --> 00:32:04,222
We stand with folks while

779
00:32:04,222 --> 00:32:05,690
they're going through their

780
00:32:05,690 --> 00:32:08,226
transition, while they're

781
00:32:08,226 --> 00:32:10,261
looking for jobs. And so when

782
00:32:10,261 --> 00:32:13,631
you think about the LGBTQ plus

783
00:32:13,631 --> 00:32:15,399
community being discriminated in

784
00:32:15,399 --> 00:32:17,235
the workplace, particularly the

785
00:32:17,235 --> 00:32:19,537
transgender population, we want

786
00:32:19,537 --> 00:32:21,139
to make sure we have a pathway

787
00:32:21,139 --> 00:32:24,042
for people to be self-sustaining

788
00:32:24,042 --> 00:32:26,210
in Los Angeles, making sure that

789
00:32:26,210 --> 00:32:29,213
we have housing as well as job

790
00:32:29,213 --> 00:32:31,983
fairs for this targeted

791
00:32:31,983 --> 00:32:36,386
population is a just service. I

792
00:32:36,386 --> 00:32:40,625
just want to say I love AAPI

793
00:32:40,625 --> 00:32:42,760
month, Asian American Pacific

794
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:44,262
Islander Month is one of my

795
00:32:44,262 --> 00:32:45,630
favorite months in the city. I

796
00:32:45,630 --> 00:32:47,632
love the celebration, the food,

797
00:32:47,632 --> 00:32:50,068
the colors, the community, the

798
00:32:50,068 --> 00:32:51,635
pride. Of course, we had a

799
00:32:51,635 --> 00:32:53,404
number of elected officials,

800
00:32:53,404 --> 00:32:56,107
including our very own John Lee

801
00:32:56,107 --> 00:32:58,409
, Nithya Raman and many others.

802
00:32:58,409 --> 00:33:00,278
This is what I really love about

803
00:33:00,278 --> 00:33:02,947
our elected officials is you may

804
00:33:02,947 --> 00:33:04,648
represent a group in your

805
00:33:04,648 --> 00:33:06,984
identity, but you go out and you

806
00:33:06,984 --> 00:33:08,552
celebrate all of Los Angeles

807
00:33:08,552 --> 00:33:14,125
every Heritage Month. We call

808
00:33:14,125 --> 00:33:15,793
our service day. Tom Labonge Day

809
00:33:15,793 --> 00:33:18,796
of Service. Tom Labonge loved

810
00:33:18,796 --> 00:33:20,397
people. He oftentimes bringing

811
00:33:20,397 --> 00:33:22,767
together people from different

812
00:33:22,767 --> 00:33:24,435
backgrounds and the opportunity

813
00:33:24,435 --> 00:33:27,004
for us to do Tom Labonge day of

814
00:33:27,004 --> 00:33:28,939
service gave us a moment for

815
00:33:28,939 --> 00:33:31,108
people to work shoulder to

816
00:33:31,108 --> 00:33:32,743
shoulder with their fellow

817
00:33:32,743 --> 00:33:35,713
Angelenos and have that common

818
00:33:35,713 --> 00:33:38,616
connection of wanting to serve.

819
00:33:38,616 --> 00:33:40,685
We need to understand that it

820
00:33:40,685 --> 00:33:42,586
takes all of us to build a

821
00:33:42,586 --> 00:33:47,358
better Los Angeles. We are

822
00:33:47,358 --> 00:33:49,694
intentional here at LA Civil

823
00:33:49,694 --> 00:33:51,161
Rights to say, regardless of

824
00:33:51,161 --> 00:33:53,430
your faith, we stand with you.

825
00:33:53,430 --> 00:33:54,965
We don't have hate crime.

826
00:33:54,965 --> 00:33:56,500
Stopping at the door just based

827
00:33:56,500 --> 00:33:57,902
on your skin color or how you

828
00:33:57,902 --> 00:34:00,571
identify. We also have

829
00:34:00,571 --> 00:34:02,006
tremendous hate crimes happening

830
00:34:02,006 --> 00:34:03,441
against folks based on their

831
00:34:03,441 --> 00:34:06,277
faith. So we want to be unified

832
00:34:06,277 --> 00:34:09,847
with all faiths to say, we see

833
00:34:09,847 --> 00:34:11,716
you, we stand with you, we

834
00:34:11,716 --> 00:34:14,651
celebrate you, and we want to

835
00:34:14,651 --> 00:34:16,020
create a Los Angeles where

836
00:34:16,020 --> 00:34:18,489
people are free to worship as

837
00:34:18,489 --> 00:34:20,391
they wish and to not feel like

838
00:34:20,391 --> 00:34:21,926
they're at risk if they're going

839
00:34:21,926 --> 00:34:24,262
to temple or going to the mosque

840
00:34:24,262 --> 00:34:27,665
or going to their churches.

841
00:34:27,665 --> 00:34:30,968
We've been able to support folks

842
00:34:30,968 --> 00:34:32,236
with Know Your Rights

843
00:34:32,236 --> 00:34:33,971
information with Angelenos. We

844
00:34:33,971 --> 00:34:36,574
even had a know Your Rights fair

845
00:34:36,574 --> 00:34:38,709
at my beloved Cal State LA,

846
00:34:38,709 --> 00:34:39,944
where we had 19 service

847
00:34:39,944 --> 00:34:42,647
organizations to provide advice

848
00:34:42,647 --> 00:34:44,915
, guidance, resources for

849
00:34:44,915 --> 00:34:46,884
students at the Cal State LA

850
00:34:46,884 --> 00:34:49,754
campus during one of the

851
00:34:49,754 --> 00:34:51,656
toughest times of the Ice raids

852
00:34:51,656 --> 00:34:55,459
in the City of Angels. When I

853
00:34:55,459 --> 00:34:56,827
think about the we Belong

854
00:34:56,827 --> 00:34:58,495
campaign, it's something I'm

855
00:34:58,495 --> 00:35:00,764
super excited about because we

856
00:35:00,764 --> 00:35:04,468
wanted to send a message to our

857
00:35:04,468 --> 00:35:06,871
immigrants that you belong here.

858
00:35:06,871 --> 00:35:09,240
And so the campaign is I belong.

859
00:35:09,240 --> 00:35:14,345
You belong, we belong. You know

860
00:35:14,345 --> 00:35:16,013
, people often say in hate, go

861
00:35:16,013 --> 00:35:19,083
back to where you belong. We

862
00:35:19,083 --> 00:35:20,317
wanted to blanket the city with

863
00:35:20,317 --> 00:35:24,789
a message that everyone belongs

864
00:35:24,789 --> 00:35:26,324
. We were intentional to do this

865
00:35:26,324 --> 00:35:28,759
in a number of languages, but

866
00:35:28,759 --> 00:35:29,893
our first language out of the

867
00:35:29,893 --> 00:35:32,363
box, we did it in Spanish. Many

868
00:35:32,363 --> 00:35:33,798
of us have come from different

869
00:35:33,798 --> 00:35:35,766
places and spaces for the

870
00:35:35,766 --> 00:35:37,768
freedom and the liberties. Los

871
00:35:37,768 --> 00:35:43,707
Angeles offers us all. Our city

872
00:35:43,707 --> 00:35:45,943
is strong. We are standing with

873
00:35:45,943 --> 00:35:48,278
all communities. I want you to

874
00:35:48,278 --> 00:35:49,880
know we have your back. We are

875
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,316
here for you and we are building

876
00:35:52,316 --> 00:35:58,855
a Los Angeles for all. In this

1130
00:57:02,518 --> 00:57:05,521
JOINING US.

1131
00:57:05,521 --> 00:57:08,224
SADLY, 2026 HAS STARTED WITH NO

1132
00:57:08,224 --> 00:57:12,161
SHORT OF CHAOS WITH

1133
00:57:12,161 --> 00:57:13,096
ADMINISTRATION LEADER NA

1134
00:57:13,096 --> 00:57:14,297
CONTINUES TO INSULT.

1135
00:57:14,297 --> 00:57:17,033
SADLY WE JUST SAW A WOMAN LOSE

1136
00:57:17,033 --> 00:57:24,140
HER LIFE, WHEN RENEE GOODE, AT

1137
00:57:24,140 --> 00:57:25,207
THE HANDS OF ICE.

1138
00:57:25,207 --> 00:57:27,176
THIS IS THE 5th LOSS OF LIFE

1139
00:57:27,176 --> 00:57:29,012
THAT HAS RESULTED FROM THE

1140
00:57:29,012 --> 00:57:30,880
ASSAULTS LEAD BY ICE AGENTS

1141
00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:32,482
ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

1142
00:57:32,482 --> 00:57:36,152
BUT WHAT IS MORE INFURIATING IS

1143
00:57:36,152 --> 00:57:37,554
THAT ASIDE FROM THE ASSAULTS

1144
00:57:37,554 --> 00:57:40,990
THAT HAVE BEEN LEVEED TOWARDS

1145
00:57:40,990 --> 00:57:42,592
THSE THAT ARE EITHER

1146
00:57:42,592 --> 00:57:45,128
PROTESTING OR HELPING TO

1147
00:57:45,128 --> 00:57:47,463
DOCUMENT THE ACTIONS THAT ARE

1148
00:57:47,463 --> 00:57:50,233
TAKING PLACE IN COMMUNITIES

1149
00:57:50,233 --> 00:57:52,001
ACROSS THIS COUNTRY, WE KNOW

1150
00:57:52,001 --> 00:57:55,772
THE HARM THAT IS BEING

1151
00:57:55,772 --> 00:57:58,541
INFLICTED ON MEMBERS OF OUR

1152
00:57:58,541 --> 00:57:59,676
COMMUNITY WHO'S VOICES ARE

1153
00:57:59,676 --> 00:58:01,945
BEING IGNORED.

1154
00:58:01,945 --> 00:58:04,246
WHO'S FAMILIES ARE GETTING TORN

1155
00:58:04,246 --> 00:58:09,252
APART.

1156
00:58:09,252 --> 00:58:12,055
THIS CHAOS CONTINUES TO INFLICT

1157
00:58:12,055 --> 00:58:13,389
SUCH TREMENDOUS HARM ACROSS

1158
00:58:13,389 --> 00:58:14,857
AMERICA.

1159
00:58:14,857 --> 00:58:17,360
YOU KNOW, IT WAS JUST AT THE

1160
00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:19,028
END OF THE YEAR THAT WE BROUGHT

1161
00:58:19,028 --> 00:58:21,130
IN A NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS

1162
00:58:21,130 --> 00:58:23,399
INCLUDING MEMO TORRES TO TALK

1163
00:58:23,399 --> 00:58:27,737
ABOUT ALL THE CATALOGUING OF

1164
00:58:27,737 --> 00:58:29,806
THE INCIDENTS TAKING PLACE JUST

1165
00:58:29,806 --> 00:58:31,307
HERE IN THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

1166
00:58:31,307 --> 00:58:32,141
REGION.

1167
00:58:32,141 --> 00:58:34,644
BUT WHEN I LOOK AT THE FOOTAGE

1168
00:58:34,644 --> 00:58:37,880
OF WHAT OCCURED TO RENEE, A

1169
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:40,416
WOMAN WHO HAD JUST DROPPED OFF

1170
00:58:40,416 --> 00:58:41,584
HER SIX-YEAR-OLD SON AT SCHOOL,

1171
00:58:41,584 --> 00:58:43,920
THERE IS NO WAY THAT IT DOESN'T

1172
00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:45,521
TOUCH AND AFFECT EVERY SINGLE

1173
00:58:45,521 --> 00:58:49,392
ONE OF US BUT MAKE, MAKE NO

1174
00:58:49,392 --> 00:58:51,928
MAKE NO MISTAKE, THIS IS ALL

1175
00:58:51,928 --> 00:58:54,697
INTENDED TO INFLICT FEAR AND

1176
00:58:54,697 --> 00:58:58,501
SILENCE OUR COMMUNITIES.

1177
00:58:58,501 --> 00:59:01,638
TO BECOME COMPLICITY AND ENABLE

1178
00:59:01,638 --> 00:59:03,706
THE ASSAULTS THAT ARE HAPPENING

1179
00:59:03,706 --> 00:59:05,008
TO IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES ACROSS

1180
00:59:05,008 --> 00:59:06,709
THIS COUNTRY.

1181
00:59:06,709 --> 00:59:08,144
AND FRANKLY EVEN CITIZENS

1182
00:59:08,144 --> 00:59:10,213
ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND WE SAW

1183
00:59:10,213 --> 00:59:12,048
THAT HAPPEN WITH RENEE GOODE.

1184
00:59:12,048 --> 00:59:15,685
I WANTED TO TAKE A MOMENT TO

1185
00:59:15,685 --> 00:59:17,987
REMIND US ALL THAT WHILE WE

1186
00:59:17,987 --> 00:59:21,190
DON'T HAVE THE DIRECT AUTHORITY

1187
00:59:21,190 --> 00:59:23,026
TO SUPERCEDE WHAT THIS

1188
00:59:23,026 --> 00:59:26,429
PRESIDENT IS DOING, AND WHAT IS

1189
00:59:26,429 --> 00:59:27,997
BEING ENABLED BY FEDERAL

1190
00:59:27,997 --> 00:59:30,867

TO REPRESENT US, WE DO HAVE THE

1192
00:59:33,603 --> 00:59:35,872
OPPORTUNITY TO DOCUMENT, TRACK

1193
00:59:35,872 --> 00:59:39,809
AND PROTECT OUR RESIDENTS AND

1194
00:59:39,809 --> 00:59:40,576
DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THE

1195
00:59:40,576 --> 00:59:41,443
ACTIONS THAT TAKE PLACE IN THIS

1196
00:59:41,443 --> 00:59:43,046

00:59:43,046 --> 00:59:47,650
AND I WANT TO ASSURE THE PUBLIC

1198
00:59:47,650 --> 00:59:49,185

1199
00:59:49,185 --> 00:59:51,887
BACKS THAT WE HAVE SOUGHT, TO

1200
00:59:51,887 --> 00:59:53,189
ENSURE THAT THERE ARE ACTIONS

1201
00:59:53,189 --> 00:59:55,324
THAT WE CAN BE TAKING TO MAKE

1202
00:59:55,324 --> 00:59:58,294
THE MOST TO PROTECT MEMBERS OF

1203
00:59:58,294 --> 01:00:00,863
OUR COMMUNITIES WHETHER THEY

1204
01:00:00,863 --> 01:00:02,699
ARE PROTESTING OR WHETHER THEY

1205
01:00:02,699 --> 01:00:04,534
ARE MERELY DOCUMENTING WHAT HAS

1206
01:00:04,534 --> 01:00:07,736
TRANSPIRED HERE ON THE ASSAULTS

1207
01:00:07,736 --> 01:00:08,905
AGAINST MEMBERS OF OUR

1208
01:00:08,905 --> 01:00:10,239

GLOVES ARE OFF.

1210
01:00:11,407 --> 01:00:12,809
IT'S HAPPENING NOW, AND IT'S

1211
01:00:12,809 --> 01:00:15,778
HAPPENING THIS YEAR.

1212
01:00:15,778 --> 01:00:18,815

01:00:22,952 --> 01:00:25,021
AFFECTED DIRECTLY BY THE

1216
01:00:25,021 --> 01:00:27,790
ACTIONS OF ICE, I JUST WANTED

1217

1232
01:01:06,862 --> 01:01:10,199

1489
01:10:01,130 --> 01:10:02,798
NEW YEAR'S EVE, WHO WAS WAITING

1490
01:10:02,798 --> 01:10:06,268

1495
01:10:12,941 --> 01:10:15,210
ABSOLUTELY CITY COUNCIL AND

1496
01:10:15,210 --> 01:10:16,211
THIS ENTIRE CITY MUST LOOK AT

01:10:16,211 --> 01:10:19,381
AND SAY THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE,

1498
01:10:19,381 --> 01:10:22,584

ALLOWING THIS TO CONTINUE NOT

01:10:34,896 --> 01:10:36,699
ONLY FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT BUT

1506
01:10:36,699 --> 01:10:37,533

01:10:40,369 --> 01:10:41,503
IMMIGRATION IS A BLACK ISSUE,

1510
01:10:41,503 --> 01:10:43,572

IMMIGRANTS.

1519
01:10:58,854 --> 01:11:02,291
AND WE KNOW THAT THIS SYSTEM OF

1520
01:11:02,291 --> 01:11:05,260
WHITE SUPREMACY, RELIES ON ANTI

CAUSING HARM IN OUR COMMUNITY.

1552
01:12:19,067 --> 01:12:22,504
SO WE HAVE GOT TO STOP POINTING

AND THEY WILL LIFT REST OF

1578
01:13:08,317 --> 01:13:09,484

1579
01:13:09,484 --> 01:13:10,419
FATHER.

1580
01:13:10,419 --> 01:13:11,787
THERE IS NOTHING THAT ANYONE IN

1581
01:13:11,787 --> 01:13:13,889
THIS ROOM CAN DO TO GET JUSTICE

1582
01:13:13,889 --> 01:13:16,391
FOR KEITH PORTER BECAUSE THAT

1583
01:13:16,391 --> 01:13:17,392
WOULD MEAN HE WOULD BE HERE FOR

1584
01:13:17,392 --> 01:13:18,260

HE SHOULD NOT BE WALKING FREE,

01:13:30,639 --> 01:13:31,906
HE SHOULD STILL NOT BE

1592
01:13:32,774 --> 01:13:34,008
EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW WHAT IN

01:13:35,611 --> 01:13:36,678

1596
01:13:37,446 --> 01:13:40,482
HE SHOULD BE FACING CHARGES?

OTHERS.

01:20:08,837 --> 01:20:11,640
FOR US, IT WAS A COUNCIL DAY, A

FEW PHONE CALLS, WONDERING WHAT

1773
01:20:29,124 --> 01:20:31,893
DRAMA WOULD UNFOLD RIGHT HERE.

1774
01:20:31,893 --> 01:20:33,094
FOR THOUSANDS OF OTHERS, IT WAS

1775
01:20:33,094 --> 01:20:35,563
THE SAME.

1776
01:20:35,563 --> 01:20:37,699
SCOOCHING THE KIDS OFF TO

1777
01:20:37,699 --> 01:20:40,235
SCHOOL, DRAGGING THE TRASH BINS

1778
01:20:40,235 --> 01:20:43,438
TO THE CURB, PETTING THE DOG

1779
01:20:43,438 --> 01:20:46,875
GOODBYE AND RUSHING OFF TO WORK.

1780
01:20:46,875 --> 01:20:49,644
NEVER KNOWING THAT IT WOULD BE

1781
01:20:49,644 --> 01:20:53,982
THE LAST TIME THAT THERE WOULD

1782
01:20:53,982 --> 01:20:59,054
BE NO FORMAL GOOD-BYE.

1783
01:20:59,054 --> 01:21:01,356
CHIEF CROWLEY CALLED ME DURING

1784
01:21:01,356 --> 01:21:02,590
OUR COUNCIL MEETING TO LET ME

1785
01:21:02,590 --> 01:21:06,194
KNOW THAT THERE WAS A BURNING

1786
01:21:06,194 --> 01:21:08,063
IN THE PALISADES AND THAT IT

1787
01:21:08,063 --> 01:21:09,264
WAS GROWING QUICKLY.

1788
01:21:09,264 --> 01:21:11,666
SHE WAS CALM BUT URGENT WHEN

1789
01:21:11,666 --> 01:21:12,968
SHE SUGGESTED THAT I GET BACK

1791
01:21:15,369 --> 01:21:18,473

COUNCILMEMBER RAMAN, YOU

01:21:23,044 --> 01:21:24,179
COUNCIL DISTRICT 4.

1795
01:21:24,179 --> 01:21:27,615
WE WERE BOTH WORRIED WONDERING,

1796
01:21:27,615 --> 01:21:31,319
HOW BAD THINGS WOULD GET.

1797
01:21:31,319 --> 01:21:34,322
I ALSO REMEMBER COUNCIL

01:21:34,322 --> 01:21:37,792

1799
01:21:37,792 --> 01:21:40,194
OFFERING TO ALLOW ME TO BE

1800
01:21:40,194 --> 01:21:41,362
EXCUSED SO I CAN GET TO THE

1801
01:21:41,362 --> 01:21:46,934
WEST SIDE TO BE WITH MY

1802
01:21:46,934 --> 01:21:48,203
CONSTITUENTS.

1803
01:21:48,203 --> 01:21:51,172
WHEN I ARRIVED TO THE

1804
01:21:51,172 --> 01:21:52,107
PALISADES, THE CHAOTIC FIRE

1805
01:21:52,107 --> 01:21:53,508
STORM WAS ALREADY UNDER WAY.

1806
01:21:53,508 --> 01:21:55,243
THE AIR WAS ALREADY CHOCKED

1807
01:21:55,243 --> 01:21:57,145
WITH SMOKE, WE CAN BARELY

1808
01:21:57,145 --> 01:21:58,346
BREATHE.

1809
01:21:58,346 --> 01:22:01,783
THE WIND WAS RAGING FROM ALL

1810
01:22:01,783 --> 01:22:04,085
DIRECTIONS, THICK ASH AND

1811
01:22:04,085 --> 01:22:06,187
AMBERS WERE WHIZING THROUGH THE

1812
01:22:06,187 --> 01:22:09,157
AIR LIKE BULLETS, SIRENS CUT

1813
01:22:09,157 --> 01:22:10,992
THROUGH NEIGHBORHOODS THAT ONLY

1814
01:22:10,992 --> 01:22:13,460
HOURS BEFORE WERE QUIET AND

1815
01:22:13,460 --> 01:22:15,096
FAMILIAR.

1816
01:22:15,096 --> 01:22:16,798
OUR OWN FIREFIGHTERS WERE

1817
01:22:16,798 --> 01:22:18,867
RUSHING IN PUTTING THEIR LIVES

1818
01:22:18,867 --> 01:22:21,202
AT-RISK TRYING TO FIGHT A FIRE

1819
01:22:21,202 --> 01:22:23,238
THAT OVERWHELMED OUR SYSTEMS

1820
01:22:23,238 --> 01:22:24,806
AND RESOURCES FASTER THAN

1821
01:22:24,806 --> 01:22:25,906
ANYTHING WE HAD EVER SEEN

1822
01:22:25,906 --> 01:22:27,575
BEFORE.

1823
01:22:27,575 --> 01:22:29,644
IN FACT, THOUSANDS OF

1824
01:22:29,644 --> 01:22:32,414
FIREFIGHTERS FROM OVER 400

1825
01:22:32,414 --> 01:22:35,383
DEPARTMENTS ACROSS L.A. COUNTY,

1826
01:22:35,383 --> 01:22:38,420
CALIFORNIA, THE ENTIRE U.S. AND

1827
01:22:38,420 --> 01:22:40,288
MEXICO AND CANADA CAME TO THE

1828
01:22:40,288 --> 01:22:42,557
AID OF LOS ANGELES.

1829
01:22:42,557 --> 01:22:45,760
AT THE SAME TIME, EVACUATIONS

1830
01:22:45,760 --> 01:22:50,131
WERE ALREADY BREAKING DOWN.

1831
01:22:50,131 --> 01:22:51,066
COMMUNICATION SYSTEM SYSTEMS

1832
01:22:51,066 --> 01:22:52,467
WERE OFF LINE, THE POWER WERE

1833
01:22:52,467 --> 01:22:54,302
OUT AND SO WERE THE TRAFFIC

1834
01:22:54,302 --> 01:22:58,873
LIGHTS WITH AN ENDLESS STREAM

1835
01:22:58,873 --> 01:23:00,942
OF CARS INCHING THEIR WAY OUT

1836
01:23:00,942 --> 01:23:03,044
OF MALIBU AND PACIFIC PALISADES

1837
01:23:03,044 --> 01:23:06,681
ON TO PCH.

1838
01:23:06,681 --> 01:23:10,151
UP STREAM, TRAFFIC CAME TO A

1839
01:23:10,151 --> 01:23:14,756
STANDSTILL AS FIRE JUMPED THE

1840
01:23:14,756 --> 01:23:15,823
HILL SIDES, HUNDREDS FLED ON

1841
01:23:15,823 --> 01:23:17,325
FOOT.

1842
01:23:17,325 --> 01:23:18,726
I'LL NEVER FORGET THE SITE OF

1843
01:23:18,726 --> 01:23:22,230
SO MANY PEOPLE WALKING OUT OF

1844
01:23:22,230 --> 01:23:24,732
THE PALISADES TOWARDS THE

1845
01:23:24,732 --> 01:23:26,634
BEACH, SO MANY FOR THE LAST

1846
01:23:26,634 --> 01:23:28,369
TIME CARRYING ONLY WHAT THEY

1847
01:23:28,369 --> 01:23:31,840
COULD.

1848
01:23:31,840 --> 01:23:35,510
AS THEY LEFT, THE FIRE RACED

1849
01:23:35,510 --> 01:23:39,180
DOWN THE HILL SIDES AND THEIR

1850
01:23:39,180 --> 01:23:42,584
ENTIRE TOWN BURNED.

1851
01:23:42,584 --> 01:23:45,753
ONE BY ONE, THEIR HOMES, THEIR

1852
01:23:45,753 --> 01:23:49,390
CHURCHES, THEIR SCHOOLS, THEIR

1853
01:23:49,390 --> 01:23:52,560
BUSINESSES ALL THE THINGS THAT

1854
01:23:52,560 --> 01:23:57,832
DEFINE A PLACE THAT CREATED

1855
01:23:57,832 --> 01:23:59,701
NEIGHBORHOOD, IN JUST A FEW

1856
01:23:59,701 --> 01:24:03,371
SHORT HOURS WERE GONE.

1857
01:24:03,371 --> 01:24:07,709
ALL TOLD LOSSES TOO STAGGERING

1858
01:24:07,709 --> 01:24:11,079
TO COUNT, DEVASTATION TOO GREAT

1859
01:24:11,079 --> 01:24:14,482
TO QUANTIFY, AND HEART BREAK

1860
01:24:14,482 --> 01:24:17,485
THAT WILL NEVER HEAL.

1861
01:24:17,485 --> 01:24:20,021
FOR MOST, THERE WAS NOTHING TO

1862
01:24:20,021 --> 01:24:23,892
RETURN TO, AND NOTHING PREPARES

1863
01:24:23,892 --> 01:24:27,529
ANYONE FOR A DAY LIKE THAT.

1864
01:24:27,529 --> 01:24:30,532
BUT THE STORY OF WHAT HAPPENED

1865
01:24:30,532 --> 01:24:32,533
AFTER THE FIRE IS SOMETHING

1866
01:24:32,533 --> 01:24:34,636
REMARKABLE TOO.

1867
01:24:34,636 --> 01:24:36,204
WHAT CARRIED THE PACIFIC

1868
01:24:36,204 --> 01:24:38,072
PALISADES THROUGH THAT DAY, AND

1869
01:24:38,072 --> 01:24:41,476
THROUGH THE VERY LONG YEAR THAT

1870
01:24:41,476 --> 01:24:46,681
FOLLOWED, WAS NOT A SINGLE ACT

1871
01:24:46,681 --> 01:24:48,183
OR INSTITUTION, IT WAS PEOPLE.

1872
01:24:48,183 --> 01:24:51,619
WHILE THE ROADS WERE CLOSED AND

1873
01:24:51,619 --> 01:24:53,922
THE UTILITIES WERE OUT AND

1874
01:24:53,922 --> 01:24:55,290
FAMILIES WERE SCATTERED BEYOND

1875
01:24:55,290 --> 01:24:58,960
THE CITY AND BEYOND,

1876
01:24:58,960 --> 01:24:59,894
PALISADESIANS DID WHAT THEY

1877
01:24:59,894 --> 01:25:03,831
HAVE ALWAYS DONE, THEY SHOWED

1878
01:25:03,831 --> 01:25:05,266
UP FOR EACH:00 NOT BECAUSE THEY

1879
01:25:05,266 --> 01:25:07,101
WERE TOLD TO, NOT BECAUSE THERE

1880
01:25:07,101 --> 01:25:12,607
WAS A PLAN BOW BECAUSE THEY

1881
01:25:12,607 --> 01:25:13,241
UNDERSTOOD INSTINCTIVELY THAT

1882
01:25:13,241 --> 01:25:15,143
COMMUNITY WOULD BE THE FIRST

1883
01:25:15,143 --> 01:25:16,945
LINE OF SURVIVAL AND THE

1884
01:25:16,945 --> 01:25:19,447
FOUNDATION FOR RECOVERY.

1885
01:25:19,447 --> 01:25:20,848
NEIGHBORS CHECKED ON NEIGHBORS

1886
01:25:20,848 --> 01:25:23,384
WITHOUT EVEN KNOW IF THEY'RE

1887
01:25:23,384 --> 01:25:25,520
OWN HOMES WERE STILL STANDING,

1888
01:25:25,520 --> 01:25:26,888
PEOPLE SHARED INFORMATION WITH

1889
01:25:26,888 --> 01:25:29,190
EACH OTHER WHEN OFFICIAL

1890
01:25:29,190 --> 01:25:33,995
CHANNELS WERE OVERWHELMED, THEY

1891
01:25:33,995 --> 01:25:35,163
OPENED THEIR PHONES, THEIR

1892
01:25:35,163 --> 01:25:40,468
LIVING ROOMS AND THEY BEGAN

1893
01:25:40,468 --> 01:25:43,671
REBUILDING HUMAN CONNECTIONS

1894
01:25:43,671 --> 01:25:46,174
LONG BEFORE REBUILDING

1895
01:25:46,174 --> 01:25:48,009
STRUCTURES WAS EVEN IMAGINABLE.

1896
01:25:48,009 --> 01:25:52,413
AND WHEN THE SHOCK GAVE WAVE TO

1897
01:25:52,413 --> 01:25:54,515
REALITY THAT BECAME LEADERSHIP.

1898
01:25:54,515 --> 01:25:55,883
ORGANIZED BLOCK BY BLOCK WHEN

1899
01:25:55,883 --> 01:25:59,587
THERE WAS NO ROAD MAP THE,

1900
01:25:59,587 --> 01:26:01,923
CONVENED MEETINGS TO UNDERSTAND

1901
01:26:01,923 --> 01:26:03,324
DEBRIS REMOVAL AND INSURANCE

1902
01:26:03,324 --> 01:26:05,360
TIME LINES AND BUREAUCRATIC

1903
01:26:05,360 --> 01:26:06,561
PROCESSES THAT FELT IMPOSSIBLE

1904
01:26:06,561 --> 01:26:07,929
TO NAVIGATE ALONE.

1905
01:26:07,929 --> 01:26:10,265
THEY WORKED TOGETHER TO

1906
01:26:10,265 --> 01:26:11,833
COORDINATE DEBRIS REMOVAL

1907
01:26:11,833 --> 01:26:13,901
HELPING ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOODS

1908
01:26:13,901 --> 01:26:15,503
MOVE FORWARD TOGETHER, RATHER

1909
01:26:15,503 --> 01:26:18,740
THAN PARCEL BY PARCEL.

1910
01:26:18,740 --> 01:26:20,108
WHEN FRUSTRATION AND FEAR TOOK

1911
01:26:20,108 --> 01:26:23,845
HOLD AND IT DID, RESIDENTS

1912
01:26:23,845 --> 01:26:25,880
CREATED SPACES TO TALK, TO

1913
01:26:25,880 --> 01:26:28,650
LISTEN AND TO KEEP EACH OTHER

1914
01:26:28,650 --> 01:26:30,251
MOVING FORWARD EVEN AT TIMES

1915
01:26:30,251 --> 01:26:32,320
WHEN IT MIGHT HAVE JUST BEEN

1916
01:26:32,320 --> 01:26:35,056
EASIER TO GIVE UP.

1917
01:26:35,056 --> 01:26:37,592
THERE WERE SHREDS ENVISIONING

1918
01:26:37,592 --> 01:26:41,696
HOW REBUILDING COULD HAPPEN

1919
01:26:41,696 --> 01:26:44,098
BETTER AND SAFER, POP UP MEET

1920
01:26:44,098 --> 01:26:47,302
TO GO ADDRESS INSURANCE GAPS

1921
01:26:47,302 --> 01:26:49,070
AND FINANCIAL CHALLENGES EARLY

1922
01:26:49,070 --> 01:26:50,938
MORNING EMAILS AND LATE CALLS

1923
01:26:50,938 --> 01:26:53,675
AND COUNTLESS HOURS OF

1924
01:26:53,675 --> 01:26:55,576
VOLUNTEER LABOR THAT WILL NEVER

1925
01:26:55,576 --> 01:26:57,412
BE CAPTURED NAYS REPORT OR

1926
01:26:57,412 --> 01:26:59,280
PRESS RELEASE BUT WITHOUT WHICH

1927
01:26:59,280 --> 01:27:00,615
THIS RECOVERY WOULD HAVE

1928
01:27:00,615 --> 01:27:04,118
STALLED.

1929
01:27:04,118 --> 01:27:05,720
THIS ORGANIZED COORDINATION

1930
01:27:05,720 --> 01:27:08,956
LASTED NOT FOR DAYS BUT FOR

1931
01:27:08,956 --> 01:27:10,024
MONTHS AND THAT WORK CONTINUES

1932
01:27:10,024 --> 01:27:11,726
TODAY.

1933
01:27:11,726 --> 01:27:16,798
THERE ARE COUNTLESS

1934
01:27:16,798 --> 01:27:17,732
PALISADESIANS THAT CARRY THIS

1935
01:27:17,732 --> 01:27:19,133
AND I CANNOT NAME THEM TODAY

1936

STEPPED IN TO FILL THE GAPS

BEFORE GOVERNMENT SYSTEMS CAN

1962
01:28:39,847 --> 01:28:41,382
EVEN CATCH UP.

THE CALIFORNIA NATIONAL GUARD

1964

02:02:30,609 --> 02:02:34,280
AND FOR ME, I HAVE VERY MIXED

2768
02:02:34,280 --> 02:02:35,881
FEELINGS ABOUT THIS RETIREMENT.

2769
02:02:35,881 --> 02:02:37,750
I HAVE LOVED WORKING FOR THE

2770
02:02:37,750 --> 02:02:39,385
CITY, THE PROJECTS WITH ALL OF

2771
02:02:39,385 --> 02:02:41,319
YOU ACROSS THE CITY, EACH ONE

2772
02:02:41,319 --> 02:02:44,657
IS SPECIAL.

2773
02:02:44,657 --> 02:02:47,326
MY KIND OF CLEARING CRY IS THAT

2774
02:02:47,326 --> 02:02:48,594
DESIGN MATTERS AND I THINK I

2775
02:02:48,594 --> 02:02:51,129
BROUGHT THAT TO EVERY PROJECT I

2776
02:02:51,129 --> 02:02:53,866
WORK, WHETHER IT WAS A

2777
02:02:53,866 --> 02:02:55,501
RETAINING WALL OR SMALL PARK.

2778
02:02:55,501 --> 02:02:58,003
AND I HOPE THAT THE CITY

2779
02:02:58,003 --> 02:03:00,105
CONTINUES TO SEE THE VALUE IN

2780
02:03:00,105 --> 02:03:01,040
DESIGN, BECAUSE EVERY

2781
02:03:01,040 --> 02:03:02,842
INVESTMENT IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO

2782
02:03:02,842 --> 02:03:04,643
IMPROVE OUR COMMUNITIES.

PRESIDENT.

4249
02:49:57,920 --> 02:50:00,923
IN SPANISH WE HAVE A SAYING

4250
02:50:00,923 --> 02:50:05,261
SOLO EL PUEBLO SALVA EL PUEBLO.

4251
02:50:05,261 --> 02:50:07,096
WHICH MEANS ONLY THE PEOPLE CAN

4252
02:50:07,096 --> 02:50:08,064
SAVE THE PEOPLE.

4253
02:50:08,064 --> 02:50:10,099
NOW WHEN WE THINK ABOUT

4254
02:50:10,099 --> 02:50:11,734
EVERYTHING THAT IS HAPPENING

4255
02:50:11,734 --> 02:50:12,968
NATIONALLY, I THINK WE CAN ALL

4256
02:50:12,968 --> 02:50:14,437
AGREE THAT WE CAN IMPROVE ON

4257
02:50:14,437 --> 02:50:16,506
THAT.

4258
02:50:16,506 --> 02:50:18,040
THERE IS NEED MORE MUCH

4259
02:50:18,040 --> 02:50:19,108
IMPROVEMENT.

4260
02:50:19,108 --> 02:50:20,943
NOW THIS MOTION CALLSED FOR A

4261
02:50:20,943 --> 02:50:23,012
FORMAL POLICY FOR LAUPTD TO

4262
02:50:23,012 --> 02:50:25,081
COMMUNICATE AND COORDINATE WITH

4263
02:50:25,081 --> 02:50:26,048
PROTEST ORGANIZERS AHEAD OF

4264
02:50:26,048 --> 02:50:29,452
TIME SO WE CAN PLAN FOR SAFETY,

4265
02:50:29,452 --> 02:50:30,820
SET CLEAR EXPECTATIONS AND

4266
02:50:30,820 --> 02:50:33,122
MINIMIZE THE NEED FOR HEAVY LAW

4267
02:50:33,122 --> 02:50:33,789
ENFORCEMENT PRESENCE ON THE

4268
02:50:33,789 --> 02:50:34,524
FRONTLINES.

4269
02:50:34,524 --> 02:50:37,327
NOW MANY OF US CAN POINT TO

4270
02:50:37,327 --> 02:50:39,161
DIFFERENT EXAMPLES OR ACTIONS

4271
02:50:39,161 --> 02:50:41,698
WHERE WE'VE BEEN TO WHERE WE

4272
02:50:41,698 --> 02:50:43,065
HAVE SEEN POSITIVE OUTCOME SXZ

4273
02:50:43,065 --> 02:50:43,800
ELEMENTS.

4274
02:50:43,800 --> 02:50:47,870
FOR ME, ONE EXAMPLE NA IS VERY

4275
02:50:47,870 --> 02:50:49,972
CLEAR, IS THE PROTESTS THAT

4276
02:50:49,972 --> 02:50:54,143
HAPPEN AFTER THE ARRESTS OF

4277
02:50:54,143 --> 02:50:55,712
DEBBIE HUERTA.

4278
02:50:55,712 --> 02:50:58,481
I ATTENDED THAT, REALLY MASSIVE

4279
02:50:58,481 --> 02:51:01,550
MARCH THAT WAS LEAD BY LABOR AT

4280
02:51:01,550 --> 02:51:02,852
GRANT PARK.

4281
02:51:02,852 --> 02:51:05,388
AND I REMEMBER NOTICING HOW FEW

4282
02:51:05,388 --> 02:51:07,924
OFFICERS WERE WITHIN EYESIGHT.

4283
02:51:07,924 --> 02:51:11,861
AND THAT'S BECAUSE THE L.A.

4284
02:51:11,861 --> 02:51:13,930
FEDERATION OF LABOR HAD

4285
02:51:13,930 --> 02:51:16,032
VOLUNTEERED MEDIC AND BUILT

4286
02:51:16,032 --> 02:51:17,366
CLEAR COMMUNICATIONS STRUCTURE

4287
02:51:17,366 --> 02:51:18,368
OF COMMUNICATION.

4288
02:51:18,368 --> 02:51:20,203
AND I WANT TO BE CLEAR, THIS IS

4289
02:51:20,203 --> 02:51:22,037
NOT ABOUT ASKING PERMISSION

4290
02:51:22,037 --> 02:51:25,475
ABOUT HOW WE PROTEST, IT'S

4291
02:51:25,475 --> 02:51:26,676
SIMPLY ABOUT COMMUNICATING WITH

4292
02:51:26,676 --> 02:51:28,711
LAPD AND OUR CITY PARTNERS SO

4293
02:51:28,711 --> 02:51:30,313
THERE ARE NO SURPRISES.

4294
02:51:30,313 --> 02:51:33,516
THESE ARE THINGS THAT WE KNOW,

4295
02:51:33,516 --> 02:51:36,052
THAT CAN HELP DECA LATE

4296
02:51:36,052 --> 02:51:37,920
SITUATION SXZ REDUCE THE NEED

4297
02:51:37,920 --> 02:51:39,522
FOR POLICE INTERVENTION.

4298
02:51:39,522 --> 02:51:40,289
THAT EXPERIENCE REALLY STUCK TO

4299
02:51:40,289 --> 02:51:42,325
ME AND I REALLY APPRECIATE THE

4300
02:51:42,325 --> 02:51:43,893
CHIEF COMING HERE AND HAVING A

4301
02:51:43,893 --> 02:51:45,495
DIALOGUE ABOUT THIS AND SAYING

4302
02:51:45,495 --> 02:51:48,064
THAT THEY'RE OPEN TO THIS A

4303
02:51:48,064 --> 02:51:49,198
DIFFERENT WAY OF HANDLING

4304
02:51:49,198 --> 02:51:50,833
PROTEST.

4305
02:51:50,833 --> 02:51:52,001
BECAUSE WHEN COMMUNICATION

4306
02:51:52,001 --> 02:51:54,036
HAPPENS UP FRONT, WE ALLOW FOR

4307
02:51:54,036 --> 02:51:55,671
PEOPLE TO CONTROL THE SITUATION

4308
02:51:55,671 --> 02:51:58,374
AND KEEP THEMSELVES SAFE.

4309
02:51:58,374 --> 02:52:00,943
WE SEE FEWER FLASH POINTS AND

4310
02:52:00,943 --> 02:52:03,012
FEWER CONFRONTATION AND FEWER

4311
02:52:03,012 --> 02:52:04,647
PEOPLE GETTING HURT, AGAIN THIS

4312
02:52:04,647 --> 02:52:06,048
IS ABOUT LETTING FOLKS PROTECT

4313
02:52:06,048 --> 02:52:07,650
THEMSELVES.

4314
02:52:07,650 --> 02:52:09,685
TO THAT END, THIS CALLS FOR LOS

4315
02:52:09,685 --> 02:52:11,286
ANGELES TO JOIN MAJOR CITIES

4316
02:52:11,286 --> 02:52:14,290
LIKE NEW YORK AND BOSTON IN

4317
02:52:14,290 --> 02:52:15,925
ADOPTING A PROTEST, UNDER THIS

4318
02:52:15,925 --> 02:52:18,027
MODEL, THE HEAVY ARMED OFFICER

4319
02:52:18,027 --> 02:52:20,496
WITH MIMENT REEQUIPMENT, ARE

4320
02:52:20,496 --> 02:52:25,101
STAGED A FEW BLOCKS AWAY AND

4321
02:52:25,101 --> 02:52:25,968
DEPLOYED ONLY IF THERE IS

4322
02:52:25,968 --> 02:52:27,403
VIOLENCE.

4323
02:52:27,403 --> 02:52:28,337
MANY ANGELINOS ASSUME THIS IS

4324
02:52:28,337 --> 02:52:30,406
ALREADY THE CASE BUT RIGHT NOW,

4325
02:52:30,406 --> 02:52:32,275
THE HEAVY ARMED OFFICER ARE

4326
02:52:32,275 --> 02:52:33,643
OFTEN TIMES PLACED DIRECTLY ON

4327
02:52:33,643 --> 02:52:37,079
THE FRONTLINE IN MY OPINION,

4328
02:52:37,079 --> 02:52:38,481
PREMATURELY AND WE'VE SEEN HOW

4329
02:52:38,481 --> 02:52:41,217
THAT HAVING THAT POLICE

4330
02:52:41,217 --> 02:52:46,222
PRESENCE CAN CREATE ESCALATION

4331
02:52:46,222 --> 02:52:46,722
REGARDLESS OF OFFICER

4332
02:52:46,722 --> 02:52:47,423
INTENTIONS.

4333
02:52:47,423 --> 02:52:50,426
I WANT TO THANK THE XHAOEF FOR

4334
02:52:50,426 --> 02:52:51,594
ENGAGING ON THIS ISSUE AND I

4335
02:52:51,594 --> 02:52:54,397

MOTION.

4338
02:52:56,232 --> 02:52:58,100
I BELIEVE THAT IF WE DO THESE

4339
02:52:58,100 --> 02:53:00,403
THINGS, WE CAN LESSEN LIABILITY

4340
02:53:00,403 --> 02:53:03,840
PAY OUT, CREATE A MODEL THAT

4341
02:53:03,840 --> 02:53:04,774
FACILITATES PEACEFUL PROTEST

4342
02:53:04,774 --> 02:53:06,175
AND MEETS THIS UNPRECEDENTED

4343
02:53:06,175 --> 02:53:09,512
MOMENT THAT WE'RE IN AND I

4344
02:53:09,512 --> 02:53:11,647

COUNCILMEMBER SOTO-MARTINEZ FOR

4356
02:53:27,230 --> 02:53:29,732
BRINGING FORWARD THIS MOTION.

4357
02:53:29,732 --> 02:53:31,868
IN THESE CHAMBERS WE'VE

4358
02:53:31,868 --> 02:53:33,035
REPEATED DOCUMENTED THE

4359
02:53:33,035 --> 02:53:35,104
VIOLENCE OF FEDERAL ICE

4360
02:53:35,104 --> 02:53:36,506
OFFICERS AND FEDERAL LAW

4361
02:53:36,506 --> 02:53:38,808
ENFORCEMENT THAT HAVE

4362
02:53:38,808 --> 02:53:39,709
TERRORIZED COMMUNITIES IN LOS

4363
02:53:39,709 --> 02:53:42,545
ANGELES BUT OUR COLLECTIVE

4364
02:53:42,545 --> 02:53:47,083
OUTRAGE ABOUT ICE IS PREMISE ON

4365
02:53:47,083 --> 02:53:48,718
UNSPOKEN PREMISE THAT WE'RE

4366
02:53:48,718 --> 02:53:50,553
DIFFERENT, WE'RE NOT USING OUR

4367
02:53:50,553 --> 02:53:52,421
LAW ENFORCEMENT POWERS TO

4368
02:53:52,421 --> 02:53:53,256
TERRORIZE FAMILIES AND WORKING

4369
02:53:53,256 --> 02:53:53,823
PEOPLE.

4370
02:53:53,823 --> 02:53:55,658
BUT I THINK WHAT WE'VE SEEN IN

4371
02:53:55,658 --> 02:53:57,359
SOME OF THE RESPONSE TO SEE

4372
02:53:57,359 --> 02:53:59,362
LOCAL PROTEST AND TO ICE

4373
02:53:59,362 --> 02:54:00,763
ACTIONS HAVE UNDERMINED THAT

4374
02:54:00,763 --> 02:54:04,901
PREMISE, THERE IS BEEN NUMEROUS

4375
02:54:04,901 --> 02:54:07,003
TESTIMONY AND VIDEO FOOTAGE OF

4376
02:54:07,003 --> 02:54:09,705
LAPD USING TEAR GAS, PROTESTERS

4377
02:54:09,705 --> 02:54:14,277
GETTING HIT BY LESS LETHALS,

4378
02:54:14,277 --> 02:54:17,513
JOURNALIST GETTING HIT AND

4379
02:54:17,513 --> 02:54:20,016
PROTESTERS GETTING HURT WHILE

4380
02:54:20,016 --> 02:54:21,183
EXERCISING THEIR RIGHTS.

4381
02:54:21,183 --> 02:54:23,753
NOW THEY HAVE OPERATED

4382
02:54:23,753 --> 02:54:26,055
OPERATIONAL POWER OVER LAPD

4383
02:54:26,055 --> 02:54:28,357
THAT'S BY DESIGN THAT'S HOW OUR

4384
02:54:28,357 --> 02:54:28,891
CITY IS DESIGNED.

4385
02:54:28,891 --> 02:54:31,827
AND AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, BY

4386
02:54:31,827 --> 02:54:33,896
LOOKING AT OUR AGENDA BY THE

4387
02:54:33,896 --> 02:54:35,698
BODY WHICH IS OUR POLICE

4388
02:54:35,698 --> 02:54:38,534
COMMISSION, THEY HAVE NOT BEEN

4389
02:54:38,534 --> 02:54:40,369
COMMISSIONED BY THESE ISSUED IN

4390
02:54:40,369 --> 02:54:41,938
GREAT DEPTH BUT I THINK THAT

4391
02:54:41,938 --> 02:54:43,606
IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE AS A

4392
02:54:43,606 --> 02:54:44,706
BODY DO ENGAGE.

4393
02:54:44,706 --> 02:54:45,942
I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE

4394
02:54:45,942 --> 02:54:47,543
HAVE TO TREAT THIS MOMENT

4395
02:54:47,543 --> 02:54:51,447
DIFFERENTLY, THIS IS AMBITIOUS

4396
02:54:51,447 --> 02:54:53,415
ON HOW WE THINK ABOUT OUR

4397
02:54:53,415 --> 02:54:54,884
PROTEST RESPONSE.

4398
02:54:54,884 --> 02:54:56,051
WE'RE EXPECTING MORE PROTEST

4399
02:54:56,051 --> 02:54:57,186
TOMORROW.

4400
02:54:57,186 --> 02:54:59,488
WILL THEY LOOK DIFFERENT?

4401
02:54:59,488 --> 02:55:00,555
HOW QUICKLY CAN THEY MAKE

4402
02:55:00,555 --> 02:55:02,258
CHANGE.

4403
02:55:02,258 --> 02:55:04,560
WHEN MOTIONS COME FORWARD, THEY

4404
02:55:04,560 --> 02:55:05,928
TAKE YEARS FOR THEM TO MOVE

4405
02:55:05,928 --> 02:55:08,264
THROUGH OUR CREEKING SYSTEM.

4406
02:55:08,264 --> 02:55:10,132
AND I HOPE THAT BECAUSE OF THIS

4407
02:55:10,132 --> 02:55:11,734
MOMENT IS CALLING FOR CHANGE

4408
02:55:11,734 --> 02:55:14,437
THAT THE PUBLIC SAFETY

4409
02:55:14,437 --> 02:55:15,170
COMMITTEE, COUNCIL PRESIDENT'S

4410

02:57:08,250 --> 02:57:09,418
WE STILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO

HAVE A CONVERSATION AROUND

4463
02:57:11,053 --> 02:57:12,388

IN IN CITY OR WHETHER OR NOT

4465
02:57:15,391 --> 02:57:17,426
EX-PARTE COMMUNICATIONS WILL

CHARTER REFORM COMMISSION THAT

02:57:24,533 --> 02:57:26,402
THE FUTURE OF THE CITY IS GOING

4470
02:57:26,402 --> 02:57:27,636
TO LOOK LIKE.

4471
02:57:27,636 --> 02:57:31,974
THERE IS ACTIVE OBSTRUCTION

4472
02:57:31,974 --> 02:57:33,142
HAPPENING AND ACTIVE

4473
02:57:33,142 --> 02:57:33,876
OBSTRUCTIONS OF MOTIONS COMING

4474
02:57:33,876 --> 02:57:34,543
FORWARD.

4475
02:57:34,543 --> 02:57:36,412
SO I'M GLAD IN MOTION IS COMING

4476
02:57:36,412 --> 02:57:37,579
FORWARD BUT YOU KNOW WHAT,

4477
02:57:37,579 --> 02:57:39,247
FOLKS, THERE IS A REASON WHY

4478
02:57:39,247 --> 02:57:41,250
THE PUBLIC IS UPSET AND THEY

4479
02:57:41,250 --> 02:57:43,251
HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO BE UPSET.

4480
02:57:43,251 --> 02:57:52,428
BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE, THES

4481
02:57:52,428 --> 02:57:54,497
SILENCE THAT ENABLEMENT THAT A

4482
02:57:54,497 --> 02:57:58,167
LAWS PEOPLE P NOT SCHEDULING

4483
02:57:58,167 --> 02:58:00,903
MOTIONS FOR US TO START MOVING

4484
02:58:00,903 --> 02:58:03,506
THE NEEDLE ON THESE *ISHZ,

4485
02:58:03,506 --> 02:58:18,087
YOU'RE COMPLICITY.

4486
02:58:18,087 --> 02:58:24,493
NOT --I REALLY HOPE THAT THIS

4487
02:58:24,493 --> 02:58:25,694
MARKS A TREMENDOUS SHIFT NOT

4488
02:58:25,694 --> 02:58:27,763
JUST ON THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE

4489
02:58:27,763 --> 02:58:29,365
BUT ON SEVERAL ISSUES.

4490
02:58:29,365 --> 02:58:31,934
WHERE THERE IS BEEN A FAILURE

4491
02:58:31,934 --> 02:58:33,769
AND OBSTRUCTION TO HAVING THE

4492
02:58:33,769 --> 02:58:35,371
ACTUAL CONVERSATIONS THAT THIS

4493
02:58:35,371 --> 02:58:36,505
BODY NEEDS TO HAVE.

4494
02:58:36,505 --> 02:58:37,907
BECAUSE THE PUBLIC HAS EVERY

4495
02:58:37,907 --> 02:58:39,742
RIGHT TO BE PISSED OFF.

4496
02:58:39,742 --> 02:58:42,511
AND SO, THERE IS PLENTY, THERE

4497
02:58:42,511 --> 02:58:44,814
IS ENOUGH TIME FOR US TO HAVE

4498
02:58:44,814 --> 02:58:46,215
MEETINGS IN COUNCIL OR TO

4499
02:58:46,215 --> 02:58:48,484
ADVANCE THESE IN THEIR

4500
02:58:48,484 --> 02:58:50,753
RESPECTIVE COMMITTEES BUT

4501
02:58:50,753 --> 02:58:56,025
ENOUGH DELAY, ENOUGH EXCUSES.

4502
02:58:56,025 --> 02:58:58,594
EVERYONE NEEDS TO UPPED THE

4503
02:58:58,594 --> 02:58:59,762
ROLE THAT THEY SIGNED UP FOR

4504
02:58:59,762 --> 02:59:03,465
AND IF YOU WANT TO VOTE

4505
02:59:03,465 --> 02:59:04,633
SOMETHING VOTE AGAINST IT.

4506
02:59:04,633 --> 02:59:06,268
BUT TO BURY IT IN YOUR

4507
02:59:06,268 --> 02:59:07,403
COMMITTEE THAT NEEDS TO STOP

4508
02:59:07,403 --> 02:59:09,404
AND I HOPE IT STOPS IN THIS NEW

4509
02:59:09,404 --> 02:59:11,006
YEAR.

4510
02:59:11,006 --> 02:59:11,941

TO NOT TURN OUR HEADS WHEN

03:11:42,023 --> 03:11:44,125
THOSE RESOURCES ARE NOT BEING

ALL RIGHT, WITH THAT, WE ARE

4967
03:15:00,988 --> 03:15:03,358
ADJOURNED.

4968
03:15:03,358 --> 03:15:19,641
THANK YOU, EVERYBODY.

4969
03:16:15,597 --> 03:16:17,197
My whole team has been out here

4970
03:16:17,197 --> 03:16:19,500
since early early this morning

4971
03:16:19,500 --> 03:16:24,205
organizing. Food is really

4972
03:16:24,205 --> 03:16:26,307
expensive and people have food

4973
03:16:26,307 --> 03:16:28,843
insecurities. This should

4974
03:16:28,843 --> 03:16:31,379
stabilize how they feel about

4975
03:16:31,379 --> 03:16:33,281
what their next meal is. And

4976
03:16:33,281 --> 03:16:34,382
that's what we're trying to

4977
03:16:34,382 --> 03:16:43,291
satisfy. Two sides of the same

4978
03:16:43,291 --> 03:16:45,092
coin are at work in South LA

4979
03:16:45,092 --> 03:16:46,894
with funding for Green and

4980
03:16:46,894 --> 03:16:48,262
sustainable projects. Parks in

4981
03:16:48,262 --> 03:16:51,065
the area are getting EV chargers

4982
03:16:51,065 --> 03:16:52,600
and more tree coverage, both of

4983
03:16:52,600 --> 03:16:54,002
which will help bring down

4984
03:16:54,002 --> 03:16:55,369
pollution levels in the

4985
03:16:55,369 --> 03:17:00,174
neighborhoods. Where Harbor Park

4986
03:17:00,174 --> 03:17:01,509
in South LA were celebrating the

4987
03:17:01,509 --> 03:17:02,977
installations of the South LA

4988
03:17:02,977 --> 03:17:08,850
Ecolab for the EV chargers. This

4989
03:17:08,850 --> 03:17:10,151
is part of a bigger program,

4990
03:17:10,151 --> 03:17:13,554
universal Basic Mobility, which

4991
03:17:13,554 --> 03:17:16,357
is a 30 million investment in

4992
03:17:16,357 --> 03:17:17,958
South Los Angeles to bring

4993
03:17:17,958 --> 03:17:21,128
mobility options, access to

4994
03:17:21,128 --> 03:17:22,629
opportunity and increased

4995
03:17:22,629 --> 03:17:25,400
transportation equity. While

4996
03:17:25,400 --> 03:17:26,834
reducing greenhouse gas

4997
03:17:26,834 --> 03:17:30,571
emissions at the same time. The

4998
03:17:30,571 --> 03:17:32,673
bureau got invited to

4999
03:17:32,673 --> 03:17:34,042
participate in the TCC grant

5000
03:17:34,042 --> 03:17:35,476
program, and our role is to

5001
03:17:35,476 --> 03:17:37,645
install 16 EV chargers across

5002
03:17:37,645 --> 03:17:38,712
four different parks here in

5003
03:17:38,712 --> 03:17:40,414
South LA. Our charging program

5004
03:17:40,414 --> 03:17:41,950
is a little different than most.

5005
03:17:41,950 --> 03:17:43,351
Um, we install chargers on

5006
03:17:43,351 --> 03:17:44,985
existing infrastructure. Uh, we

5007
03:17:44,985 --> 03:17:46,621
found that our existing street

5008
03:17:46,621 --> 03:17:48,456
light circuits had extra

5009
03:17:48,456 --> 03:17:49,523
capacity when we converted to

5010
03:17:49,523 --> 03:17:52,026
LEDs. We currently have over 800

5011
03:17:52,026 --> 03:17:53,094
chargers throughout the city of

5012
03:17:53,094 --> 03:17:55,830
Los Angeles. So these chargers

5013
03:17:55,830 --> 03:17:57,298
are going to offer a convenient

5014
03:17:57,298 --> 03:17:59,634
place for people to charge close

5015
03:17:59,634 --> 03:18:00,801
to home, especially for people

5016
03:18:00,801 --> 03:18:02,870
who may have challenges charging

5017
03:18:02,870 --> 03:18:04,038
at home, like people who live in

5018
03:18:04,038 --> 03:18:11,145
multi-family housing. For South

5019
03:18:11,145 --> 03:18:13,614
L.A. Ecolab, we're working with

5020
03:18:13,614 --> 03:18:15,416
community organizations such as

5021
03:18:15,416 --> 03:18:16,851
Three People to increase the

5022
03:18:16,851 --> 03:18:18,385
community canopy in South LA,

5023
03:18:18,385 --> 03:18:20,421
call the community Canopy

5024
03:18:20,421 --> 03:18:23,091
expansion Project and its main

5025
03:18:23,091 --> 03:18:25,860
goal is to advance shade and

5026
03:18:25,860 --> 03:18:28,830
tree equity by planting 4000

5027
03:18:28,830 --> 03:18:32,333
trees in city parkways and also

5028
03:18:32,333 --> 03:18:34,168
distributing 2000 fruit or shade

5029
03:18:34,168 --> 03:18:36,303
trees to residents to plant in

5030
03:18:36,303 --> 03:18:39,773
their home. Both projects will

5031
03:18:39,773 --> 03:18:41,875
help each other. The charging

5032
03:18:41,875 --> 03:18:44,411
station will help with pollution

5033
03:18:44,411 --> 03:18:47,782
with less carbon monoxide in the

5034
03:18:47,782 --> 03:18:51,419
area and the tree planting will

5035
03:18:51,419 --> 03:18:53,921
help absorb that, uh, carbon

5036
03:18:53,921 --> 03:18:55,657
monoxide with the events that we

5037
03:18:55,657 --> 03:18:57,891
had in certain parks where we

5038
03:18:57,891 --> 03:18:59,594
gave away free seeds and like

5039
03:18:59,594 --> 03:19:01,161
you said, with the trees, we

5040
03:19:01,161 --> 03:19:02,563
also was teaching you how to

5041
03:19:02,563 --> 03:19:04,198
plant and provide and take care

5042
03:19:04,198 --> 03:19:08,703
of the tree. Also. This is the

5043
03:19:08,703 --> 03:19:09,670
first park that we're

5044
03:19:09,670 --> 03:19:10,304
completing. The installations.

5045
03:19:10,304 --> 03:19:12,206
We are working in different

5046
03:19:12,206 --> 03:19:14,508
parks in South L.A. where we are

5047
03:19:14,508 --> 03:19:17,378
also installing EV chargers. Our

5048
03:19:17,378 --> 03:19:18,780
next park will be Vermont

5049
03:19:18,780 --> 03:19:20,548
Square, South Park and the

5050
03:19:20,548 --> 03:19:31,425
Wetlands. La sanitation takes in

5051
03:19:31,425 --> 03:19:33,093
hazardous household waste at its

5052
03:19:33,093 --> 03:19:36,798
safe centers. The Ladwp is

5053
03:19:36,798 --> 03:19:38,232
hosting a customer service

5054
03:19:38,232 --> 03:19:40,200
Saturday on January 17th and

5055
03:19:40,200 --> 03:19:42,470
volunteer signups are open for

5056
03:19:42,470 --> 03:19:45,073

5059
03:19:55,349 --> 03:19:56,917
wants to let Angelenos know that

5060
03:19:56,917 --> 03:19:59,787
it's safe. Centers are permanent

5061
03:19:59,787 --> 03:20:01,222
collection sites for hazardous

5062
03:20:01,222 --> 03:20:02,823
household and electronic waste.

5063
03:20:02,823 --> 03:20:05,226

5064
03:20:05,226 --> 03:20:06,727
Automotive Flammables and

5065
03:20:06,727 --> 03:20:08,362
electronics. And the Safe

5066
03:20:08,362 --> 03:20:10,164
centers take in items such as

5067
03:20:10,164 --> 03:20:11,665
aerosol cans, batteries, paints

5068
03:20:11,665 --> 03:20:14,869
and more. La City Sanitation

5069
03:20:14,869 --> 03:20:17,038
advises keeping items in their
