If you are a Beverly Hills resident, please take action in support of the city adding its first roundabout at a notoriously dangerous intersection for drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists.

Today, the UNIDAD coalition sent a letter to Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass in response to her Executive Directive to inventory city-owned land for permanent and affordable housing. We urge her to preserve the Bethune site in South LA for public good. https://t.co/1KLga92Q3D

[Dr. Destiny Deguzman (nee Thomas) @DrDesThePlanner]

As a city planner, I often felt my social justice aspirations were unachievable in that role. I still question the efficacy of working in/with govt agencies when it comes to racialized communities. The Dignity Institute is not just a training, it's an organizing tool.

[Strategic Actions for a Just Economy @SAJE_ShiftPower]

Hey @MayorOfLA please require that the former Bethune library, VACANT PUBLIC LAND, be part of your emergency order. The city should not be selling public land to a luxury hotel developer, and it's ridiculous that city council signed off on that decision. https://t.co/8erPRNGmTp

A new Zillow study says that renters who make minimum wage have two options to keep rent under 30% of their income: either find 3 roommates (with 2 people per bedroom) or work 4 full-time jobs.

Today @KeepLAHoused got permanent tenant protections passed for LA city tenants!
We would not be here without the commitment and hard work of the tenants, community members, and community organizers who were part of this coalition

Your body is not a product to use or a problem to fix.

Your body is a person to love.
