OPINION by @RyanSmithEd: The lack of stable housing often leads youth to repeated interactions with the criminal justice system, as they may be detained for minor offenses or for violating terms of probation that require them to maintain a stable address.

For the first time in 98 years, the City Council has an all-female committee! I'm proud to join my colleagues @cd1losangeles @CW_HeatherHutt @CD5LosAngeles and @TraciParkforLA in serving on the Transportation Committee and working toward creating safer streets for all Angelenos.

Today's advancements in tenant protections are the most significant since the institution of the Rent Stabilization Ordinance. I'm very grateful to my colleagues, and especially to all of the coalition partners who fought for change throughout this process.

CoCo members are making their voices heard, calling the LA City Council Housing Committee and urging them to implement tenant/renter protections before the moratorium ends, which is set to expire on Jan. 31.

A bright 31-year old high school English teacher and father of a six year old. Tased by LAPD 6 times. He died a few hours later of cardiac arrest.
I have no words. Just tragic. Our educators are everything.

A survey finds that 71% of Americans now approve of labor unions — its highest point since 1965.
And that approval is highest among young people in the workforce. mktplc.org/3IxBp2p
